Frenkie de Jong has admitted there was "pressure" put on him to leave Barcelona for Manchester United in the summer.
The Dutchman was strongly linked with a switch to Old Trafford during the most recent window with claims that the Catalan giants were keen to sell in order to alleviate their financial woes.
In the end, despite the Red Devils reaching an agreement over a big-money fee for the ex-Ajax star, a move did not come to fruition. De Jong wasn’t convinced of a switch with United in the end electing to make a move for R eal Madrid ’s Casemiro in a £70m switch.
