Manchester United fans have joked that Frenkie de Jong will finally be playing at Old Trafford following their Europa League draw.

Barcelona midfielder De Jong was the subject of a protracted saga over a potential move to United in the summer transfer window but he ended up staying with the Spanish giants.

The Dutchman will now line up against United, and former manager Erik ten Hag, after the two sides were drawn together in the Europa League knockout round play-offs.
