'February 23, I guess': Frenkie de Jong's girlfriend trolls Man United fans who keep asking 'when he is coming to Manchester' by noting Barcelona's upcoming Europa League trip to Old Trafford - after he rejected a move last summer

Frenkie de Jong's girlfriend, Mikky Kiemeney, taunted Manchester United fans on her Instagram account, seeming to poke fun at the club's failed pursuit of the Dutch star last summer.

Kiemeney was asked on her Instagram account when De Jong would be making the switch to the Premier League, but she instead pointed to the club's upcoming Europa League date with Barcelona on February 23.

De Jong was Erik ten Hag's prime target in last summer's transfer window, with the former Ajax boss keen to reunite with one of his former charges.

However, despite protracted negotiations and talks, the deal never materialised, with the player keen to remain at the Nou Camp - despite his club seemingly prepared to part with their star.
