Frenkie de Jong 'disgusted' by Barcelona situation as Man Utd maintain transfer interest

Frenkie de Jong reportedly feels 'disgusted' by his treatment at Barcelona, while Manchester United retain an interest in signing him.

In a serious case of deja vu, the 25-year-old midfielder continues to feel mistreated by his current club and United boss Erik ten Hag is keen to reunite with him at Old Trafford. De Jong rejected the chance to sign for the Red Devils during the summer transfer window, despite the two clubs coming to a £63million agreement in July.

Fending off pressure from Camp Nou chiefs to leave and help remedy the La Liga side's well-document financial woes, the Dutch playmaker got his wish of staying in Catalunya. De Jong believed that manager Xavi Hernandez would install him as a pillar of Barcelona's team for the 2021-22 season - but it hasn't turned out that way.
