New Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has ‘made clear’ that his two priority transfer targets in this summer window are Frenkie de Jong and Christian Eriksen.
Both former Ajax stars are at the very top of Ten Hag’s wish-list this summer, as first reported by the Sunday Mirror, and are fundamental to his new project at Old Trafford. The new United coach has explained to the club’s board that each midfielder is crucial to his style of play and has instructed them to secure their dealings.
Barcelona midfielder De Jong is a top transfer priority for Ten Hag and there has been a phone call between the two already held in which the coach outlined the role the player would enjoy under him, as part of a charm offensive to land the player. Reports this weekend outlined how the midfielder has already cleared out his locker at Barca with a move appearing to edge closer.
