Man Utd target Frenkie de Jong forced to MISS Euro 2024 with injury as boss angrily blasts Barcelona for ‘taking risks’ [Video]

NETHERLANDS star Frenkie de Jong has been ruled out of the Euros to leave national boss Ronald Koeman furious.

The 27-year-old midfielder, a long-term transfer target for Manchester United, has suffered a number of ankle issues this term.

His last appearance came in the 3-2 El Clasico defeat at Real Madrid on April 21 but he has been battling to prove his fitness ahead of the tournament.

Dutch boss Ronald Koeman still included him in his final Euro 2024 squad despite his injury problems.

De Jong then spent last week doing individual work before attempting to join in a full session with his team-mates for the first time on Sunday.

However, after examinations yesterday by doctors, it has been deemed that he will not be ready in time for his country.
