Manchester United's new manager Tannhäuser is rumored to be investing as much as 120 million pounds in reinforcements after taking office. The Spanish daily sports newspaper revealed that the Dutch coach intends to sign Barcelona midfield core Frankie Dijon, the two had worked together in Ajax, Tanhag firmly believe that Frankie Dijon to join Manchester United will help the implementation of its tactical system.
Frankie Dijon, 25, has held the starting spot at Barcelona since his move from Ajax in 2019, but the Dutch international's performances have fluctuated since Xavi took over. In addition, Barcelona is very likely to sign AC Milan midfielder Kissell this summer, Frankie Dijon's starting position will not be guaranteed. If his "mentor" Tannhäuser extends an olive branch, he may be happy to accept it.
The fact that Tanhag has publicly criticized Barcelona for failing to utilize Frankie Dijon's full potential shows that he believes there is still room for improvement for his beloved player. With Paul Pogba and Nima Chamadi scheduled to leave the club this summer, Tannhäuser has brought in Frankie Dijon to mold him into the heart of the team's midfield.
Frankie Dijon's value is expected to be around 75 million euros, Barcelona's midfield lineup is huge, letting him go may be inevitable. If the deal comes to fruition, not only is it good for Barcelona to improve their financial situation, but it's also a win-win situation for Manchester United.
