Frenkie de Jong has launched a stinging attack on the Barcelona board for allegedly leaking his contract details over the summer.
De Jong's contract details emerged over the summer amid reports the player's contract was not valid and that the Catalan giants would force him to take a pay cut. The news came amid Manchester United making a breakthrough in their attempts to sign the midfielder although no move came to fruition.
United boss Erik ten Hag coached the midfielder in Amsterdam and held a phone call this summer to convince the player to join his project at Old Trafford. United had an initial transfer fee agreed with Barca valued at £56.2million. Reports claimed the player had already cleared out his locker in Spain, but he ultimately he remained at the Camp Nou.
