De Jong must become the first summer reinforcement of Erik ten Hag, who will not stop there. United already reported to Ajax for Antony, although the Brazilian wing striker seems to be too expensive and alternatives are being looked at up front. For the positions in the back, Ten Hag received a rejection from Jürrien Timber, which makes the coach seem to shift his attention to teammate Lisandro Martínez. Denzel Dumfries of Internazionale is in the picture to cover the right wing defensively.

Barcelona will benefit from a good sale of De Jong, as the Catalans must free up financial space for the arrival of Robert Lewandowski. The Polish striker has already agreed personally and has his sights set on a move to LaLiga, but is awaiting any sales. Frenkie de Jong is seen at United as an important pawn to return to a dominant and dictating style of play. “The supporters long for a group of players they can identify with,” he said Sky Sportsjournalist Jack Wilkinson.
