Frenkie De Jong Finally Breaks Silence On Manchester United Links

Frenkie De Jong Finally Breaks Silence On Manchester United Links

Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong has finally responded to the links about possibility reuniting with Erik ten Hag at Manchester United.

The Dutch midfielder has become a reported target for the new Red Devils as they look to rebuild the squad for the new season.

De Jong, while on international duty with Holland, has been asked about his future at the Camp Nou and possibility of reuniting with Ten Hag.

"I recently spoke extensively with the trainer [Xavi]. That was a very good conversation.

"I will not go into that [the links to United]. Not even about other names or clubs. I used to be naive and open-minded about it. I don't do that any more.

"I understand that that link is made. That sum is not that difficult, it is logical.

"I have enjoyed working with Ten Hag at Ajax – and I can't look into the future, of course. But I prefer to stay at Barcelona.

"That has always been my dream club and it still is. As long as I don't hear from the club management, I assume nothing is going on."
