Barcelona‘s financial issues could reportedly be good news for Manchester United in their pursuit of Frenkie de Jong in this summer transfer window.

According to 90min, he Netherlands international has an interest in linking up with his former manager at Ajax, Erik ten Hag, who will be taking over at Old Trafford at the end of the season.

The report also suggests that Barca opting to sell De Jong due to their financial woes can’t be entirely ruled out, so this sounds potentially very promising for Man Utd.

This has also been backed up by reliable journalist Marcelo Bechler in the tweet below…

The Red Devils urgently need to make changes in midfield this summer after such a disappointing season, with Fred and Scott McTominay not looking good enough, while both Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic are about to be out of contract.
