United remain keen on De Jong. According to the Mirror, Manchester United boss Ten Haag is still interested in signing Barcelona midfielder Frenki De Jong. The 25-year-old Dutch international was considered by his Dutch coach Louis van Gaal to be physically fit and needed to actively improve muscles' ability to fight through fitness, and the newspaper believes Ten Haag hopes to buy him in January 2023.
Opinion: Ten Haag arrived at Old Trafford and was a bit disappointed with the physical condition of many of his players. They have long struggled to match their opponents in endurance and strength, and it's unclear whether the Dutch boss will be able to fundamentally change that, so if De Jong hasn't improved and improved in this area by then, he may not be the target for January.
