Frenkie de Jong uninterested in Man United move as club is run ‘erratically’

In today’s world, it is vital to be part of a motivating and encouraging project in one’s life. Irrespective of the field, one can only push harder if his objectives match with the institution he represents.

Needless to say, the same tenet applies to the world of football. A player cannot perform at his optimal level if he is not committed to the project of his club. Unsurprisingly, that becomes the founding factor in any footballer’s transfer.

According to reports from Sky Sports, Frenkie de Jong does not want to join Manchester United because he ‘dislikes’ the city. Moreover, it is said that the Dutchman believes that the club is being run erratically.

That said, it is not surprising that the midfielder did not agree to personal terms with the Red Devils, even though United already have an agreement with Barça over a transfer.

Even though his former AFC Ajax manager Erik ten Hag wants him at Old Trafford, de Jong resonates more with Xavi’s project and is enjoying life in Catalonia.

From Barcelona’s point of view, de Jong’s sale seemed like an inevitable consequence of their spending spree this summer.

While Manchester United did indeed lead the race for a long time, Chelsea have come into the picture in recent days and are said to be preparing an offer.

And it has been claimed that the Netherlands international would not rule out a transfer to Chelsea, but he has no intention to join United.

The former Ajax star’s saga could see yet another defining point this week when Barcelona confirm the activation of their second economic lever. If the club manage to successfully generate the funds through the deal, it is said that they might not be compelled to sell de Jong.
