Rio Ferdinand has no doubt Frenkie de Jong would be a "good addition" to the Manchester United squad if the Barcelona midfielder seals a transfer which would reunite him with his former manager, Erik ten Hag.
De Jong, who turned 25 on Thursday, has emerged as a summer target for the Red Devils and Barca are believed to be open to selling the Dutch international. Ten Hag will take the reins at Old Trafford ahead of next season and he knows the player well from their one-and-a-half years together at Ajax between 2017 and 2019, during which they won the league-cup double.
De Jong has previously gone on record to insist he is "very happy" at Camp Nou, where he remains under contract until 2026. However, his head could be turned by the prospect of joining forces with Ten Hag once again, and Ferdinand has given his endorsement to the potential marquee signing.
