The director of the English team met with several fans in a bar in the city before they carried out a protest against the current owners of the club, the Glazer family.
Arnold was recorded by the fans themselves giving an update on the status of De Jong’s signing, the main claim of Erik Ten Hag, the new coach of the ‘Red Devils’.
“We are doing everything we can to close the deal. I have been trying to close it for several days, the money is there, but there are things in our path that I cannot comment on,” said the manager, who also added that money will not be a problem.
“The coach loves him and the job has been done. He is a great player,” he added.
De Jong, who arrived at Barcelona in the summer of 2019 from Ajax in Amsterdam, has not performed at the same level at the Camp Nou as he did in the ‘ajacied’ team. This, coupled with Barcelona’s need to earn money, has precipitated the 25-year-old midfielder’s departure.
The entrance Manchester United trusts in the signing of De Jong was first published in diary TODAY.
