Manchester United still hopeful for Frenkie de Jong deal

It was made incredibly clear over the weekend that Manchester United is in desperate need of some help in the midfield. Scott McTominay and Fred simply are not the answer. So, who could come in and save the day for the Red Devils?
Frenkie De Jong is the obvious answer, and it looks like the club isn't ready to throw in the towel just yet on him making his way to Old Trafford.
🗣 @AndyMitten on Frenkie de Jong: “#mufc wouldn’t be in this if they didn’t think they’d have a chance. I’m actually more optimistic of him joining United than I was a week ago.” [Talk of the Devils]

This would be a massive get for United and he'd help the team dramatically. Fans can only hope that de Jong makes his way to the EPL to play for MUFC.
