Stam urges Man Utd board to back Ten Hag as rebuild begins
Erik ten Hag is willing to personally push for the signing of Frenkie de Jong at Manchester United, it has been claimed. The Barcelona star is on the Red Devils’ radar as the summer transfer window nears. And, now, a blockbuster move to Old Trafford could be on the cards.
Manchester United are primed to splash the cash this summer as they target Premier League title glory under Ten Hag at the first time of asking.
And De Jong seems to be in their sights as a result.
The Dutchman previously played under Ten Hag at Ajax, helping the Eredivisie outfit reach the semi-finals of the Champions League three years ago.
And transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has claimed that while Champions League football is the midfielder’s priority, Ten Hag is willing to ‘push’ for his arrival.
“Frenkie de Jong situation. There has been contact with Manchester United, yes - but sources say there's no full/close agreement with Barcelona, as of today,” he said on Twitter.
“Barca financial situation could affect Frenkie's future - his priority is UCL football.
