Manchester United have been accused of chasing blockbuster names and have been reluctant to sign players with the right mentality. This has led to a poor recruitment policy and has contributed to United’s descent down the domestic pecking order. The club has since received advice from former player Mikael Silvestre, who was part of the infamous treble-winning team. The Norwegian has called on the club to learn its lessons and chase players with the right mentality. Hopefully the club will learn their lesson and stop chasing players with the wrong mentality.
De Jong has been linked with Manchester United and Barcelona, but is not keen on a move to the club because of two players. The striker has been linked with Old Trafford due to interest in joining the Premier League. But the Netherlands international’s move has been hampered by a series of controversies, with a recent report claiming he is adamant he is not interested in joining Man Utd because of the two players.
The Belgian defender recently got engaged in Spain and has been dreaming of playing for the club ever since he was a kid. De Jong has developed a close bond with his fiancé, Mikky Kiemeney, and the new owners of the club, Todd Boehly. If De Jong leaves Manchester United, he may even leave Barcelona in search of a better life in Munich.
