Ten Hag still ‘in love’ with Frenkie de Jong and there could be an offer to Barca

XAVI WOULDN’T WANT TO SEE THE DUTCHMAN LEAVE

It has not been a secret for anybody that from the summer of 2022 the Manchester United has wanted to reinforce his midfield with players that can be the most similar possible to the philosophy of game of Erik have Hag. The Dutch technician arrived in that moment to Old Trafford and almost two years afterwards seems to have not given still with these ‘jugones’ that deliver him regularity to level of game, and also of results.

In fact, the English group course in the sixth position of the Premier League, keeping to six points of the Tottenham, last team that has right now a direct square for the European competitions the course that comes. But the things perhaps would have been distinct if the past summer, or the one of two years ago, if Frenkie Of Jong had finished in Old Trafford, just as it wanted the trainer.

The United had bet strongly by Of Jong

And it is that Have Hag admitted to ‘Sky Sports’ that the United was very interested in doing with the services of the player of the Barça and even regretted that it could not complete his signing because it would have been key “to develop the game” that had in mind. “To play of one some form need to players very specific. Yes, we went to fichar to Of Jong and could not in his moment”, commented.

“Of Jong is a footballer that had complemented very well with Casemiro in the centre of the field to develop the game that wanted”, deepened. The trainer considers that the midfield would have been upper to having been able to have the culé and his wide experience in the elite, by what if it continues in the bench mancuniano the following course visualises a third attempt of the English in completing the operation, something that will depend on the offer, of the will of the player and of what so opened was Xavi Hernández to this exit, something that for now does not seem that it was too.

Frenkie Was not the only operation frustrated for the United

Of equal way, confessed that the United tried fichar to Hary Kane, also without luck. “We wanted to it because it is a footballer that ensures you 30 goals by season and this is very complicated. We have to Hojlund, that is very good forward but still is young. Sure that over time it will achieve to arrive to these figures, but Kane guaranteeed it to you of immediate form”, sentenced.
