Frenkie de Jong has been convinced that his future lies with Manchester United after Erik ten Hag launched an irresistible charm offensive on the Dutch midfielder.
De Jong, 25, informed Barcelona that he had no intention of moving to Old Trafford when the Catalan club informed United they were willing to do business last month.
But Ten Hag’s first test as United boss was to persuade his former Ajax playmaker that he can realise his full potential with the Reds - and he passed the challenge with flying colours.
