Erik ten Hag’s plans for Manchester United next season may have become clearer after Frenkie de Jong revealed his preferred role.
United are interested in bringing De Jong to Old Trafford this summer, with Ten Hag having identified him as an ideal target. The pair know each other well from their time together at Ajax, so the new United boss should know how to get the best out of the 25-year-old.
To remove any doubt for Ten Hag, De Jong has outlined his favourite position while out on international duty. The midfielder has made it clear he prefers his role with the Netherlands as opposed to the position he’s asked to fill at Barcelona.
