Frenkie de Jong

[Birdy]

A lot of his appeal is that he looks good doing the basics and can drive with the ball. But without space to drive with the ball he doesn't have much left in his game that you'd consider beyond okay/good.

Final ball he often refuses or doesn't see, rarely makes passes between the lines and his one footedness closes off options to switch play or dribble to another area of the pitch.

Even when you watch his highlights pre-Barca the majority is of him driven up the pitch with acres of space. That's why he looked so good at libero at Barca, as he can evade a challenge very well and then lay the ball off to the next available player.

When moved forward as an interior, you need to either be more intricate with one-touch play or have an eye for a pass nearer the goal but he often falls over as that really isn't his strong point thus not quite executing what he's been asked to do.

Said it all

Hope if we sell him it is to some other team. I want Neville to cry even more.

 

[feggydinho]

Trying to sell De Jong to this Man Utd is pure wickedness to him

 

[Zidane82]

After todays game we can ask as much as we want !!

 

[serghei]

I believe a wage cut is far less psychologically damaging than playing for United. Take the cut Frenkie (50% is over the top though).

 

[Messigician]

He's not going anywhere lmao

Has little reason to take a pay cut either tbf

 

[Catta]

Frenkie has all the right to ask for the biggest wages in the world if United wants him. Why else would any player sign for that shitshow of a club.

The bigger issue is how do we convince De Jong to go there? I don't even know how Man Utd can save themselves anymore seeing as most of the quality players have been transferred already. They've got issues everywhere, defense, attack, midfield and they didn't act fast in the market. They would've gone for Gabriel Jesus and Dembele for attack and offered them massive wages cause they really have big issues.

 

[jamrock]

I don't rate what he's brought to us since being here, but to put him through man utd shit show after 3 years of us being crap, is a bit to much.
Go to Chelsea you bastard!!!

Lol

They have to sack ten haag and get a proper manager.

 

[Horatio]

Why no one asking the question of why teammates are not defending him?

 

[Porque]

Needs to move to UTD and save them. England, a place where 5 metre headless runs gets the praise of the Queens Speech.

 

[feggydinho]

Would be stupid to sell him and leave Kessie here, he's miles above Kessie and offers something unique. Far better than Gavi also

 

[El Ilusionista]

Lesson learned today, whether this man earns ?1 a week or ?500k a week man should always play stop bullying him. Much better than Gavi.
