Breaking news: Manchester United board promise to sign 5 key players for ten hag as he promise massive overhaul ,three deals sealed already
Ten Hag, who is currently in c’harge of Ajax, has spent the majority of his coaching career in the Netherlan’ds and has an ext’ensive knowledge of players in the Erediv’isie.
While United are repo’rtedly wary of signing Eredivisie-based players due to the struggles of De’pay and Donny van de Beek, the manager will have the final say on any tra’nsfers. We’ve taken a look at five Eredivisie players that Ten Hag coul’d try and
bring to Old Trafford in the su’mmer. Note: we’ve not included Ryan or Noussair Mazraoui, who have been link’ed with United but look set to join Bayern Munich on free transfers. An’tony Despite gi’ving Borussia Dortmund £73million for Jadon Sancho last su’mmer, United are still looking for the solution to their right-wing probl’em.
Alongside Anthony Elanga, Anthony Mar’tial and Marcus Rashford, Sancho’s best performances in a Unit’ed shirt have come from the left flank. Ten Hag reportedly wants to fill U’nited’s right-wing void with Antony, who has spent the last two sea’sons at Ajax and is valued at around £50million.
The 22-year-old Brazil interna’tional has been in brilliant form for Ajax throughout 2021-22, registering 12 g’oals and 10 assists in 33 appearances in all competitions. ‘He would l’ikely be a fan favourite at Old Trafford owing to his excellent dribbling ab’ility and could help United unlock Premier League defences.
“We all miss him,” Ten Hag said in A’pril 2022 after Antony spent a few weeks on the sidelines. “Without Ant’ony, it is all a bit less fast and dynamic on the right, which also ma’kes it more difficult for the team. Then the spaces become a lot sm’aller.”Cody Gakpo
Ten Hag and Gakpo have been on oppos’ing sides for the last four years but that could be about to cha’nge. ‘Ge’kpo made his senior PSV Eindhove debut in 2018 and has since dev’eloped into one of the most exciting and dangerous forwards in Eu’rope.
The Netherlands international can p’lay as a centre-forward but mainly operates as a winger and would give Uni’ted another goal threat from out wide.He’s currently enjoying his best-e’ver season on an individual level and has registered 34 direct goal contrib’utions, including the winner against Ten Hag’s Ajax in the KNVB Cup fin’al.
“You have to defend much better, y’ou can never let Gakpo come in, that’s where his qualities lie,” Ten Ha’g said after the game. “There are two people standing by, you have to ke’ep him on the left.”
But Ten Hag will have to act quickly if he wa’nts to bring Gakpo to Old Trafford as the 22-year-old ha’s also
been linked with Arsenal, Liverpool and Man’chester City. Jurrien Timber The second Ajax player to feature on this list, Tim’ber has thrived under Ten Hag’s leadership and could follow the ma’nager to Old Trafford.
“Ten Hag has been very important to me person’ally,” the 20-year-old said recently. “Under him, I became t foo’tballer, the man I am today. The coach talked to me a lot. He’s been very cri’tical, in a good, constructive way. I won’t forget that anytime so’on.”
He’s regarded as one of Europe’s m’ost sought-after defenders and has enjoyed a brilliant season at Ajax, regi’stering 25 clean sheets in 41 appearances across all competitions in 20’21-22.
The centre-back, who can also cover at ri’ght-back, has been compared to fellow Ajax academy graduate Ma’tthijs de Ligt and is renowned for his ability on the ball.
United have conceded 52 goals in 36 Pre’mier League games this season but Ten Hag reportedly believes tha Tim’ber can fix their defensive concerns.The Netherlands international co’uld be signed as a direct replacement for Harry Mag’uire, who has be’en heavily criticised for his poor performances in recent months. Tyrell Ma’lacia
While Luke Shaw enjoyed a bri’lliant 20_20-21 at club and international level, his form has dropped off signif’icantly this season.According to the Daily Mirror, Ten Hag believes that left-ba’ck is another problem area for United and has identified Feyenoord’s Tyre’ll Malacia.
Ten Hag tried to bring the 22-year-old to Ajax la’st summer but Feyenoord resisted the move because of the riva’lry between the two sides.
Malacia likes to drive forward with his blist’ering pace and provide an attacking outlet, but he is also renowne for his te’nacious defending.“Every winger will have a hea’dache
the night before playing against Mal’acia,” former Feyenoord manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst said. “He is q’uick, agile and [has] a great work ethic.”
United reportedly sent scouts to watch th’e left-back during Feyenoord’s recent 3-2 victory over Marseille and they cou’ld be able to sign him for a fee in the region of £20million Ibrahim San’gare W’ith Nemanja Matic set to leave Old Trafford at the end of the season, Uni’ted are in desperate need of a new central defensive midfi’elder.
The Red Devils have been heavily linked wi’th Declan Rice but West Ham’s £150million asking price will be a m’ajor stumbling block.United may have to look for cheaper alternatives an’d would only need to spend around £30million to sign from PSV Eind’hoven.
The Ivory Coast international, who is repo’rtedly attracting interest from Leicester City, has been one of PSV’s best a’nd most consistent performers in 2021-22.He helps shie’ld their defence and has averaged 3.5 tackles and 2.6 interceptions per 90 mi’nutes in the Eredivisie this season.
