Frankie de jong reveals the ONE Man United player that is making him to join Man United amid speculation that the Dutch Man is joining by January
Frenkie de Jong has finally spoken, and his revelation has sent shockwaves across Europe. After months of silence, the Dutch midfielder has revealed the real reason he is edging closer to a move to Manchester United — and it has nothing to do with money, prestige, or promises from club executives. His reason is far more personal, and it has left PSG and Liverpool stunned.
De Jong turned down PSG’s luxury-filled proposal and ignored Liverpool’s attempt to reshape their midfield around him. Instead, he admitted he’s seriously considering Old Trafford because of one man — a player he says has been pushing him ever since they parted ways at Ajax. According to him, this relentless influence has never faded, and now it might finally bring them back together.
Sources around the Netherlands squad claim that this United player has been messaging him constantly, urging him to join, insisting that their story isn’t finished. De Jong confirmed it himself, saying someone has been “on his neck” since the day he left Amsterdam. That person is none other than Donny van de Beek. The midfielder who has struggled to find his place at United might be the key reason one of the biggest potential January signings is suddenly looking very realistic.
While PSG offered freedom and Liverpool promised a central role in their rebuild, Donny gave something those clubs couldn’t replicate — a deep connection built on trust, friendship, and shared football roots. De Jong has never been this open about his motivations, but with his frustrations growing in Barcelona and Erik ten Hag seeking to reshape his midfield, the timing is lining up perfectly.
De Jong sees something at United that he feels Barcelona can no longer provide: a manager who understands his style to its core, a teammate he trusts like family, a system designed for his strengths, and a club craving leadership in the centre of the pitch. This isn’t speculation — it’s something that has been whispered for months, and now De Jong has practically confirmed the spark behind it.
United fans are already imagining a midfield trio of Frenkie de Jong, Kobbie Mainoo, and Bruno Fernandes — with Donny potentially finding new life alongside them. One January signing could flip their entire season.
De Jong ended with a statement that will sting both PSG and Liverpool for a long time: “Money can’t make me turn my back on people who are like family. This move would be for him — and for what we began at Ajax.”
If United manage to secure his signature this January, it won’t feel like a transfer. It will feel like a reunion, the revival of a partnership, and a powerful message to the football world — all sparked by one player who refused to let their bond fade.
