Manchester United fans bombarded Frenkie de Jong with messages to make the move to Old Trafford as the midfielder posted a snap from his holiday.
United’s pursuit of De Jong continues as they remain in talks with Barcelona. Various reports have speculated on the status of a potential move to United, but as of yet, little progress appears to have been made.
The two clubs are still a fair way apart in their respective valuations of the player, with a compromise needed from at least one side if a move is to happen. United are willing to walk away from the deal and consider other targets, should they be left frustrated in their attempts at striking a deal with their Catalan counterparts.

De Jong, though, is one of Erik ten Hag’s main targets this summer, with the new United boss eager to reunite with his former Ajax protégé. And the club’s supporters are doing all they can to try and convince De Jong of a move to Old Trafford.
The midfielder has voiced his desire to stay at the Nou Camp, although the decision may be taken out of his hands with Barcelona facing financial difficulties. As he takes some time away though, speculation over his future continues to follow him.
De Jong posted a picture to Instagram of himself with his partner in Las Vegas as he enjoys his holiday before reporting back to work with Barca. United fans didn’t miss the opportunity to try and lure him to the Premier League as they hijacked the post.
Plenty of supporters sent “Welcome to Manchester” posts to the midfielder, while others pleaded with him to make the move to United. Barcelona fans also did their bit, imploring De Jong to stay put at the Nou Camp.
The two sides will hope to have a decision soon, with pre-season looming as the 2022/23 campaign arrives on the horizon. United’s players will report back to work next week, when Ten Hag will hope he can introduce his new squad to De Jong for the forthcoming season.
