Frenkie de Jong next? The 8 players to play for Manchester United & Ajax

msn.com

Manchester United and Ajax are two of the biggest clubs in the history of football, but only a handful of players have ever played for both.

Frenkie de Jong could become the next if transfer rumours are to be believed. New United boss Erik ten Hag wants his former player reunited with him for his first Premier League season, and if he does come he would join an elite list of names.

While some had more success with one than the other, a small number lifted the biggest trophies with both. There are also those that failed to appear for both, despite being on the books at both the English and Dutch clubs.

Those include Johan Cruyff’s son Jordi as well as Timothy Fosu-Mensah, both of whom made senior appearances for United but left Ajax at a young age.
