Erik ten Hag as opened the door to a fresh bid for Frenkie de Jong as he heaped praise on the Barcelona star ahead of Manchester United’s Europa League tie at the Nou Camp.
The two clubs appeared to have reached agreement over a deal for De Jong last summer, but the Dutchman opted to stay with the Catalan giants.
The decision has paid off for De Jong who is back in the team and playing some of his best football as Barca have gone to the top of La Liga.
