DEAL COMPLETED: Man United have agreed to sign £46.9m Midfielder, jersey number picked a player set to arrive soon for medical

Once again, for the third consecutive summer, this ongoing transfer controversy continues to trouble us, since it is evident that the player has no interest in becoming a part of the Man Utd enterprise. When will the club acquire knowledge?

Indeed, it is once again the time of the year. Frenkie de Jong is transferring to Manchester United. According to TDF, the Red Devils are making another attempt to capture the Dutch national player over the upcoming summer and are getting ready to provide about £42.9m to ensure his participation.

According to the source, the player’s condition for leaving is that he wants to get a salary comparable to what he now receives at Barcelona.

The 27-year-old presently receives an astonishing €1,109,808 per week under his current agreement with the Spanish club, which would equate to around £952,459 per week for Manchester United.

That pay is exorbitant and it would be challenging for Manchester United to financially accommodate his transfer to the club this summer. Given Frenkie’s prolonged absence due to an enigmatic ankle ailment, this move becomes even more illogical.

There is no question about Frenkie’s lineage or excellence, but he does not fulfil the requirements of Man Utd. Due to their lack of defensive aptitude, it is improbable that the 27-year-old and Kobbie Mainoo would effectively collaborate and provide cover for one another.

Moreover, it is quite improbable that Frenkie will consent to joining Manchester United in a season devoid of Champions League play. Regardless of his qualifications, Dan Ashworth & co. should not entertain the idea of hiring him at such a high salary.

We should definitively abandon the idea of pursuing Frenkie as a potential transfer. If a suitable opportunity arises upon the expiration of his contract in 2026, we can consider it. Until that point, it is necessary for us to concentrate on attainable objectives that will enhance the team rather than merely supplement it.
