Manchester United could end up missing out on their number one summer transfer target.
That’s according to a recent report from Spanish outlet Cadena SER, who claim midfielder Frenkie De Jong is refusing to quit Barcelona.

Understood to be at the very top of Erik ten Hag’s summer wishlist, De Jong’s proposed move to Old Trafford has been viewed as integral to how the beginning of the Dutchman’s reign will play out.

However, with talks continuing for days and no real progress yet to be made, the United faithful have been left to sweat on the Netherlands international’s final decision, and these latest reports suggest the playmaker may have turned down the chance to move to the Premier League.
Since joining Barcelona from Ajax back in 2019, De Jong, who has four years left on his deal at the Nou Camp, has gone on to feature in 138 matches, in all competitions, directly contributing to 29 goals along the way.
Then let him keep warning the bench at barca may be he prefer to be a bench warmer than to become a first team player if de Jon really turn down the chance to join utd he will regret it time to come.
Oga he will not reagrat anything. Manu is the worst club in the world now. So let him stay at barcelona that is the best for him
Lol he can never regret it. He fought for the top four with his colleagues do u don’t expect him to go and play in Europa league.
Why join a team years away from competing to win anything. He’s come through pain already at Barca but youngsters like Gavi provide hope. What hope would he have at United? Just ask Ronaldo would he say United is aspirational at the moment.
If de Jong wants to stay at Barcelona let him stay and let’s move on to other targets ….no player is bigger than Man United , it’s time we sort these players out if they don’t wanna be part of our project then let’s just show him we not begging him it’s an offer .
Tired of this players de Jong won’t even bring much to united it’s another pogba
He is a good player and will suit xavi’s project ,
He is still a young player and still have enough time to prove him self.
Newcastle should buy him
I would love it if we beat them…. to his signature….. that is.
Manure are on the decline now too many prima Donna’s.
he made the wrong decision if he did that.
I don’t want him to go-to Utd
Let him be this guy is already wasting our time in the window let us move to other targets ggmu
One De Jong..is not enough..had it been so what has he achieved at Barca.Ten Hag 8s overly obsessed with Dutchmen…..that will cost Man U.
