In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Does not have, and has never had, any interest in either leaving Barca or joining United.
This transfer will never, ever happen.

So your saying he's thought about it?
I sense great doubt within him, we are back in the game!
I strongly suspect that he’s thinking about thinking about it.
Chooo choooooooo
Chooo choooooooo
Exactly Barca could be on the verge of Administration and he still wouldn't leave
FDJ could come out and give a press conference saying this verbatim and you'd still have dozens of posters here saying there's a chance we could still sign him.
I’m sure I can recall something along those lines happening already
I think Camavinga can play Frenkie’s role better & would prefer him.
Yeah Madrid really likely to let him leave
Unlikely sure, just De Jong has been someone who was a bit greater under Ten Hag than during any other time at Barca - that’s primarily due to Ten Hag’s ability to improve a player.
Camavinga under Ten Hag’s management would be beautiful, but wouldn’t say no to De Jong.

Frenkie de Jong is better than Camavinga in every aspect needed to play that role, so what makes you think he would do better?
I think that de Jong would play for United IF Barcelona somehow manages to push him out. The guy explained in an interview just 1-2 weeks ago that Barcelona wanted to sell him but he refused and stayed. Xavi seems to like him as a player and , even if they badly need to sell him, I don't know how he can be made to leave.
If someone could enlighten me how a high-profile player on massive wages with 3 years left on his contract can be forced by the club to agree to a transfer?

The one true player that would bring balance to our current midfield.
We should be trying again, just to taste his resolve.

You're aware that buy posting in this thread you're not letting it to die?
The only way to do it is to convince the player that they are not part of your plans, and they will not be playing so their career will hit a roadblock. Barca tried that last year with FDJ but realised he is better than anyone else they have, so picked him anyway, so he no longer had an incentive to leave. I still think the deferred wages are the stumbling block, but those become less of an issue as they get paid over the remainder of his contract.
Watch this space...
Last summer pretty much proved you cant.
FdJ called Barcas bluff and that was that.
Its a bit shit really, Id hoped he would have had a rubbish season in Barca and he would be with us this summer but not to be.
Loving the thread title 
all aboard! 
all aboard! Can we nuke this thread into oblivion please?
Oh Hell yeah brother, strap in!Oh no
would be a great signing.
he's what we need..
he's what we need..
I know that I can’t stay behind. The train is going
You guys are gluttons for punishment. The man has clearly said he wants to stay at Barca and this summer they're not even trying to make him leave. Especially since Busquets left.
Move on, for your sakes.
Move on, for your sakes.
No no no
Yeah time this closed and Erik moved on too
I don't have a twitter post because I don't use twitter, however the Raphael Honigstein has an article on The Athletic which says Bayern want him:

https://theathletic.com/4587357/2023/06/07/bayern-munich-thomas-tuchel?source=user-shared-article
Seems very unlikely and just a PR wishlist from Bayern.
FdJ doesn't want to leave, I doubt that's changed very much. Barca need him now more then ever with Busquets leaving.
I think the safe money is on Frenkie being a Barca player for many years to come.
I agree, he worked his way back into the team and seems indispensable now. Just thought it worth posting.
I know this aint happening but im joining this thread because theres not much else to do during transfer windows so...
We need to test Frenkie’s resolve again, and again, and again.
Ahhh shhhheeee, here we go again. [insert GTA San Andreas meme gif here].
But seriously, he would be the perfect partner to Casemiro. Summer chase round 2? Count me in!

So you're telling me there's a chance? Yeah!
The second coming.

Now that Messi is joining Inter Miami, I guess Barca don't need to sell anyone then?
Yep tread is deadNow that Messi is joining Inter Miami, I guess Barca don't need to sell anyone then?
Good lord, I just heard absolutely nothing. The options are endless.
