Frenkie de Jong is now 'open' to a reunion with Erik ten Hag at Manchester United, according to reports. MUFC

Ten Hag worked with the player at Ajax and without his influence, this transfer saga would likely be dead in the water.

Sheth revealed that United face one last hurdle if they are to complete the signing, as De Jong is owed between £14-17m in deferred wage payments.“The information we’re getting is that he would be open to reuniting with Erik Ten Hag. The issue boils down to these deferred wage payments, because De Jong – along with the majority of the Barcelona squad during the pandemic – took a pay cut. That pay cut represented deferred payments and he’s owed we think between 14 and 17 million pounds.

Though the Gunners have not tabled an official bid, the Belgian is very keen on switching Leicester for London.
