Frenkie De Jong provides update on future and Man United fans won't like it

Erik ten Hag had been hoping to sign a player he previously worked with at Ajax but the midfielder has spoken out and is keen to continue playing under Xavi.

While the 25-year-old wants to fight for his place at the Camp Nou, the decision may be out of his hands with Barcelona still financially unstable.

"I am thrilled to be rejoining Manchester United at such an exciting time for the club, as the first team prepares for a fresh start under Erik Ten Hag, and the Academy and women's teams go from strength to strength," said O'Boyle.
