Five players whose races Man Utd ten Hag can relive
Manchester United have reportedly told new boss Erik ten Hag that they may need to get the best out of players already at Old Trafford despite the Red Devils’ ambitions in the transfer market.
The club is expected to be busy this summer as it aims to improve on its worst Premier League season under Ralf Rangnick last season. Of course, several names have already been linked to a change at Old Trafford: the head of the Barcelona star, Frenkie de Jong, among them.
In fact, the Red Devils have made their first attempt to get the Dutchman’s signature after rejecting an initial offer of £ 60 million for the Catalan giants. While the midfield is clearly a priority for the new United coach, it is also stated that the club’s front line is a position to which he wants to pay special attention.

It remains to be seen whether the club will be able to afford significant additions to the two departments after being left out of the race by Darwin Núñez of Benfica, a fierce rival, Liverpool, who are ready to complete a deal for the Uruguayan. Ten Hag’s plans could be further thwarted by a decision by the club’s hierarchy.
According to ESPN, the former Ajax programmer has been told that he may have to rely on the selection of players who are already at the club for the most part, which may be a little more difficult than previously thought. United have already lost a lot of players for next season: like Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic, Edinson Cavani, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard, they will all leave at the end of their contracts.
Of course, the Red Devils’ options will be complemented by those coming back from off-club loan periods. Ajax star Donny van de Beek looks likely to return to the first-team squad after thriving with ten Hags in Amsterdam.

Meanwhile, there will be questions about the future of Anthony Martial, Brandon Williams and Andreas Pereira: the trio are ready to return to Old Trafford after a temporary stay away from the club.
Prior to his first season in office, Ten Hag has suggested he is excited about the prospect of starting work with the current crop of players at Old Trafford. Speaking at the press conference, he said: “I have just said that I am still in the process of drawing conclusions.
“I’m looking forward to working with these players. Last season, this squad was second in the league, so there’s a lot of potential. I think if we improve, if we can work with them, I think we can get more out of what is now. the result of this season “.
