In a shock revelation no one saw coming, dutch start Frenkie De Jong may move away from the Camp Nou this summer.
It is believed one possible destination for him is Old Trafford, allowing him to reunite with former manager Erik Ten Hag.
De Jong has not been a critical part of the side that Xavi has been trying to create. Youngsters such as Pedro and Gavi, have proven to be more effective in the system Xavi has attempted to play. And having been grown up at La Masia, it is obvious they are better able to integrate into the team.
Barcelona are in a conundrum whether to keep De Jong and play him as he approaches his physical peak, or sell him now and recoup some of the money they paid for him.
Manchester United are in desperate need of midfield reinforcements, especially with Nemanja Matic announcing that he will leave the club at the end of the season.
Erik Ten Hag has been advised to start with a midfield rebuild and he could choose to bring back his former midfield general at Ajax to start with.
