Frenkie de Jong was due to join Manchester United from FC Barcelona this summer. But while the clubs are already in agreement, the Dutchman is opposed and refuses to change.
List of reasons why de Jong doesn’t want to go to ManUnited: According to Spanish media reports, Frenkie de Jong should categorically rule out a move to Manchester United. The curious thing: In order to emphasize his decision, the 25-year-old presented a list of ten reasons against a transfer to United, which is also reported by “Sport1”.
Short, compact, clear
ManUnited a “sporting step backwards”: According to the newspaper “Diario Sport”, the sporting step backwards that a change would entail is at the top of de Jong’s list. Barcelona will play in the Champions League next season, ManUnited again not. In addition, it was his dream as a child to one day play for FC Barcelona, where he wants to stay.
Salary and house as further reasons: It should also not be neglected that the ex-Ajax player receives a princely salary from the Catalans. If he were to move to England, he would probably have to accept losses. In addition, he and his wife are said to have recently bought a house near Barcelona.
