Underneath-fire Manchester United supervisor Erik ten Hag desires to strengthen his midfield part in January and to that finish, in keeping with Sport, he’s put the title of Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong on the desk.
Ten Hag’s job at United is beneath critical menace. He survived on the finish of final season largely because of his crew beating Manchester Metropolis within the FA Cup ultimate, however the 20-time English champions now sit in 14th place within the Premier League desk with meagre eight factors from seven matches. It appears the 54-year-old is unwilling to attend for subsequent summer season to spice up his ranks and attempt to enhance United’s kind and outcomes.
United paid round £200 million to signal Matthijs de Ligt, Manuel Ugarte, Noussair Mazraoui and Joshua Zirkzee forward of this season, and the signings are but to make correct influence on the pitch.
In the meantime, De Jong, 27, made his first La Liga look in Barcelona’s 3-0 overcome Alaves earlier than the worldwide break this month, having recovered from an ankle damage.
