The problem of Manchester United's midfield transformation is not a day or two, since the retirement of the old lord, Manchester United's transformation has not stopped.
Now Manchester United's back players are one of the youth-produced Scott McTominay, and the other two are Fred and Nemanja Matic, who were introduced during Mourinho's reign.
This is the three backs that Manchester United can play more now, and Manchester United is also deliberately transforming Van de Beek into a back, in the Champions League and youth games, Van de Beek changed to play the back, but due to one of his mistakes, the team lost the ball.
Since Lonnick took office, United's midfield performance has been remarkable, but reinforcements are inevitable. It is reported that Manchester United have taken a fancy to the financially affected Barcelona midfielder De Jong.
De Jong's father confirmed that de Jong's top five clubs have asked about De Jong, including Bayern and Manchester United.
But De Jong's father hinted that his son could not leave the warm sunshine and that the cold weather was not suitable for De Jong's life.
The biggest factor hindering De Jong's move to Manchester United turned out to be cold weather. De Jong's father said: "The weather there is often bad, which is very important. I know Barcelona need money and de Jong's move could help the club, but I don't think that's going to happen any time soon."
Previously, according to rumors, Manchester United bid 47 million pounds for De Jong. Well-known transfer expert Romano also claimed negotiations were underway.
However, the willingness of the players plays a key role in the transfer. The wet and cold weather in the UK requires a pot that Manchester United can't buy de Jong.
The reason why Manchester United love De Jong so much is because he is seen by Manchester United as the successor of legendary player Scholes.
In Lonnick's 4222 system, an offensive and defensive hub like De Jong's midfield will be critical. He has the same passing ability as Scholes, and in Lonnick's tactical system, forward threatening passes are very important.
In addition, De Jong's defensive ability can improve the hardness of United's back position. His addition could balance United's attacking and defensive capabilities. These are the abilities that United need most and need most urgently after Scholes left.
