Frenkie de Jong was subject to a heavy transfer link to Manchester United from Barcelona last summer. However, he decided against it, and now, his fiancee Mikke Kiemeney has given a hilarious response on his Old Trafford arrival.
Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong was a hot topic during the transfer window last summer, as he was heavily linked to a move away from Spanish giants Barcelona to English giants Manchester United, with the latter's head coach Erik ten Hag hugely fond of his services. While the two had reportedly agreed to a transfer fee, the Dutch international decided against the move.
Also, Barca boss Xavi maintained that he was happy to have the midfielder at Camp Nou. However, the Red Devils haven't yet given up on de Jong's pursuit and are planning on having another shot at him this summer. Meanwhile, his fiancee Mikke Kiemeney was recently asked about the Dutchman's arrival at Old Trafford, to which she responded with a hilarious retort.

As per 90min, Kiemeney said that FDJ would be arriving at Old Trafford on February 23, the United and Barcelona's UEFA Europa League (UEL) playoff clash's second leg. A week before, the two sides would meet at Camp Nou in the opening leg of the encounter. The last time the two sides met on the European platform was in 2019 during the UEFA Champions League (UCL) quarterfinal, where the English side suffered a 0-4 defeat in aggregate.
