I would like to hope he does, still if De Jong has a choice between us and a club higher up say Liverpool, City or even from another league why choose us? It's the dangers of being outside of the top 4.

But does he have that concrete choice of City or Liverpool?You'll be throwing Munich and PSG in the mix next.....
From what I can see, we are A SERIOUS interested party and we can offer him great wages and leading role in this exciting new project under a manager he has enjoyed success with previously....not sure why people undermine the pull of our club, bad times currently yes, but we are still a huge club with a big pull
Sorry, but this is bullshit.
Makes me think that the DeJong stuff is equally bullshit.
Does he have that choice, are any of those other clubs pursuing him? Or are just making stuff up to suit a United are rubbish agenda?
Well that’s that cleared up then. Cheers
This is how I see it too. We are trying to sell a new 'project' as much as I hate that word when it pertains to football.
If City, Chelsea, PSG and now Newcastle can attract star players then so can we. We are still Man Utd, we still pay competitive wages, and we have just hired arguably the most exciting coach in football not managing Bayern, City or Liverpool.
De Jong if we could pull it off might just be a massive domino for us. Suddenly, De Ligt or Pau Torres fancies the move. Maybe Tchouameni looks at it and says I'd make a bloody good midfield playing alongside De Jong and Bruno.
It's not really, they're both very obtainable from their respective clubs and reliable players for the new manager. They cover positions we 100% need and should provide him with a core of players who will get his training, style of play, whilst improving the first team.
We are being linked with every decent Dutch player in the World.
All any twat of a journalist has to do is ask Ten Hag what he thinks of a player who is really good, Ten Hag is bound to say, yes that player is really good. A story comes out that he wants that player at United.
Don't you know how transfer rumours work? It's 99.9% bullshit, 0.1% fact.
The FDJ stuff seems to be different and from a solid source.
Who's United are rubbish agenda would that be?
They were just cherry picked names, the point remains, from reports he wants a club with UCL football, that's not us. If we are the only club involved in acquiring him great BUT if a club with UCL football steps in as a competitor for his signature it doesn't look good for us.
This one is funny because I started a DeLigt rumour this morning and this has appeared a few hours later
To someone with nothing invested in the story it looks like his agent or even Barca links him to a team with deep pockets to see if the players wants to move. If he mentions he would move buy he wants UCL, it could get other teams interested. They use Man Utd knowing your club would pay that much for a top player.
So you're saying you're ITK? Who are we going for next?This one is funny because I started a DeLigt rumour this morning and this has appeared a few hours later
The situation in Barcelona:
Toni Juanmartí adds that Barcelona's in search of a big offer for Frenkie de Jong.
EDIT: English Tweet
Final bit of additional info for now:
Summary:
On the City links, Ducker did state that, whilst City were interested in the past, they are currently not interested in bringing him in this summer. This may just be City keeping an eye on him for the future unless something drastic comes up.

He'll be a decent budget addition to the team and will offer them something different, and I guess with Schlotterbeck coming in, they can afford to let Akanji go, too.
Exclude Sterling to United given his Liverpool history and, of course, City's unwillingness to sell their players to us.
Bayern probably, who will fail in their pursuit of Salah
Let him stay then, we don’t need players that think playing for Manchester United is beneath them.
- Moyes wants a left-sided CB hence the interest in Aguerd.
- West Ham will make a stronger push than last summer for Aguerd.
- £20m might be enough to purchase him.
- Other CBs that West Ham have looked at:
- Sven Botman (unlikely due to links to bigger clubs)
- Joe Worrall
- James Tarkowski
- Other clubs are further ahead.
- West Ham prefer a younger CB (Tarkowski's 29).

The full quotes:
Looks like the midfield will be a priority for the team this summer. It's good to see that ten Hag wants two midfielders in. Us getting started this soon is a good sign for our future prospects.
Agreed.
He surely knows that we need a lot of work and would like to transfer to be done quickly
Sounds like..

About £180m, sell the host of fringe players for about £50m combined.
I wonder if he'll use Donny as a wide right midfielder, seeing as Donny likes to pass and move into the right wing at every opportunity.
He'll no doubt want to improve on our full backs too.
Looking like this will be a multi-saga summer.
