Manchester United are reportedly open to trying again to sign summer transfer window target Frenkie de Jong as Erik ten Hag remains a big fan of the Barcelona midfielder.
The Dutch international shone in his time at Barca and had a fine World Cup with the Dutch national team, and Ten Hag reportedly remains convinced he would be a perfect fit for his Red Devils team, according to the Times.
De Jong came under heavy attack from Man Utd over the summer, with the report noting that the club saw offers of up to €70m who failed to close a deal at the time.
Still, that doesn’t appear to have deterred United, and they would surely do well to bring in De Jong to strengthen their midfield in the second half of the season.

Casemiro and Christian Eriksen moved to Old Trafford in the summer, but it hasn’t been the best first half of the season so there could be room for De Jong as well.
Ten Hag surely needs to rebuild his squad after the inconsistent form of the likes of Fred and Scott McTominay of late.
