Issues have been wanting a bit brighter for Erik ten Hag and Man United of late, provided that the Dutchman has landed his switch targets and the workforce seem to have some coherence about them.
After a season the place the Crimson Devils had been dogged by accidents to key gamers, the membership can sit up for 2024/25 hopefully being a extra profitable marketing campaign to assist banish the recollections of some embarrassing performances too.

As the very best earner on the membership on £350,000 per week in accordance with Capology, clearly rather more was anticipated of a participant that was a shell of the one which they’d purchased from Spanish league giants, Actual Madrid.
Certainly, the extent of his performances had dipped to such a level, that it was believed {that a} transfer to the Saudi Professional League was going to be his solely potential choice this summer season.
With time working out within the present switch window, that’s extremely unlikely to occur now, however as The Solar report, ten Hag doesn’t truly need to promote the participant anymore.

That absolutely means there needs to be a query mark too as to why the membership are apparently nonetheless excited by Manuel Ugarte, until Paris Saint-Germain’s defensive midfielder is prepared to maneuver to the Premier League solely to play second-fiddle to Casemiro, or until ten Hag decides he desires to play with a double pivot which might fully change the best way United play.
It’s one other head scratcher from ten Hag, who’ll stay or die by his selections over the subsequent couple of months.
