In the summer transfer window of this year, MANCHESTER UNITED were able to acquired Christian Eriksen to the midfield of the team. Frenkie de Jong will likely be Manchester United's top target again next summer after they have been trying so hard to get him this last summer and they were unable to meet the target.. However, Youri Tielemans would be a fantastic replacement for the Netherlands international, particularly since he would be eligible for a free transfer. Replicating the technique would make sense for the Old Trafford powerhouse after the Red Devils acquired Christian Eriksen for nothing earlier this season.
De Jong who is a 25years old young guy, had a good relationship with Ten Hag, which gave Manchester United confidence to pursue a move for him throughout the most of the summer transfer season but it eventually went without no deal been sealed.
Even though the Netherlands international's initial market value was estimated to be £63 million, the Red Devils were able to reach an agreement on a transfer fee with Barcelona, but United ultimately fell short, through all this process.
De Jong, who grew up playing for Catalan giants Barcelona football club, has always preferred to remain there due to some specific reasons. He also believes that now is the right time for them, after a memorable summer that saw them sign players like Franck Kessie, Andreas Christensen, Raphinha, Jules Kounde, and Robert Lewandowski. These players are ones that are also awesome to play with and have a team with..
The former Ajax star's refusal to play a season in the Europa League instead was also a factor, because his mindset and desire was to play the Champions League games. But United's chase of De Jong is far from over and considering the fact that Manchester United are not on the champions League competition, it's a bit hard for the chase..
They want to make an attempt to sign the Dutch international in upcoming transfer windows as well with high hopes that he would consider Manchester United offer, given Ten Hag's desire to reunite with his former Ajax student and I think that will be a great one for on the United's side.
There is, however, no assurance that United will be more prosperous in 2023 than they were this summer. Let's hope and see what comes after this first round of the competition..
