The possible departure of Frenkie De Jong from Barcelona is reactivated

Manchester United finds itself in a critical situation after a disappointing start to the season in the Premier League. With only 8 points on the table, occupying the 14th place, the team led by Erik Ten Hag is closer to the relegation positions than to the Champions League fight. This crisis has reignited rumors about the continuity of the Dutch coach, who, despite surviving in previous seasons thanks to winning the FA Cup, now faces a new test.

The club made a significant investment of 214.5 million euros in signings during the summer, incorporating players like De Ligt, Leny Yoro, Mazroui, Ugarte, and Zirkzee, but the results have not been favorable. Particularly frustrating has been the situation of Leny Yoro, who has not been able to debut due to a foot injury. Faced with this lack of performance, Manchester United is already preparing its January market offensive, and the main target once again is Frenkie de Jong, a long-standing desire of Ten Hag since taking over at Old Trafford.

Manchester United wants to take advantage of Barcelona's economic difficulties

The Dutch midfielder from Barcelona has been crucial in Ten Hag's plans since his time at Ajax and is considered the piece that could transform the English team. As reported by Sport, despite De Jong's previous refusals, United will try to sign him again in January, taking advantage of Barcelona's financial difficulties, which could be forced to sell to ease their financial situation.

With contracts running until 2026 at both clubs, both De Jong and Ten Hag face decisive months. If the Dutchman fails to strengthen the team in the winter market and turn the club around, his continuity at Old Trafford would be at risk.
