This new development has provided Manchester United with a substantial advantage in their pursuit of de Jong.

In spite of the fact that de Jong reaffirmed his commitment to remain at Camp Nou over the summer of that previous year, his future is uncertain due to the financial difficulties that Barcelona is experiencing.

The club is considering the possibility of selling the 26-year-old player as a way to reduce their financial burdens, which include the substantial earnings that he receives.

During the time that Erik ten Hag has been in charge of Manchester United, the club has made the acquisition of de Jong their top transfer priority.

Prior attempts to obtain his signature, on the other hand, were unsuccessful because the athlete refused to sign.

Rumors circulated that de Jong was being linked to moves to European powerhouses like Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich as interest in him increased.

Given that Kylian Mbappe is expected to leave Paris Saint-Germain in the near future, the club’s interest in de Jong was especially noteworthy.

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) had de Jong on their radar because they needed to enhance their roster and fill the vacuum left by Mbappe.

Recent sources, on the other hand, suggest that Paris Saint-Germain has switched their attention elsewhere, thereby making it possible for Manchester United to pursue the Dutch midfielder.

A summer departure is not completely out of the question, despite the fact that de Jong has indicated that he is keen to extend his contract with Barcelona.

This new development is in line with Manchester United’s ongoing pursuit of de Jong, which puts them in a favorable position to secure his services.

While everything is going on, Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, has expressed his concerns on the ongoing injury problems that have been afflicting his team ever since he arrived in 2022.

Ten Hag continues to emphasize the importance of overcoming these hurdles and achieving results for the club, despite the fact that he does not have his preferred starting lineup available for the majority of matches.

In the final of the FA Cup, Manchester United is scheduled to compete against Manchester City. This comes after Manchester United defeated Coventry City in the semi-finals of the competition.

However, because of the continued concerns regarding injuries, it is possible that ten Hag will once again have to deal with difficulties regarding team selection for the key match.
