It's no secret that Manchester United's new boss, Tenhag, loves De Jong. However, Barca are not ready to let go of De Jong easily, and in this case, Manchester United have begun to pay for it. United are ready to add Marguire, Marcus Rashford and others to the trade, hoping to persuade Barca to release them. Barca don't seem to be interested in the two, though, preferring McTominay and Erlanga to Maguire and Rashford. Without further ado, let's take a look at what the situation looks like!
Recently, Gerard Romero reported that Tenhag named de Jong, who hoped to get Barca's De Jong, and Manchester United recommended Telles, Maguire and Rashford to Barca, who hoped to exchange one of them plus part of the cash for De Jong. However, Barca informed United that they were more interested in Mike Jr. and Erlanga. After all, the performances of the likes of Rashford and Maguire are worrying, and Barca will not risk signing them. Moreover, De Jong does not seem to be interested in Manchester United because he wants to play in the Champions League.
Of course, personally, I think it is absolutely true that Manchester United want to sign De Jong, after all, Tenhag admires De Jong very much, and once he signs De Jong, he can copy the midfield combination of De Jong and Van de Beek, who made Ajax into the Champions League final four, and for such a midfield combination, only a defensive back is needed. However, once this is true, the position of the B fee may be a bit awkward, after all, under the system of Tenhag at that time, there seems to be no B fee position.
From the current situation, I personally believe that both Manchester United and Barca need a large-scale renewal of the squad this summer. For Manchester United, the team's backline and midfield need to be revamped, and Barca is the same, the team's midfield and backline are not very good. And the two teams want to complete the transformation is not small. At present, Manchester United have been rebuilding for 9 years. Barca has just begun rebuilding this year. I just don't know in this case, who of the two teams can take the lead in completing the reconstruction and returning to the top?
