Frenkie de Jong to Manchester United Deal Almost Completed
Breaking News: Frenkie de Jong to Manchester United Deal Almost Completed.
Sports Illustrated reports suggest Barca midfielder Frenkie De Jong is reportedly very close to joining Manchester United as the Red Devils and Barcelona are close to ‘closing a deal’ according to a new report.
“Frenkie De Jong will be 100% transferred to Manchester United. It is a pure economic issue. Barça needs to sell a player.”
United are reportedly said to be close to closing a deal for the transfer of De Jong from BARCA ahead of the summer window.
United had been linked to De Jong in the past weeks but reports had suggested that De Jong would remain at the Spanish giants.
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has previously hailed Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong’s calmness and ability to play under pressure amid speculation the pair could be reunited at Old Trafford this summer.
According to reports in Spain, United are working on a deal to sign De Jong. The duo worked together at Ajax until the midfielder joined Barcelona back in the summer of 2019.

De Jong, who turns 25 on Thursday, thrived under Ten Hag’s management in Amsterdam and earned his move to Barcelona as a result of his development under the incoming United boss. He played a key role in their famous run to the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2019 and made almost 100 appearances for the club.
For Ten Hag, who knows his fellow countryman inside out, it is his ability to play without showing any sense of pressure that makes him so unique and talented.
Ahead of joining Barcelona almost three years ago, Ten Hag, as quoted by UEFA.com, said: “He is always calm and always has the solution. He scans so well that he always knows how to go forward.”You can hardly put him under pressure – that is such a great gift.”
Ten Hag, in a separate interview, also outlined how he turned De Jong into such an outstanding talent. He addressed how it was important to discover the right formation to bring the best out of him.
Frenkie de jong close to joing Man U as Haaland completes City move
According to Gerard Romero, a reliable journalist in relation to Barcelona news, “There is a 95% chance that Frenkie de Jong joins Manchester United. Barcelona need to sell due to financial reasons. The operation would be closed for €70m-€80m”.
United were hopeful they could persuade Haaland to link up with his former teammate and good pal Sancho who arrived at Old Trafford last summer. Haaland and Sancho formed a devastating partnership during their time at Signal Iduna Park.
The pair’s relationship off the pitch was equally as fruitful and Haaland was gutted when Sancho joined United. Haaland wrote on Instagram at the time: “Good luck on your next journey bro. We had some good times together! Can’t wait to see you shine!”
The feeling was clearly mutual as Sancho hailed their “connection like no other” hinting there could be a reunion later down the line at United. Sancho responded to the post: “A connection like no other, we will soon meet again brother. Take care and good luck to you too.”
Haaland did not oblige, however, and to add insult to injury they’re now rivals as he’s set to join United’s archy enemy. Sancho has struggled in his debut season with the Red Devils as he’s been unable to forge an understanding with Cristiano Ronaldo. That’s something that wasn’t an issue at Dortmund as the winger talked up his almost telepathic connection with Haaland.

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job
Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time
The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best
The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss
Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.
ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.

Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
