Manchester United have reportedly agreed to pay €90 million (£77 million) for Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong in the upcoming summer transfer window. This development comes amid significant changes at Old Trafford, following Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s acquisition of a 27.7% stake in the club earlier this month.

As part of the agreement, Ratcliffe and INEOS will assume control of the football operation at Manchester United, with Omar Berrada set to join as the new CEO from Manchester City, and Jason Wilcox appointed as the new technical director from Southampton. There are ongoing efforts to bring Dan Ashworth from Newcastle as the Red Devils’ new sporting director, while rumors suggest Erik ten Hag could be replaced in the summer.

Despite reaching the FA Cup final, Manchester United’s performances have been underwhelming throughout the season, leading to scrutiny and concerns about leadership both on and off the pitch. The potential signing of De Jong signifies United’s ambition to strengthen their midfield, with the offer aimed at overcoming any resistance from Barcelona.

De Jong, who has been plagued by injuries this season, is reportedly considered expendable by Barcelona’s management, paving the way for his potential departure. Manchester United’s pursuit of the Dutch midfielder remains unaffected by the uncertainty surrounding Ten Hag’s future at the club.

Former Premier League midfielder Robbie Savage expressed concerns about Manchester United’s lack of leadership, particularly evident in their recent FA Cup semi-final against Coventry City. Despite the dramatic nature of their victory, Savage highlighted the need for stronger collective decision-making and leadership within the team.
