  • Barcelona are still keen in selling Frenkie De Jong, with Manchester United highly interested
  • But fresh reports now suggest the Dutchman specifically does not fancy a move to Old Trafford
  • De Jong can see himself leaving Barca, but has two preferences in mind

Frenkie De Jong reportedly has no interest in joining Manchester United, and would prefer a move to Chelsea or Bayern Munich instead.

The saga surrounding the Dutchman is not ending anytime soon, with Barcelona keen on selling him to ease the club’s wage bill.

An explosive report from Spanish publication Sport has detailed De Jong’s preferences as the 25-year-old is determined to have a say in where he will play next.

In the words of the report, De Jong “does not like the city of Manchester or the functioning of United”.

It further states that Champions League football is extremely important to De Jong at this point in his career, hence his preference to join a team playing in Europe’s elite competition next season.

At Barcelona, De Jong has had three fairly lucrative years with the club, making 140 appearances.
