New Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has encouraged his players to rediscover their self-belief and the form that propelled them to a top two finish just over a year ago.
Ten Hag is busy trying to add new recruits to his squad. Under the Dutchman’s instruction, United are closing in on a deal to sign Netherlands midfielder Frenkie de Jong with an initial transfer fee agreed with Barcelona for £56.2million. They are also close to a £14million deal to land De Jong’s Netherlands international teammate Tyrell Malacia – Feyenoord’s left-back.
Ajax forward Antony is also high up Ten Hag’s radar with the boss keen to reunite with the 22-year-old while his teammate Lisandro Martinez is also on United’s shortlist as they look to bolster their defensive options.
