Erik ten Hag has been informed by a Manchester United legend that the club needs to give up hope of signing Frenkie de Jong this summer in fear of looking 'desperate'
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has been told to end his lengthy pursuit of Barcelona ace Frenkie de Jong once and for all after months of speculation surrounding a switch.
The Red Devils have been linked with the Netherlands international ever since Ten Hag first took the reins at the beginning of last summer, but with his debut season in charge at Old Trafford nearing its end, it appears that the club are no closer to striking any kind of deal to land De Jong's signature.
Before the rumour mill can even work itself into overdrive this summer, De Jong has come out and insisted he has no intention of leaving the Camp Nou anytime soon.
