Barcelona midfielder De Jong REJECTS Man Utd: I haven't changed my mind

Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong has rejected fresh Manchester United transfer talk.

Throughout the summer there was much speculation about a hypothetical transfer with United in his sights.

The player explained that during the summer, "I was fine, calm because I knew I wanted to stay at Barça and I haven't changed my mind.

"I have always dreamed of playing for Barça and I want to succeed at Barça.

"I am very happy, comfortable, participating more in the game".

De Jong has relied on all the coaches who have coached him at Barça and he said he feels "happy" about it, adding about Xavi Hernández: "With him I have to continue and improve because every player has the margin to do so.

"Xavi helps me a lot, all the coaches have helped me in some way. With Xavi we look at images, and he helps me."
