"Manchester United are reportedly among the clubs showing an interest in the potential transfer of Barcelona central midfielder Frenkie de Jong. The Netherlands international has shone during his time at Barca, but he's coming towards the end of his contract, potentially making him a free agent next summer. It seems Man Utd and others have been keen to take advantage of the situation, with Fichajes naming them and Bayern as two"
"De Jong ticks a lot of boxes for United he's a clear upgrade on what they currently have in midfield, he's still at his peak, and he would bring the experience and mentality of someone who's won a lot of major trophies. The 28-year-old might well favour someone like Bayern at the moment, however, as it's not yet clear what kind of situation United will be in by next summer."
"The Red Devils are not currently playing in any European competition, and it remains to be seen if they're realistically going to be in contention to do so next season. Bayern, by contrast, will almost certainly be in the Champions League again, and would be able to offer De Jong a realistic chance of winning major trophies. Having said that, if De Jong wants to ensure he starts games on a regular basis,"
Frenkie de Jong is nearing the end of his Barcelona contract and could become a free agent next summer. Manchester United and Bayern Munich have made informal contact, with Fichajes naming both clubs among those interested. De Jong is viewed as a clear midfield upgrade: still at his peak, experienced, and accustomed to winning major trophies. Bayern can guarantee Champions League football and stronger trophy prospects, while Manchester United can offer regular starts and a midfield built around him. United currently lack European football next season. Al Hilal midfielder Ruben Neves is also understood to be a United target.
