Frenkie de Jong's dad has already explained why Man Utd will miss out on signing his son

Frenkie De Jong's father has claimed the poor weather conditions in England would count against Manchester United in their transfer pursuit.

The Red Devils are reportedly keen on the Dutchman ahead of their summer recruitment drive, which will be headed by new boss Erik ten Hag. De Jong worked with the current Ajax coach when he was coming through the ranks in Amsterdam and remains highly rated.

Central midfield is an area in which United need to bolster their options ahead of several key departures this term. De Jong has been identified as a candidate, according to Diario Sport, who claim Ten Hag is hoping he can convince his former player to join him in the Premier League.
