Frenkie de Jong has received offers from Premier League clubs but remains content at Barcelona and is not prioritizing a move to England. He attracted Manchester United interest previously, particularly under Erik ten Hag, based on their shared Ajax history. De Jong praises the Premier League's quality but rejects the idea that playing there is necessary to prove his ability. At 28, squad planning considerations suggest Manchester United may explore alternative midfield targets. Domestic young talents mentioned as potential options include Adam Wharton and Carlos Bale.
