# Man United 'still keen on Frenkie de Jong' but a January window move could be Erik ten Hag's 'last throw of the dice' ## Manchester United remain interested in signing Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong, but a January move for the Netherlands international could be Erik ten Hag's final attempt to sign the player. ### De Jong has been a long-term target for United, with the club having failed to sign him during the summer transfer window. Ten Hag is a huge admirer of De Jong and is believed to be keen on adding him to his squad. However, Barcelona are reluctant to sell De Jong, and would demand a significant fee for the player. United are also aware that De Jong is happy at Barcelona and is not pushing for a move away from the club. As a result, a January move for De Jong is seen as unlikely, with United likely to wait until the summer to make another attempt to sign him. However, if United are able to sign De Jong in January, it would be a major coup for Ten Hag. De Jong is a world-class midfielder and would add some much-needed quality to United's squad. He is also a player who is capable of playing in a variety of positions, which would give Ten Hag more options in midfield. If United are able to sign De Jong, it would be a major statement of intent from the club. It would also be a sign that Ten Hag is backing himself to turn United into a force to be reckoned with once again.
