After being a constant topic of conversation among Manchester United's supporters since May, Frenkie de Jong finally gave his side of one of the longest transfer sagas in recent history earlier this week.
The Barcelona midfielder was Erik ten Hag's top target to strengthen his midfield options during the summer and United did all they could to try and ensure he got what he wanted. But despite agreeing a fee with Barcelona, following countless rounds of talks, they were unable to make a deal possible, leaving Ten Hag to look elsewhere for reinforcements.
De Jong, though, never had any desire to swap the Camp Nou for Old Trafford and recently admitted that he always wanted to stay in Spain. He stopped short of giving away too many details, but he made it crystal clear that he wasn't fussed about moving to Old Trafford.
