Man Utd issued a warning about a disastrous transfer as the agreement to buy Frenkie de Jong nears.

In Ten Hag’s first campaign, the Red Devils and the Catalans worked out a price for the Dutchman to sign, but the deal fell through in the end. After putting in a fresh bid this summer, it seems Ten Hag is still eager to work with the deft midfield player two years later.

The Manchester Evening News, citing the Spanish daily Nacional, reports that United will now need to pay an additional £30 million because the £42.9 million bid was turned down.

It’s also possible that McTominay will be forced out of Old Trafford if a trade is made for De Jong. Should that be the case, the former manager of England has advised the manager of United not to sell the Scotsman.

Speaking on Footy Accumulators’ “No Tippy Tappy Football” podcast, Allardyce remarked, “It will be interesting to see whether Erik ten Hag can lead Man United to where they need to go now that he is settled.”

“It depends on whether the players are onside with him or not. I had a sneaky suspicion at the back end of last season that he lost a few players. I think that is a key element in terms of trust between the manager, players and backroom staff, is an absolute must if you’re going to finish in any position in the Premier League that you surprise people with.

Man United is going to shock everyone if they place first or second, but togetherness is something that seems to have been lost, therefore everyone needs to get on board. Scott McTominay became a goal scorer for both Man United and Scotland, therefore losing him would be disastrous for the team.
