Incoming Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag appears to have made his first transfer decision at Old Trafford in a move that will disrupt Arsenal ’s transfer plans.
United confirmed the appointment of the Dutchman last month after the 52-year-old met with United bosses in March to talk about becoming their new manager on a permanent basis. The current Ajax coach has signed a contract until June 2025 with an option of a further year.
United have reached out to teenage Reims striker Hugo Ekitike regarding his availability with a view to a summer transfer. The 19-year-old's goalscoring exploits saw Newcastle push to secure his services in the January transfer window and the two clubs reportedly reached an agreement on deadline day after the Magpies matched the asking price but a deal was never concluded.
