Frenkie de Jong, the Dutch midfielder currently playing for FC Barcelona, recently made headlines when he stated that he has no plans to join Manchester United. The news was reported by Fabrizio Romano, a well-known journalist who specializes in football transfers and rumors.
De Jong, who joined Barcelona from Ajax in 2019, is widely regarded as one of the most promising midfielders in Europe. He has quickly established himself as a key player for both his club and the Netherlands national team, thanks to his excellent passing, dribbling, and defensive skills.
Despite his impressive performances, De Jong has been linked with a move away from Barcelona in recent months, with several Premier League clubs reportedly interested in his services. Manchester United, in particular, was said to be keen on signing the 25-year-old, who could add some much-needed creativity and energy to their midfield.
However, in an interview, De Jong made it clear that he is happy at Barcelona and has no intention of leaving anytime soon. “I don’t think I will join Manchester United,” he said. “I am happy here.”
