Manchester United transfer target Frenkie de Jong has revealed that he was urged to join Liverpool after he arrived in Qatar for the World Cup.
United heavily pursued a deal for De Jong over the course of the summer, as the transfer saga dominated the headlines. Erik ten Hag was eager to reunite with his former Ajax player at Old Trafford, yet a deal failed to materialise.
Barcelona and United even got as far as agreeing terms for the midfielder, but little progress was made following the early breakthrough in negotiations.
