World class midfielder given Man United advice – with £60m deal on horizion
Frenkie de Jong has been urged to snub Man United and remain with Barcelona in the summer – by Steve McManaman.
De Jong has been a player that has been in the headlines alot over the past few days – as it has been suggested that he could be heading to Manchester to link-up with Erik Ten Hag
It has been claimed that Barcelona are very much open to the idea of letting De Jong depart the club for a fee of £60 million – and with Ten Hag keen on a deal – he has reportedly told the Man United board to get a transfer deal done
But amid all the speculation that a deal is on the horizon – De Jong has been told to snub a move to Manchester and instead stay and fight for his place in that Barcelona side, The ex-Liverpool star told HorseRacing.net: “For him to go to Manchester United then I think they’d have to pay him more than he’s earning at Barcelona.
“Which I think will be a really hard thing to do considering that he went to Barcelona for a huge amount of money.
“You’d rather stay at Barcelona in the Champions League with Xavi trying to change things around.
“Players like [Andreas] Christensen and [Robert] Lewandowski potentially coming in makes that a more exciting challenge in my opinion.”

It has been a shock to see that Barcelona are open to the idea of letting De Jong leave – but when times are hard we guess
He would be a brilliant signing for Man United and would certainly improve that midfield – especially as most of the side have been awful this season
It would not be a shock to see him stay at Barca – but it would also not be a shock to see him rock up at old Trafford
