Erik ten Hag facing losing battle to salvage Man Utd's £250m transfer nightmare

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is discovering he's got his work cut-out trying to get a tune out of some of the players signed by predecessor Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The Dutchman has overseen an impressive turnaround in form after a shaky start to the season and morale around Old Trafford is the best it's been for quite some time. With that being said, not every player is pulling their weight under Ten Hag's guidance and he has an issue on his hands trying to get them operating at the required level.

So far, Ten Hag's transfer market prowess has proved impressive. He signed off on deals for Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez, Christian Eriksen, Antony and Casemiro with all five so far proving to be a successful purchase. Deputy goalkeeper Martin Dubravka was the sixth signing of the summer and is yet to actually make an appearance for the club.
