‘Phil Jones wouldn’t do that’ – Man Utd tell Frenkie de Jong to finally join after spotting girlfriend’s row with Pique
MANCHESTER UNITED have told Frenkie de Jong to finally move to Old Trafford after spotting Gerard Pique appear to disrespect his girlfriend.
The Red Devils were heavily linked with a move for De Jong last summer but the Barcelona star was not interested in a switch.
United even reportedly had an offer for the Dutchman accepted but De Jong refused to switch.
Erik ten Hag could try to sign him again in the summer and fans are still keen for the move to happen.
And many have told De Jong that he’ll feel much more loved in Manchester after footage re-emerged of his ex-Barca team-mate Pique appearing to disrespect him and his fiancee Mikky Kiemeney.
An issue seemed to arise between the pair after Pique REFUSED to move seats to let De Jong sit next to his partner.
De Jong and another individual could be seen asking Pique to move, but the defender stayed put and dismissed their request rather aggressively.
De Jong, 25, then glanced behind at Mikky with a quizzical look on his face, as if he could not believe what just happened.
Mikky then turned to the camera with a glaring look on her face.
One fan reacted to the video by jokingly telling De Jong to move to Old Trafford.
