Frenkie de Jong may snub Man Utd, prefers Bayern Munich or Chelsea
Frenkie de Jong reportedly has no interest in signing with Manchester United, instead preferring either Chelsea or Bayern Munich if he is to leave Barcelona.
De Jong has been at the centre of Barcelona’s transfer period, with widespread belief that the club must sell the 25-year-old to balance their books.
The Netherlands international has racked up 140 club appearances for Barcelona in his three seasons since arriving from Ajax, and he is determined to have a say in where he spends the next few years of his prime.

In an explosive report from Spanish publication Sport, it says De Jong “does not like the city of Manchester or the functioning of United”, with claims he feels the club has displayed “erratic behaviour” in recent years.
It also makes clear that he values Champions League football greatly at this point in his career, and any move away from the Spanish giants would need to land him at a club on equal footing.
According to the report, Chelsea are waiting for De Jong to officially decline United’s approach before presenting a formal offer, but there is interest.
Ultimately, he would prefer to stay at Barcelona, and if the club cannot clear up the issue of his significant unpaid wages, he may get his way.
