Manchester United has revived its interest in signing Frenkie de Jong, a player from FC Barcelona, at the explicit request of Erik ten Hag, who knows that he needs to change the team's dynamics in the short term to maintain his position. Since his arrival at Old Trafford, Ten Hag has identified De Jong as one of his priorities to strengthen the midfield of the English team. Despite past failed attempts, the 'red devils' would be willing to make a new effort in the upcoming January market to achieve his signing.
Frenkie de Jong, 27 years old, has been a key player at Barça since his arrival in 2019, but the Catalan club's financial problems and his high salary have kept speculations open about a possible departure. The Dutchman's contract with Barcelona runs until 2026, but the Blaugranas could be willing to consider offers if the right conditions arise, especially if it helps ease the wage bill.

Manchester United hopes to capitalize on Barça's financial situation and offer De Jong a leading role under Ten Hag's command, who previously coached him during his time at Ajax. The midfielder has had some physical issues that have kept him off the field in recent months, but his quality remains undisputed, making him the ideal player to strengthen United's midfield.
With a potential transfer valued at around 60-70 million euros, Manchester United seems determined to do everything possible to secure De Jong, a signing that could alter the dynamics of the English team in the second half of the season.
