Frenkie de Jong has been linked to a move to Manchester United this summer. With Erik ten Hag now the manager at Old Trafford would a move away from Barcelona tempt the former Ajax midfielder?
JJ Bull looks at how De Jong could fit in tactically with ten Hag’s United.

De jong ability to glide across the midfield is insane being a Barca fan it it will be sad for him to go because the amount of times he comes on from the bench during Frankfurt first leg and so many other games and he just changes everything he is always on ball and he's very intelligent if Manchester United managed to get him he will be surely one of the best players in their squad regardless I wish him all the best but I hope he stays with us

If united only sign two players this summer it has to be two quality central midfielders we haven't had anyone it that position that performs at a high level consistently since Carrick retired. Quality central midfielders relieve pressure on the center backs , dominate possession, act as a line of supply for the attacking players, and set a tempo for the rest of the team. All things United have been crap at for long long time.

De Jong solves a lot of midfield issues. And I wonder with potential vitinha signing, if Ten Haag is prioritising deep playmakers over ball winners as he wants to see if he can put Fred or Mctominay in those roles. The lack of ability to press from the front will still be an issue if he plans to play Ronaldo, Sancho, Bruno + a RW. Difficult to solve without replacing a big name.

Reminds me of Busquets, but perhaps a little better at going forward? SB was (is) one of the best as a 6. Turning a defender or two and distributing forward. Seems like De Jong can do that but make those runs as an 8 would. They also need to get Maguire and Dalot out of there, but that's just me.

@Real Alpha Busquets is probably one of the best holding midfielders, ever. Anybody that was going to play a similar role was always going to be compared to him, and have a tough time filling his shoes. De Jong is still probably one of the best around right now, but off the top of my head, I can't think of many players that are 25 years old that are as good as Busquets was at that age.

No. The fact that he flopped at BARCA, played under numerous managers and STILL hasn’t forced Busquets to retire is insane. He’s not a world beater, like he was meant to be. People are still talking about his Ajax days. Hes a rich man’s Pogba, he “glides on the ball” etc but ppl STILL dont know what’s his best position. Its 2022. And he’s one of Barca’s highest earners. Plus, It’s not like the EPL is any easier than La Liga, it’s harder. Not to mention United need a proper 6. A destroyer, a ball winner who’s ALSO good on the ball. Someone like a Rodri mixed with Tchouameni. But I hope they pay that amount of cash and continue declining.

Everyone is talking about how good is he at possession but does he have the experience playing with Maguire who will create calamity with dangerous back passes/will opt to make passes himself OR played with Fred who will shadow him instead of making himself available for passes OR AWB who lost his defensive capability so FDJ needs to cover like Henderson. A player is good but let's not forget the system he is being placed at. He is currently not the first piece that you want in a team but rather a cherry to make everything ticks in the end

I watch almost all Barca games, but can't say the same for Utd. The rare occasions, when Busquets wasn't there and FDJ had to play the single pivot, the whole team struggled. He's still little a raw in the defensive side. Also, being a big enough man he should have physically dominated the most midfields in La Liga (Gavi does that despite being half his size and six/seven years junior). His technical quality is beyond doubt, but maybe he's just too nice of a guy to battle it out. Even Koeman didn't trust his to be the sole pivot.

I think that the issue with Man Utd is Fernandes and Ronaldo. They're very talented footballers and the best players in the team that suit a less structured and process orientated team, but everyone else in the team is better in a highly structured and systematic setup. So what action do Man Utd take to solve this problem? They hire Rangnick, the father of modern pressing systems who loves a highly structured team, which doesn't work. They realise they made a mistake and replace him with ... Eric ten Hag, another coach with a penchant for structure. I'm not convinced buying a de Jong and a RB will solve United's problems, but I am just some guy on the internet getting wound up by things I don't really know much about. Anyway, nice video.

De Jong would be a great replacement for Pogba. Probably more reliable if not as mercurial a talent. Driving from deep and swapping passes with dVDB or Fernandes should create loads for Ronaldo, Sancho +1. Issue is still a proper shielding 6, cause Fred & McTominay are more in the box to box busy mode rather than reliably breaking up attacks. They're good alternate options, but we need an Ndidi, Kante or Brozovic. Plus something else in attack (Eriksen looks likely), a new right back that can cross and probably a new CB.

Nice video. I'll like to see Maguire not in a 2 man defense as high lines wont be possible with him.

It sounds like finding payers that can all work together is going to be a problem. Will Ten Hag be a strong enough manager to pull 'star' players like Fernandes off & give Van De Beek minutes? Or choose not to start Fernandes or Ronaldo in certain games if it doesn't fit the tactic?

Actually data can lie if it's manipulated incorrectly. Or if no context is applied to said data. If I score 100 goals in my Sunday league season off of an insane xg it doesn't mean I'm the best player in the world though the data will say thay

Getting De Jong would be a good move, but United still need an out and out defensive midfielder who does the dirty work. De Jong and Pogba's playstyles are overlapping, and everyone's grandmother knows why Pogba didn't work consistently at United.

Frenkie plays VERY MUCH to the sides and backwards. Spanish and Dutch media are eating him alive for it. Funny that you'll say that about Fred and Mctominay but not about Frenkie. Barca fans aren't even stressing the fact he's leaving. 17 year old Gavi, 18 (or 19) year old Pedri and 34 year old Busquets are better players. Kessie probably coming in on a free and Pablo Torre as well. Frenkie won't even be missed.
