Nice to see the confidence is high with us all a week before the season starts
Frenkie de Jong | The last muppeting lap

I have lived in Manchester for 4 years, Barca for 1, Amsterdam for 1 and London for most of my life. Barcelona and Amsterdam are just far nicer - ignore the tourist centres and they’re just so much more beautiful with probably just as much to do. As well as Barcelona has much much nicer weather.
But you don’t live in Barcelona anymore, why is that?
It's likely because I've lived here for all my 37 years of life, so I don't know any different, but I love it here. Its got everything I need and yes the weather isn't great, but it's not all about the weather in my eyes.
I suppose its a case of to each their own, but I do love it here and wouldn't change it for anything. Don't get me wrong, I can see the fascination with places like London and the sorts, but maybe its just me that doesn't find them places appealing
I've lived in Bournemouth all my life.
Kill me.
Kill me.
It is, and the player has been treated badly by Barcelona, and he's super unhappy about it but he isn't exactly jumping on a plane to get out either. The draw of Manchester and EL football isn't exactly a huge pull right now.
It's a shithole, allegedly.
That's very much where I am standing.
If Frenkie hasn't got the gonads to tell his Mrs to pack her bags, is he going to be able to handle the monsters he would play against in the Premier League?
Just asking....
Just asking....
But how will it end? Will it end like GAME OF THRONES or will it end like SIX FEET UNDER?
Why would we do that when the de Jong deal is all but done ? Barca are pushing him out, his missus is miserable and he got a fair well run out in midfield last night. Give him a week and he’ll be playing in red
Yeah me too i guess
I can understand he wouldn't be thrilled about moving from Barca to Manchester, but the EL thing wouldn't be a huge deal I'd imagine. It's not like we're a permanent fixture in the EL and I imagine when ten Hag stabilises the ship, we'll be top 4 pretty consistently again.
Proper changes take time and I'm sure players joining will understand that and buy into ten Hags vision, at least that's the hope! I'm sure Frenkie has been told what he wants to hear, but has niggling doubts which I can fully understand. As I say though, the fact we're still there and not moving out says to me that we're confident it'll be done soon
Thata the grin of man who just cut one on the stairs. Knowing full well the person behind him is walking right down into it.
“Check out my big lever, ya cnuts.”
That’s defo the face of someone who’s about to leave the city against her will. This is so on! Frenkies coming to Utd and his GF is probably gonna make his life hell. Di Maria vibes
I think it's more a case of where United are in comparison to rivals. We won't be in the EL forever, hopefully back in the CL next season but we won't win that or the PL in the next 3 years, and that's probably a hard pill to swallow when you're considered one of the best players in the world in your position. We'd have to go on a massive spending spree and get it right to be challenging in 3 years also.
I'm confident of it also but I think at this point Barcelona need to pay him and force him out for it to get done.
I think starting the season without midfield reinforcements is borderline sabotage. I would have set a deadline and moved on by this point i think. I get that it looks like its finally creeping its way towards being done but i'd be looking to inject some urgency. Or adjusting my budget to bring in a second midfielder because if it doesn't come off were quite fecked.Why would we do that when the de Jong deal is all but done ?

I’m not really bothered but if someone tells me they know something then suggests they are 50/50 if it will happen either way I think to myself ‘you are talking bollocks’Talk about ignoring reality and substituting your own because you don't like it.
So I zoomed in on the photo to check the licence plate of the car behind her in the photo because it looks like she could be on the left side of the road, but she's just using the front camera which flips the image. The car pictured behind her has the blue E section on the licence plate, commonly found in Barcelona.That’s defo the face of someone who’s about to leave the city against her will. This is so on!

Mate, her sad face is the best update we’ve had on this saga since the very beginning. Like seriously, I can read so much shit from that image. It’s the most concrete information that this deal is happening! You don’t make a sad face like that if you’re planning on staying around.
I hoped he would answer that he stayed there for work. Because in the end, Frenkie will be payed shitloads to play for us. It’s no big deal to live in Manchester. Also we are a huge club and we got ambition. We will be in the CL next season. I don’t see any problem what so ever.
“Check out my big lever, ya cnuts.”
And again, absolutely no one has said that or claimed to know anything about whether this transfer will happen or not. It may come as a surprise to learn that not all things in life are black or white, sometimes certain things can be unsure until something else happens which forces it one way or the other, at the moment it seems this transfer is in the hands of Barcelona and them forcing the issue.
Because London is where the music industry is at and I grew up here and love my friend and family. The fact I moved back doesn’t negate the fact that Barcelona was a much more enjoyable place to live especially if I were to earn millions a year.
Well I hope it's not just her posing and you're right mate!Mate, her sad face is the best update we’ve had on this saga since the very beginning.

You really need to see Frenkies GF sad face. It’ll change your whole view on the transfer. I’m surprised sky sports aren’t all over it.
Second this. I moved to Stockholm back in 2012 and if I was to come back to the UK I'd never move back to Manchester, I'd probably go to London instead, or literally almost anywhere else in Europe.
Sadface is huge. It’s in the bag.
Mancunian fish and chips isn’t great. It’s the one thing that’s far better in Yorkshire.
Plenty of top quality kebabs though
Deal is done. You can see Murtough in the background of one of the pics yanking down on a fecking huge lever.
For those of you that don’t have Instagram. No idea what the butterflies are about?
It’ll kill you first.
I don’t like Spain much, but I’m sure Barcelona has many draws. Mind you, if you weren’t young, beautiful and super-rich it probably wouldn’t feel quite the same.
Following your partner’s career is the life of a top footballer’s wife, unfortunately for her. She has 10 years of that to put up with, and then they can return to their mansion in Barcelona if they want. She’ll only be in her 30s!
Oh hell yeah, I absolutely love me a kobeda and chicken tikka kebab on nan from Rusholme chippy. One of the best I've had.Mancunian fish and chips isn’t great. It’s the one thing that’s far better in Yorkshire.

Need to get me one sometime it's been a while
Do you have a read on her salad though? That's the punchline.Mate, her sad face is the best update we’ve had on this saga since the very beginning.

Sad => Love Barcelona => Not very yummy-looking salad
Is she not just saying it's a mess?
Nah, we’ll be grand. Stop fixating on McFred and you’ll see the manager has plenty of options.
That's the face of a manchester bound wag. Don't worry Mikky, you'll learn to love it like the rest of us!For those of you that don’t have Instagram. No idea what the butterflies are about?
Butterflies symbolise change, rebirth and transformationFor those of you that don’t have Instagram. No idea what the butterflies are about?
