The Dutchman's future is on the line at Barcelona and he could head to Old Trafford

Frenkie de Jong seems increasingly close to a departure. Man United’s interest has grown and Barcelona are negotiating with them. In his homeland, his future is a hot topic. Rafael van der Vaart, now a commentator on Ziggo Zport Voetbal, spoke about it.

“If I was Frenkie, I would go to Manchester United,” said the Dutchman. He also referred to the Red Devils’ new coach. “There he has a coach who knows exactly what he can and cannot do.

“There are players at Barcelona that can do the same and maybe be better than him or they have performed more. While they are there, he is out of place at Barcelona. At United, he could play more like with the Dutch national team. There he is the only one of his kind.”
