After weeks of frustration, Manchester United finally made some breakthroughs in the summer transfer window on Tuesday.
The news that United have finally agreed an initial fee of £56million with Barcelona for their midfielder Frenkie De Jong was music to the ears of the club’s supporters. The fact it was followed by reports that they had also sealed a £14m deal to land Feyenoord defender Tyrell Malacia made it a fantastic day for the club.
De Jong is undoubtedly the most exciting and important arrival of the two. The Dutch midfielder was earmarked as Erik ten Hag’s priority in the off-season and will go a long way to filling the hole created by the departures of Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic.
