Despite the decline from the player, the United board are confident of signing de Jong and will try to make contact in the next window. However, time and again de Jong has clearly declined a move away from Camp Nou, and yet again after the El Clasico game, de Jong had the same stance.
Frenkie de Jong once again started in the midfield for Barcelona, this time against arch-rivals Real Madrid. This was his 24th appearance in 26 games in La Liga. After playing full 90 mins and helping his team to the victory, de Jong was asked about his stance on the transfer, “You won’t join Manchester United in the summer, correct .”
To this, he said, “No, I don’t think so. You never know of course. But I’m very happy in Barcelona.”
Barcelona have the pressure to cut the wages of the player in order to avoid the FFP breach. Manchester United’s interest in de Jong and hefty wage put him always on the transfer window. However, de Jong always has the same say, that is, he wants to play longer at Barcelona.

Eriksen’s injury forced United to sign a player in the last minute of the transfer window. On the other hand, Casemiro has missed 7 games due to red cards and Fred has always been questioned for his inconsistency. To tackle all this, United need a long-term replacement and de Jong will be a good fit for that. Both Ten Hag and de Jong know their play style and how things work for their team. And this is because United are still keen on signing the 25-year-old midfielder.
