Frenkie De Jong to United 95% done!

Watching him against Wales and he’s hiding…

Hopefully it’s because he doesn’t want to pick up an injury or something because he looks shit against a bunch of championship level players.

Forget this wuss and sign that Gakpo lad, he looks pretty £#%&!ing good

No problem with that, would like to think there are a few other ideas other than ex-Ajax, 30 year olds with heart problems and dipper targets though.

FWIW I’m fully prepared to back the little bald genius

take it you didn't clock his shoes then...

The only transfer that will make a difference is the ownership of the club.

Walk away and sign a couple of lads that actually want to play for us.

Transparent attempt at playing hard to get

Yeah, some of the best midfielders in the world normally come out whilst playing for Barca and say they want to play at United pre season in the nation's league....

One that got away ..

I am amazed that United are involved in another 'saga'. Completely inept from top to bottom. Either properly try to sign him or don't and if he doesn't fancy it just move on. The problem is it suits them for it to drag on because they don't have to move on and spend it elsewhere just yet, do they?

It's silly season but them quotes are pretty definitive. He's either making Barca properly force him out or he doesn't fancy it. Not a great thing to say really is it? If he did sign.

Mate, you’re not even at the biggest club in Spain.

A lot of clubs sign players before window opens ffs stop making excuses for these useless @#%&!s

I think the reason people are getting frustrated is because it does feel like a repeat of what's happened previously. It's not like we don't have a history of dragging this sort of thing out for months on end.

Still reckon it'll happen, although the more it drags on the less excited I am about it. Doesn't help that he obviously doesn't want to leave Barca.

Shut up you belm, I was calling out Woodward and the Glazers when everyone was buzzing about Ole. Give it a couple of weeks ffs. Literally only last year we managed to complete Sancho’s signing after a year of all this, I’m not going to say this one is dragging out when we’ve had that to deal with.

That’s my main issue.

Stinks of the Di Maria transfer…

Turn it in aldi waynesear.

The clearly doesn't want it. Just leave him be and move on. Meanwhile spurs have signed a top DM for 25m.

"You are always flattered when teams show interest in you as a player," said De Jong. "But I think I am at the biggest club in the world at the moment and feel fine there so there is no news."

This is standard player-speak before things are agreed.

He doesn't want to £#%&! things up with the Barca fans in case he stays so he's keeping quiet for now.

He'd say exactly the same thing if he was at Southampton.

We aren't going to end up with Fellaini again, so relax lads.

Yeah, not much wrong with what he's said. Plus these 'interviews' are designed to squeeze any kind of answer out of it and then analyse it to death. The last one he did he was laughing uncomfortably.

Being respectful of his current club and saying he's happy. Standard stuff. You could say you love your house and you're very happy there while digging around on Right Move.
