The job for the new United coach Erik ten Hag (52) is clearly defined: back to the top of the Premier League. He probably gets his dream star for that.

Mega deal with de Jong close!

Frenkie de Jong (25) and ten Hag will apparently be reunited soon. The two worked together in Amsterdam from 2017 to 2019 before the midfielder moved to FC Barcelona.

Now the Catalans urgently need money. Interest in Bayern star Robert Lewandowski (33) is well known.

According to “Sport”, Barcelona and Manchester now more or less agree on the fee. The “Red Devils” are paying 80 million euros for their new coach’s dream player. An expensive debut gift that puts both ten Hag and de Jong under pressure.

United don’t even remember the last championship. At that time, the coach was still the great Alex Ferguson (81). There’s no need to dream of the Champions League because United will only play in the Europa League next season.

The sporting meltdown for the English record champions.

According to the report, only the “Si” from de Jong is missing. That seems like a big hurdle. So far he had always emphasized that he would like to stay in Barcelona in principle. Does he just want to gamble a bit to get something out of the salary?

At Manchester, De Jong would follow in the footsteps of Paul Pogba or Nemanja Matic, both of whom have left the club. Maybe de Jong is hesitant because he doesn’t want to suffer the same fate as his friend Donny van de Beek (25).

Both played together in midfield in Amsterdam. Van de Beek joined Man United in 2020 but didn’t get along at all and was loaned to basement kid Everton last season.

Both were key players at Ajax in the 2018/19 season when the team surprisingly stormed into the semi-finals of the Champions League. Maybe ten Hag will get both of them in the form they were back then. Then the Champions League anthem could sound again at Old Trafford 2023/24.
