De Boer: Barcelona playing De Jong out of position

Former Ajax coach Frank de Boer says Barcelona are playing Frenkie de Jong out of position.

The midfielder left Ajax last summer for Barca.

And Atlanta coach De Boer says: "I saw the last game of Barcelona and Frenkie was almost playing as a forward. That is not his position.

"You need to play in the centre or as a controller.

"I don't know what (Ernesto) Valverde wants to do with him. "(Sergi) Busquets is aging but can still handle the field."
