The likelihood of Frenkie de Jong and Cristiano Ronaldo sharing a dressing room next season appears to be growing, which is welcome news for Manchester United fans, especially as the former thinks the latter is a "top player".
Manchester United are rumoured to have finally agreed a fee with Barcelona for the Dutchman's services, with the figure thought to be £65million with add-ons. The two teams have been in negotiations ever since the window opened earlier this month and it has taken some effort to finally reach this point.
New manager Erik ten Hag is a driving force in United's interest, given he coached De Jong at Ajax and oversaw some of the best form of the midfielder's career in the Dutch capital. The Red Devils boss harbours aspirations of building his entire midfield around the Netherlands international.
