Manchester United want to sign Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong this summer.
Manchester United is feeling confident about signing Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong this summer. Man United’s new manager Erik ten Hag wants the midfielder in his team as it is said that the Dutch manager trusts the Dutch player and feels he can solve United’s midfield problem.
Frenkie de Jong can play central midfield, defensive midfield and also attacking midfield and because of this quality, Erik ten Hag wants him in United. Manchester United’s midfield area has been a centre of attention as four of their midfield players namely Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata, and Nemanja Matic are all set to leave the club this summer.
As reported by ‘talkSPORT’, United are increasingly confident of completing the signing of Frenkie de Jong in this current transfer window. The transfer window officially started on Friday, 10th June. It will be interesting to see whether Erik ten Hag and the team meet their summer targets or not. Manchester United are also looking for a striker and are in contacts with Benfica’s forward Darwin Nunez (as reported by Fabrizio Romano).
