Will Frenkie de Jong come to Manchester United?
Is De Jong leaving Barcelona next summer? And Will Frenkie de Jong come to Manchester United?
Son of Johan and Barcelona sporting director Jordi Cruyff spoke with Sky Sports News about his role with Barcelona and why Frenkie de Jong didn’t end up leaving the Nou Camp despite interest from Manchester United over the summer. Here is Why Frenkie de Jong Did Not Sign for Man Utd.
De Jong didn’t leave Barca because he didn’t want to leave ,that’s a fact. He said it many times. One question that wasn’t asked was…. if, as Cruyff states, it takes three to agree to a transfer, why did Barca agree to sell the player? The whole thing didn’t pass the smell test.
Barca agreed to sell the player with another club, when that didn’t happen, they insisted the player had to take a pay cut if he was to stay. The player then insisted he was not going to take any cut in pay.
Now everyone seems happy. Another question we have to ask is this…..is De Jong getting his full salary this year or did he take a pay cut as Barca stated he had to do?
SportsFila discusses why Frenkie de Jong didn’t leave Barcelona over the summer
Cruyff says the only reason FDJ never left is FDJ himself. Barca should be thoroughly embarrassed with their conduct of actively hounding out players this past summer, instead of being proud of their “economic levers” i.e. selling out their future.
Will Frenkie de Jong come to Manchester United next summer?
According to Goal, De Jong reveals why he snubbed Man Utd transfer & opens up on reduced role at Barcelona.
De Jong was the subject of intense transfer interest from Manchester United throughout the summer, with Chelsea also eventually throwing their hat in the ring.
Barcelona were inclined to sell to ease their ongoing financial woes and even agreed a deal with United, but the midfielder ultimately remained at Camp Nou having previously insisted he wanted to stay put. However, the 25-year-old has since found his game time limited.
A possible de Jong move to Old Trafford could actually be in the cards next summer as Erik ten Hag’s Red Devils have not given up hopes of signing the central midfielder.
Is De Jong leaving Barcelona?
Speaking to NOS on international duty with the Netherlands, De Jong revealed when and why he decided to stay at Barcelona, saying: “I had already decided in May that I wanted to stay. So I was very calm. I now feel welcome at the club. Nothing has ever changed with my teammates.”
Frenkie De Jong has been threatened by FC Barcelona’s board with legal action regarding his new contract. Plus, some of his teammates’ actions piled even more pressure on the Dutch player. Why on earth are the Culés treating him so badly?
The way Barca treat him is a disgrace, Frenkie doesn’t deserve it, he’s a great player who loves the club, Barca should be ashamed
How are you going to spend 200 million in one window & then tell someone they have to take a pay cut?
Barcelona deserves all the pain it is going through now. They’ve let go of all their values.
There was a time when Barca fans mocked Madrid for focusing on big money star signings and ironically Barca itself has become the club that neglects its youth and focuses on expensive stars. That is how they got in this hard situation. It is merely a consequence of their own actions.

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
