The new Dutch coach of United has made it clear to Old Trafford CEO Richard Arnold that he does not want a prolonged story for the 25-year-old Barcelona star to run until the end of the transfer window on September 1st. Ten Haag, 52, wants to know if a deal can be reached for the 25-year-old Dutch playmaker by the end of next week – otherwise he will change goals. The former Ajax coach has handed over to Arnold a number of “wish list” players in all positions – with the arrest of De Jong high on his priorities. Eric ten Hague persuades Frankie de Jong to transfer to Manchester United after successful talks The Manchester United youngster who snatched Eric ten Hague was included in Old Trafford But he does not want to wait all summer for De Jong to get frustrated and find his plans for the new season in turmoil unless an agreement is reached with Barcelona and the player. That’s why he is pushing for a timely response from Barcelona with United’s first offer of εκατο 53m plus εκατο 7m in extra being rejected. United believe that Barcelona will sell the midfielder, despite the fact that boss Xavi wants to keep him at the Nou Camp.

That is why United sources say that the club’s officials are “working hard” to reach an agreement. Ten Hague’s first game in the United presidency will be a baptism of fire against Liverpool in Bangkok, Thailand, on July 12. A double Down Under quickly followed in Melbourne against Melbourne Victory and Crystal Palace at MCG before closing the far end of the tour against Aston Villa in Perth on July 23rd. Erik ten Hag wants Frenkie de Jong to take part in United’s pre-season tour ( Picture: Getty Images) With Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham making early progress in the transfer market, Old Trafford executives are believed to be upset that they have already been criticized for lack of progress with the transfer window opening just last Friday. But United’s recent transfer window history does not inspire the ten Hags with the confidence of stars such as Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani and Porto left-back Alex Teles, both signing a 2020 expiration date. The new coach does not want the same kind of disaster of the transfer window that prevented David Moyes from becoming United manager after the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013. Manchester United transfer collection: Barcelona reject De Jong’s offer and players’ departures confirmed Manchester United have confirmed 11 departures from the team as Eric ten Hague was close to a double transfer Ed Woodward, the head of United at the time after the early departure of Ferguson and CEO David Gill that summer, chased several goals, but United stumbled in the final days of the transfer window with zero new transfers that Moyes wanted. They eventually arrested Marouane Fellaini for 27 27.5 million on the closing day, having abandoned Everton full-back compatriot Leighton Baines, whom they had been chasing without success until the last day. That summer window put Moyes in the back immediately – and he was sacked after just ten months in the presidency, with many believing his lack of transfer activity gave him little chance of succeeding with a team in need of renewal. Ten Haag does not want to be in a similar situation and although he will be given more time to succeed than Moyes, he is looking for new faces to urgently start rebuilding at United. read more Frenkie de Jong’s dream jersey number made available to Man Utd before transfer read more Frenkie de Jong transfer: Man Utd prepares new offer after Barcelona rejected the first offer
