Read our privacy policy Rio Ferdinand believes that Frenkie de Jong would be a “great signing” for Manchester United after the midfielder was linked with a move to the club. “They’re saying Frenkie de Jong could be the first player to come in under Erik ten Hag, and I would be saying: ‘Yes, great signing.’ “He’s not huge in terms of frame but he is quick with the ball, really good dribbler, can get out of tight situations, makes good decisions, good passer, his balance and dribbling ability are really good. “ are a team who are looking for players who can control the ball and control the game and get the team functioning in terms of balance and possession, I think he would be a good addition.” Ten Hag is expected to have former Middlesbrough, England and Newcastle manager Steve McClaren as part of his Manchester United staff. With significant player turnover expected at Old Trafford this summer, Ferdinand thinks that De Jong’s familiarity with Ten Hag could be beneficial if he is signed.
