Frenkie de Jong has been a Manchester United transfer target for quite some time now after he snubbed the chance to join the Old Trafford club last summer to remain at Barcelona.
The Red Devils turned their attention to Casemiro instead, snapping up the Brazilian in a big-money transfer from Real Madrid - and it was a move that caught the eye of the in-demand Netherlands international.
Back in August, De Jong reacted on Instagram to the news that Casemiro had signed for Man United by 'liking' footage of the midfielder arriving at Old Trafford. His social media activity had many believing he likes the idea of one day signing for the Red Devils, despite the fact he failed to do so in January.
