Frenkie de Jong has hinted that his next destination will be Manchester United amid reports that he'll be at Old Trafford next season.
The Barcelona midfielder looks likely to be leaving the Nou Camp in order to enhance Barca's financial position as they aim to bring in signings this summer.
Following his move to Spain from Ajax in 2019, he is yet to hit the heights expected from him from when he was in the Eredivisie.
He is unable to be the 'dictator' in midfield while Sergio Busquets is still going strong, and interest from former gaffer Erik ten Hag could help reignite his career.

The United manager is desperate to land the signing of his former midfield player.
He believes that De Jong will be his key signing at Old Trafford, and a deal is needed to get over the line.
Despite Joan Laporta, Barca president, stating that the Spanish club are doing "everything" to keep the player at the club, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that the deal is "absolutely still on".
Frenkie de Jong's most recent activity on Instagram has suggested that a move could be closing in.
United have had some great Dutch players in their history.
The two which stand out are, of course, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Robin van Persie.
United uploaded an Instagram post on Friday captioned: "Top tier for club and country" with an image of Van Nistelrooy in United colours, and in his national team strip.
It was a standard post on the club's official Instagram post, but many people started to realise that there was something interesting about the post.
De Jong had liked the clubs Instagram post about his fellow countryman, and United fans quickly got excited at the fact that their primary target was liking the post on United's Instagram.
You wouldn't be hard-pressed to find a United supporter would doesn't want to get this deal over and done with.
It is a fanbase which doesn't do well with long transfer sagas, and that's exactly what this is.
Tyrell Malacia is due to complete his medical this weekend and officially sign for the club on Monday.
United supporters will be desperate that he is not the only player that joins the squad before the pre-season tour begins on 8 July.
