Barca travelled to Manchester yesterday and got a look at their new surroundings during a training session.

And De Jong may well have wondered what might have been as he trudged out into the famous arena, having been heavily pursued by United last summer.

The LaLiga leaders posted a short clip on Instagram of their man stepping out at the Theatre of Dreams.

And United fans couldn’t help but notice.

One wrote: “Just checking out his new home for next year.”

A second tweeted: “Oh yeah, he’s definitely thinking about it.”

While a third commented: “Finally home.”

And a fourth added: “He knows this will be his future home.”

De Jong, 25, is claimed to have repeatedly turned the Red Devils down, determined to stay at Barcelona.

And things have so far worked out well for both parties.

Although they dropped out of the Champions League into the Europa League, domestically Barca sit eight points clear at the top of LaLiga.

Man United, meanwhile, have enjoyed a great resurgence under De Jong’s former Ajax boss Erik ten Hag.

The Red Devils moved on from De Jong to splash £70million on Casemiro, with the Brazilian having been a revelation.

United are set to return to the Champions League next season, and sit only five points off the top of the Premier League.
