He definitely is, yeah.
I’m glad that we’re seeing reliable journos rubbish the ‘he doesn’t want to come’ nonsense.
We wouldn’t be this far down the road without clear indications from the players side

Like clockwork the Spanish press will see this and report ”he hates Manchester, doesn’t want to go there, he’d prefer to play in the Chinese third division”.
Any report of him being interested must met with a “bollocks, feck off you Northern English pigs”.

He lives in Barca (I think) but is a United fan, and he is very straight talking. He’s not one for dressing stuff up or sensationalising news - and he won’t say stuff if he isn’t sure of his info.
It's likely literal, there is no available player that can provide what De Jong brings. Now it's not impossible that the club move to a different position to upgrade, like the player supposed to start next to De Jong.
They assume that she's still reporting about Liverpool when it's clear by now that her main focus has shifted to Manchester United.
He grew up idolising Paul Dickov and has the DVD of the play off win over Gillingham.
Walk away.
I got in trouble in the past but Mitten has sources but his sources have agendas and narratives to share.
Doesn't look unhappy but then again maybe that's just him playing the game quite literally
The smile of a man who is set to earn €90m over the next four years.
Has anyone discussed his deferred wages in the last 20 pages?
What about sloth from goonies? Or even the hunchback of Notre Dame?

Most sources do to be fair, but I feel on the whole Andy does a good job of balancing what’s he reports and the way he reports it.
Someone with a lot of time on their hands should go back on FdJ's timeline and check his "pre season post" from last year.
I bet he sounded more excited.
Let us know what you find…..
Anyone willing to take a bet on when Sport will release something saying that de Jong has once again reiterated that he has no intention of joining United and he wants to stay at Barca.
Soon they'll be moving on to de Jong had put ten Hags number on his blocked callers list and refuses to return his texts.
Finally they'll release one last tweet "de Jong files restraining order on ten Hag"

Wow. Never looked at it this way...
The club has no choice to continue to gamble on this transfer as we obviously have no alternatives and Ten Hag sees him as crucial to the system he wants to play.
Obviously Ten Hag will have much better insight into Frenkie's character and personality but for me he doesn't strike me as someone willing to slum it with what he considers a lesser team in a crap city (not my opinion).
If he comes I imagine it won't be long until he's pushing for a move because he and wifey are fed up of the rain, restaurants, lack of blonde people, lack of beach etc.
I'd hoped we'd moved on from handing millions to someone to come and insult our club and city while phoning in performances but hey ho gotta trust ETH on this one.

Not since page 121! Sloth gave me nightmares, btw
Quite a few articles linking us to Teilemans. The muppetry is weak at Old Trafford.
Wait until he's getting slapped around the head by McTominay.
It’s reported that ETH has called him everyday for the past 3 months about this deal so you can see why Frenkie may be tempted by that!
off to Arsenal.
It looks like FDJ or Eriksen/Garner/ Hannibal till we get FDJ
I'm an instigator. Well known for my lack of follow through.
It will be McFred
Do you feel like the quotes of him that have been posted here reveal any information about Barca's, or De Jong's side of the story?
Who needs a plan B when your plan A is on schedule.
Not denying they're likely more aligned with Uniteds side, but don't think he's completely unaware what's going on
He doesn't balance a thing which is an issue.
Fair enough
I mean, he just wants him to feel loved, a feeling thats been lost at Barcelona
Or annoyed as feck,imagine the same phone call everyday for 3 months.
de Jong probably has an automated call taker now with phrases pre recorded so he doesn't even have to bother taking the calls anymore
It will be IqFred
Plot twist
Frenkie sold phone to his stoner mate last year, and now Ten Hag has assurances Freddie De bin bag wants to play at Old Trafford. On fifa of course.
Frenkie stays at Bollywood.

He's highlighted the following that is coming from Barcelona's side more so than United's:
- Barcelona were hoping for other suitors to get involved to increase the competition.
- Barcelona communicated to de Jong that they've come to a full agreement on the transfer with United.
- A quote from a senior Barcelona official six weeks ago regarding Frenkie's situation
- Status
