Manchester United is experiencing a slight improvement since the arrival of Rubén Amorim as the new coach. The Portuguese coach has managed to revitalize the team after their poor start, implementing a more solid and balanced play style.
Key players like Bruno Fernandes, Amad Diallo, and Ugarte are beginning to show their best level, which has led the team to a more consistent performance in the Premier League. Bruno has continued to be the creative engine of the team, while Diallo has been a revelation with his dynamism and attacking skills. Ugarte, meanwhile, has provided crucial defensive balance in the midfield, improving ball recovery and distribution.
With these players in form, Manchester United is beginning to find its identity and climb positions in the standings.
Manchester United already showed interest in a key Barça player
However, the club is not satisfied with these advances and continues to look to the future with ambition. Despite the progress with Rubén Amorim, Manchester United's leaders know they need more reinforcements to continue competing at the highest level, especially in Europe.
In this context, the club has kept its attention on some Barça players, especially those who could improve the long-term project. In recent weeks, there was speculation about Manchester United's interest in Fermín López. However, the midfielder recently renewed his contract with Barça until 2029.
The 'Red Devils' want to shower a player with gold
According to 'El Nacional.cat', Manchester United has now set its sights on Frenkie de Jong. The Dutch midfielder is one of Barça's players who are improving with Flick. In this regard, Manchester United is willing to offer him a signing bonus of 15 million if he agrees to move to Old Trafford.
This offer reflects the English club's serious interest in strengthening its midfield with a player of De Jong's quality. However, the operation will not be easy, as Barça doesn't want to let De Jong go for a low offer, and moreover, De Jong's decision has varied.
He might stay now
Nevertheless, Frenkie de Jong's situation at Barça has changed significantly in recent weeks with Hansi Flick. With the German coach, since this January, De Jong has experienced a renaissance in his role within the team. According to Mundo Deportivo, Frenkie de Jong is enjoying his time at Barça and is now seriously considering renewing his contract beyond 2026.
The Dutch player has found stability in the midfield, and he has taken the starting position in recent matches from players like Gavi or Marc Casadó. This renewed confidence in his game could make it easier for Barça to convince him to renew, even with United offering a signing bonus. With De Jong increasingly settled in Barcelona, his future seems more tied to the Catalan club than ever.
