Breaking news:Manchester United prepared to offer Alex Telles and Marcus Rashford in swap deal for Barcelona superstar ,Ten hag priority signing.
Manchester United are reportedly prepared
to offer Marcus Rashford and Alex Telles
in exchange for Barcelona midfielder
Frenkie de Jong. Erik ten Hag has been
confirmed as the Red Devils' new manager
and his arrival is set to coincide with
a huge overhaul of the squad at Old Trafford.
The Dutch coach is set to ring the changes
and is reportedly targeting one of his former
Ajax players this summer. De Jong, 24,
played under Ten Hag for two years at the
Amsterdam giants, developing into one
of Europe's most promising young midfielders
during that time.
According to Fichajes.net, Barcelona
will listen to offers for the Dutch midfielder
upwards of £72 million. United are weighing
up their options and could offer Rashford
and Telles as makeweights in a deal
to bring De Jong to the Premier League
in order to save money on a fee.
Notably, De Jong was a part of the Ten
Hag-coached Ajax team which went till
the semi-finals of the 2019 Champions
League. The 24-year-old also won the
Eredivisie title and the KNVB Cup in
the same year under the manager.
Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong the
perfect midfielder to kickstart
Erik ten Hag's Manchester United
revolution
Manchester United are already set to lose
two of their established central midfielders
. Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic are departing
Manchester United with their contracts
expiring.
It paves the way for Erik ten Hag to come
in and begin work on overhauling the
squad with a midfield signing a necessity
. And who better than Frenkie de Jong
for the role.
The Dutch midfielder played 78 times
under Ten Hag for Ajax, scoring four goals
and contributing 13 assists. The pair's
past relationship bodes well for what
could be an astute signing for the Red
Devils if they can strike a deal for
the Dutchman.
Barcelona may have reservations over
bringing in both Rashford and Telles.
Neither has had seasons befitting him
to be a starter at Barca, with the English
forward having perhaps the worst campaign
of his career.
The Brazilian left-back is Luke Shaw's
understudy and hasn't wrapped himself
up in glory this season.
But financial complications at the Nou
Camp mean Barca need to be tactile with
their transfer operations. Perhaps they
will see the chance to grab two players
for the price of one too hard to turn down.
One thing is clear: Manchester United
need a massive overhaul to go back to
glory days again.
