Manchester United told why they sign Declan Rice instead of Frenkie de Jong

Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has urged the Reds to push for Declan Rice's signature over Frenkie de Jong.

The Barcelona midfielder has become a player of interest for United as the financial problems at the Camp Nou continue. Earlier this month, the Manchester Evening News reported that the 20-time champions were weighing up a move for De Jong ahead of a potential reunion with former manager Erik ten Hag.

After their dismal 2021-22 campaign, United's midfield has been just one of the positions that have faced criticism.
