Manchester United have set their stall out early ahead of this summer’s transfer window, with Erik ten Hag using his contacts to try and resolve a long-standing problem at Old Trafford.
It has of course been a wretched season for the Reds, and as Ten Hag arrives in Manchester, he’ll be tasked with overseeing a major rebuild. It’s clear which area United are targeting first, having identified the midfield as their priority.
With that in mind, Ten Hag looks to have what he believes could be the perfect solution. United have already made their first steps in their pursuit of Frenkie de Jong, with the club having made contact with Barcelona over the availability of the former Ajax star.
