Erik ten Hag is using a transfer tactic that's worked for him before in Manchester United striker hunt

While Manchester United are yet to make their first signing of the summer transfer window, manager Erik ten Hag is sure to be busy.

The Reds boss is embarking on his second summer window at Old Trafford following a successful first season in charge. United largely performed above expectation as they wrapped up a first trophy in six years following their Carabao Cup victory over Newcastle, achieved a top-four finish in the Premier League to secure Champions League football next season and made it to the FA Cup final, where they were beaten by bitter rivals Manchester City.

It has been an encouraging first year at the helm for Ten Hag, who has transformed the form of players such as Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford, while also making astute acquisitions in the transfer market. Last summer, Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen, Casemiro, Antony and Lisandro Martinez all arrived on permanent deals in an overhaul of Ten Hag's squad.
