The midfielder was managed by Erik ten Hag throughout their time collectively at Ajax. The centre-midfielder joined Barcelona in 2019. He has played 140 situations for the Spanish giants around the earlier a few strategies.
Sheringham does not feel De Jong would get games “by the scruff of the neck” as a Male Utd participant.
Alternatively, the club legend has referred to as for United to buy Declan Rice or Harry Kane as they would be “statement” signings:
“He’s a big identify but I do not believe he is one particular that is heading to set the planet alight at United and genuinely come in and grab it by the scruff of the neck,” Sheringham claimed (estimates by way of The Everyday Mail).
“If they’d have gone out and broken the lender for Declan Rice or Harry Kane – I know West Ham and Spurs admirers are likely to castigate me again for declaring this type of issue – but that is what you have received to do to make a assertion.
“Ten Hag has obtained 1 hell of a job on his fingers to alter the vibe of the dressing area all around but signings like that would adjust the whole ethos of wherever Man United are going.
“The signings that they’ve produced are alright at best… and that is how lovers will see it as effectively.”
Sheringham went on to persuade Man Utd to provide Cristiano Ronaldo this summer time so they can “get in two or 3 players”.
The ahead returned to United very last summer season but he intends to leave before future year if a appropriate bid comes in.
Sheringham additional: “I half noticed it coming. People are saying shall Ten Hag create his team close to Ronaldo, but if he needs to go he goes. That opens up a whole new corridor for United.
“You could get in two or a few gamers on that sort of wage and that is a whole lot of revenue they could shell out each individual thirty day period.
“Life goes on, he desires to go and participate in somewhere else so get players in that you know who are likely to be strong and steady all through the year.”
