History has a case of repeating itself, and United fans will hope it does soon. The club is yearning to reach their former heights having not won a trophy in five years and they know that in order to re-climb the mountain, quality personnel need to be brought in.
Many see Frenkie de Jong as someone who falls into that category. A deal in principle has been agreed for the player, but United are yet to get a transfer over the line.
Barcelona owe the player £17m in wages but maybe more significantly, De Jong wishes to stay at the Nou Camp regardless if given the choice. Amid his club’s huge debts, he may not get an option, but some see his intentions as a snub against United anyway.
