As Erik ten Hag draws a line under his time at Ajax, there’ll no doubt be a collective sigh of relief among Manchester United fans as he nears his arrival at Old Trafford. We could be just a matter of days away from seeing the 52-year-old arrive in Manchester, and he’ll have quite the to-do list waiting for him on his desk, but the question is, where does he start?
United are clearly in need of some new faces this summer. Even when putting the glut of players heading for the exit door to one side, this season has exposed an alarming lack of quality in a number of positions that will need addressing.
But even if the club were to break from tradition and go on a wild shopping spree, bringing in the 10 new arrivals Ralf Rangnick has suggested they need, Ten Hag will still have plenty of players left over from the current crop. And they certainly don’t paint the picture of a happy camp.
