Frenkie de Jong has admitted he wants to stay at Barcelona for "many years", all but ending any faint hopes Manchester United may have still harboured in signing the Dutchman.
The Red Devils have been linked with a move for the midfield maestro ever since Erik ten Hag was handed the reins at Old Trafford, with the United boss incredibly familiar with De Jong's game from the pair's shared time at Ajax. However, a deal failed to materialise last summer despite the two parties agreeing a transfer fee.
Fast forward to the present day and the idea of De Jong donning the United shirt could not feel further away after his latest comments regarding his future at Barcelona. The 25-year-old has made it crystal clear where he sees himself playing in the years to come.
