The signing of Frenkie de Jong by Manchester United would be "huge" for the club.
According to Luke Chadwick, a former Manchester United midfielder, his old team appears to be making headway on a deal for the Barcelona star.
According to Sky's Florian Plettenberg, the Red Devils are on the verge of signing De Jong, who might potentially be presented by the club this weekend...
Chadwick believes it is critical that United sign Erik ten Hag's key man, a player he knows well from their time together at Ajax.
"I believe that completing this transaction is critical for United. "It's critical for Ten Hag," Chadwick told CaughtOffside.
"It's obvious that De Jong is his first priority, and if he doesn't get him, where does he go from there?"
"I believe it is a statement signing - a big name with a long history and a lot of potential
." He'll most likely play in a deep role, as one of two in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Bruno Fernandes as the number 10.
"He gives the team something different, which could truly affect the way United plays." He has excellent technique, keeps the ball well, can play through the lines, and can get guys on the ball.
"I believe it gives United more choices than Fred and McTominay, who are both tireless workers but lack De Jong's talent on the ball." They're not the type of players who can manage a game by speeding it up or slowing it down when necessary, and that's exactly what has to happen.
"De Jong is the player United has been looking for all summer, so it has to happen." Getting him across the line makes a statement and allows Ten Hag to get the team playing in the way he had at Ajax."
