Man Utd Transfer News: Erik ten Hag‘s Latest Signing Plans

Manchester United‘s new manager Erik ten Hag is set to make his first signing in the transfer market. The Dutchman has been tasked with revamping the Red Devils’ squad after a disappointing season under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick.

Top Target: Frenkie de Jong

One of Ten Hag’s top targets is Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong. The 25-year-old Dutch international played under Ten Hag at Ajax and has been identified as a key player in the new manager’s plans.

De Jong has struggled to establish himself at Barcelona since his £65million move from Ajax in 2019. He has made 144 appearances for the Catalan giants, scoring 13 goals and providing 17 assists.

Other Targets

Alongside De Jong, Ten Hag is also targeting other players to strengthen the Manchester United squad. These include:

• Antony: The 22-year-old Brazilian winger has been impressive for Ajax under Ten Hag and could be a potential replacement for Jadon Sancho.
• Matthijs de Ligt: The 22-year-old Dutch defender has been linked with a move to Manchester United. He currently plays for Juventus and could provide competition for Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane.
• Christian Eriksen: The 30-year-old Danish midfielder is set to leave Brentford at the end of the season. He has been linked with a move to Manchester United, where he could provide depth in the midfield.

Outgoings

As Ten Hag looks to revamp the Manchester United squad, several players are expected to leave the club. These include:

• Paul Pogba: The 29-year-old French midfielder is set to leave Manchester United at the end of the season. He has been linked with a return to Juventus.
• Edinson Cavani: The 35-year-old Uruguayan striker is expected to leave Manchester United this summer. He has been linked with a move to Boca Juniors.
• Jesse Lingard: The 29-year-old English midfielder is set to leave Manchester United at the end of the season. He has been linked with a move to West Ham United.

Conclusion

Erik ten Hag‘s first signing plans at Manchester United are set to be revealed in the coming weeks. With Frenkie de Jong as his top target, Ten Hag is looking to strengthen the Red Devils’ squad ahead of the new season.
