Casemiro becomes the key to Frenkie De Jong’s move to Manchester United

By db-admin

DBasia.news – The Red Devils spent most of the summer of 2022 targeting Frenkie De Jong before realizing the 25-year-old player had no interest in moving to Old Trafford. The situation is now said to have changed, with United even able to beat Barca in the Europa League knockout play-offs this season.

De Jong has had a keen eye for the progress United have made under former Ajax boss, Erik ten Hag. He is now said to be open to a move to England, with talkSPORT claiming that the prospect of playing alongside Casemiro in the heart of the Red Devils’ midfield holds a lot of appeal for him.

United are expected to invest heavily in other options in the summer of 2023, with Borussia Dortmund and England star, Jude Bellingham also on the shortlist.

United have already claimed one trophy in 2022-2023, following their League Cup final win over Newcastle, and remain in the hunt for the Europa League and FA Cup titles. They are also on track to secure a top-four Premier League finish as well as qualification for the Champions League, which will be a useful bargaining option when trying to obtain De Jong.
