The partner of Frenkie de Jong, Mikky Kiemeney, has joked about the date Frenkie de Jong will ‘arrive’ at Manchester United.
The Barcelona midfielder was Erik ten Hag’s top summer target last year but a long chase for the playmaker was ultimately made in vain as the player stayed at the Nou Camp. The Manchester Evening News understands United are still open to bringing the 25-year-old to Old Trafford.
De Jong is set to face the Reds this month when they battle Barcelona in their Europa League knock-out play-off tie. United visit the Nou Camp first on February 16 before the return leg on home soil a week later.
