'What a disgrace?' Failed Ten Hach's unrequited love, even sent a special video to recruit Deyong, but 'rejected'



'What a disgrace?' Failed Ten Hach's unrequited love, even sent a special video to recruit Deyong, but 'rejected'
Coach Erik ten Hach hosted 'Dutch Connection' as soon as he was appointed to Manchester United.

He bought a large number of players from Eredivisie, the Netherlands. Among them, he favored the Ajax native he led. Antony, Lisandro Martinez, Andre Onana, Matthijs The Licht and others were brought in. How much he wanted, Antony paid 100 million euros, the second-largest transfer fee for the club after Paul Pogba. There was a lot of talk about overpaying at the time, but from Manchester United's point of view, they had no choice but to give strength to coach Ten Hag.

Among them, the greatest effort was the recruitment of 'Ajeja'Frenkie de Jong. Coach Ten Haach has made the semifinals of the European Champions League with De Jong at Ajax. De Jong was at the heart of Ten Hag football. De Jong then moved to Barcelona, and their relationship ended.

Coach Ten Haach, who took the helm of Manchester United, started recruiting Deyong at the same time as he took office. The negotiations continued until the end, but failed to recruit him in the end. Barcelona also accepted the transfer fee, but Deyong refused. There is also a backlog of wages, but there is even a story that Deyong did not want the trend itself.

Coach Ten Hag did not give up recruiting De Jong. Whenever the transfer market opened, he tried to recruit. But the result has always been a failure. Coach Ten Hag, who gained another opportunity by winning the FA Cup last season, also recruited De Jong last summer.



I've done everything in my power. According to The Athletic on the 31st (Korea time), Manchester United reportedly even sent a specially produced video to persuade De Jong. The Athletic said 'Unfortunately, De Jong did not watch this video. Despite Ten Hag's unilateral unrequited love, De Jong never opened his heart.

Coach Ten Hach, who failed to recruit Deyong, eventually failed to complete his football, eventually resigned this season in disgrace.
