Erik ten Hag may be able to use a secret weapon as he bids to convince top target Frenkie de Jong to move to Manchester United from Barcelona.
United are thought to have agreed a fee with the La Liga giants for the Dutch midfielder, with Barca keen to free up funds for their own overhaul. De Jong quickly became Ten Hag's primary target, with midfield one of the biggest areas of weakness in United's squad.
While Barca are ready to sell him and are even reportedly close to agreeing a fee with the Red Devils, De Jong has been much less keen to make the switch. But though De Jong is not currently keen to leave Barca for United, Ten Hag may be able to use two of his United players to convince him otherwise.
