      However, De Jong couldn’t travel with the rest of Xavi’s side due to an illness.
      A report from RAC1 claimed the Blaugrana’s sporting director Deco spoke with the midfielder on the phone and doubted the legitimacy of the player’s excuse.
      However, the Netherlands international’s representative Ali Dursun lambasted those “nonsense” rumours and insisted his client is a “model professional”.

      “There was no shouting over the phone as claimed, no question marks.

      United attempted to sign the 26-year-old in a £70million transfer last year in the summer, but Barcelona refused to let him go. More

      He has struggled for form during his second season since a £70million move from Real Madrid in 2022.

      Why defeat to Liverpool for Man Utd may spell end of Erik ten Hag just as it did for Mourinho, Solskjaer, Moyes and LVG

      ERIK TEN HAG takes his struggling Manchester United squad to Liverpool knowing it could be the beginning of the end. Because history shows any ailing United boss all but has their fate sealed by their Northern rivals.

      In 2014, David Moyes’ United were hammered 3-0 at Old Trafford thanks to goals from Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez.
      Just a month later, Moyes was fired.
      His permanent replacement Louis van Gaal found himself in similar bother just two years later.
      Daniel Sturridge and Roberto Firmino condemned the Red Devils to defeat at Anfield in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie.

      Interestingly, Jose Mourinho’s final game in charge of United was against Liverpool at Anfield.
      The date? December 16, 2018 which is almost five years to the day that Ten Hag travels to Merseyside with his future in doubt.

      Mourinho’s men were beaten 3-1 and just two days later, the Portuguese tactician was sacked.
      It could prove an eerie coincidence if Ten Hag’s team leave Liverpool without a win.
      Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was also fired the same month as United’s humiliating 5-0 loss to Liverpool in early November 2021.
      SunSport exclusively revealed that ex-Chelsea boss Graham Potter is already being lined up to replace Ten Hag.
      Incoming investor Sir Jim Ratcliffe has met with Potter and favours him as the new boss at Old Trafford if he fires Ten Hag.
      The threat to the Dutchman’s position increased following Tuesday’s 1-0 Champions League home defeat to Bayern Munich.
      United crashed out of Europe with their lowest-ever group-stage points tally of FOUR.
      And they did not even drop into the Europa League after finishing BOTTOM of Group A.

      Mason Greenwood is ‘wanted by Barcelona as they plan shock transfer for Man Utd striker after Getafe loan’

      by

      MASON Greenwood is reportedly wanted by Barcelona in a permanent transfer from Manchester United. The striker is currently on loan at Getafe in Spain, but a major hint about his future has been revealed as huge names compete for the player.
      Getafe’s president said earlier this week the club wish to sign Mason Greenwood permanentlyCredit: Getty
      As reported by talkSPORT, Barcelona have sent scouts to watch the 22-year-old after he impressed with four goals and three assists in his 13 games so far.
      Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid are also rumoured to be monitoring the striker, who has helped boost his team to ninth place in LaLiga.
      And, reports in Italy suggested Lazio are also interested in signing Greenwood next summer.
      The owner of the Champions League team is understood to be “obsessed” with the English player and a January bid “cannot be ruled out”, Italian media reported.

      In addition, The Sun understands Valencia and Real Sociedad are both “monitoring” Greenwood, and could make a move in the summer.
      Our source said: “Mason has done brilliantly since he moved to Spain and is really catching the eye after a strong start to his time at Getafe.
      “There are a number of clubs looking at him in Spain with scouts from Valencia and Sociedad seemingly at the front of the queue.
      “It is highly unlikely Mason will return to Manchester United.
      Most read in Football
      “That ship has sailed, and he looks set to enjoy the next phase of his career in Spain where he has really settled and found his feet both personally and professionally.”
      With his current record on the field, Getafe are considering making Greenwood a permanent team player when this season finishes.
      Getafe president, Angel Corres, spoke to Cadena SER on Tuesday and revealed: “With Greenwood, we are not only planning on him staying another year, but we also want to buy him.”
      The football boss admitted it is “still too early” to make any final decisions.
      “I believe a lot [in Greenwood]. From here, we continue to work periodically, we continue to meet with Manchester [United] to see if they are happy,” he added.
      A recent report by The Athletic revealed that Getafe have now inserted a 20 per cent sell-on clause into any deal.
      This means that if they buy Greenwood, they will only have to pay 80 per cent of the full fee.
      And, if Greenwood is not signed by Getafe they will still claim 20 per cent of whatever fee is exchanged with another club.
      It comes as the star striker, who is under contract at Old Trafford until 2025, is not believed to have a future with the club.
      Greenwood was arrested in January 2022 following charges of attempted rape, assault and coercive control.
      He denied all the charges and they were later dropped by the CPS.

      The club attempted to reintegrate Greenwood but made a U-turn on after backlash from fans.

      The threat to the Dutchman’s position increased following Tuesday’s 1-0 Champions League home defeat to Bayern Munich.
      United crashed out of Europe with their lowest-ever group-stage points tally of FOUR.
      And they did not even drop into the Europa League after finishing BOTTOM of Group A.
      Ten Hag’s flops, who were also hammered 3-0 by Bournemouth in the Prem last Saturday, were booed off as their season hit a new low.

      And a heavy loss on Sunday at bitter rivals Liverpool — where United got humiliated 7-0 in March — could be the final straw for under-fire Ten Hag.
      Jose Mourinho was sacked by the Red Devils following a 3-1 loss to Jurgen Klopp’s side in December 2018.
      Potter, 48, has not managed since being sacked by Chelsea in April after less than a season in charge.

      The Ineos chief is set to buy 25 per cent of United next week and will immediately take over football operations.
      Potter turned down the chance to succeed Alex Neil as manager of Championship side Stoke this week.
      It is understood he is only prepared to return to the dugout if a major job came up.

      Ten Hag is United’s fifth permanent manager since Sir Alex Ferguson retired following his 2012-13 Prem title triumph.
      But the 53-year-old Dutchman is heading the way of his predecessors, despite a good first season in charge.
      The former Ajax boss finished third in the Premier League last season, reached both domestic cup finals and won the Carabao Cup — United’s first silverware in six years.
      This term they have gone backwards, losing 12 of their 24 games in all competitions.

      Off the pitch, United will also take a financial hit of more than £20million following their Champions League exit.
      It is believed they budget to reach the quarter-finals, so will lose out on matchday income and TV money as well as participation and performance fees.

      And according to transfer insider Christian Falk, Guirassy is now “ready for the next step” after turning down a contract extension from his current club.
      Stuttgart tried to buy the Guinea international’s relatively low release clause as well.
      That means the 27-year-old will be available for a bargain €17.5million (£15m) come January.
      However, the Red Devils are not the only ones keeping tabs on Guirassy.

      And Anthony Martial as well as Antony have been poor up front, whereas Jadon Sancho has been axed from the first team after falling out with Ten Hag.
      Guirassy is seen as the perfect solution at United thanks to his 18 goals in 14 appearances across all competitions.
