Warning to Manchester United: De Jong may be surprised to play in the Premier League
After failing last season, Manchester United are trying to overhaul the squad ahead of the 2022/2023 season with the new manager, Erik ten Hag. The Red Devils have made Frenkie de Jong one of the main targets in the transfer market this summer.
Manchester United are reportedly still negotiating with Barcelona for the transfer of De Jong. The two clubs have not yet reached an agreement on price.
Former Manchester United player, Teddy Sheringham, warned his former club about the transfer of De Jong. Sheringham is not sure De Jong can adapt quickly to the Premier League.
"There's a lot of recruitment work at Manchester United. Erik ten Hag needs to get players with the right character and who understand the challenges of playing in the Premier League," Sheringham told Lord Ping as reported by Metro.
"Where will he get these players? I heard rumors about Frenkie de Jong. He has never played in the Premier League and plays for Barcelona, ​​who are predicted to beat almost every team."
"A lot of Barcelona's domestic opponents just gave up all season. That doesn't happen in the Premier League, every game is a fight."
"The pace and quality of the league can come as a shock to the system for Ten Hag and a player like De Jong. United's season could be chaotic again next year," said Sheringham.
