Erik ten Hag’s top priority at Manchester United this summer has to be fixing the club’s recruitment, according to Rio Ferdinand.
United confirmed on Thursday that Ten Hag had agreed to take over as manager on a contract until June 2025, with the option of a further year. The 52-year-old Dutchman will take over the reins from Ralf Rangnick at the end of the season, once he has concluded his work with Ajax.
He will take on a major rebuilding job at Old Trafford, with Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Edinson Cavani, Juan Mata and Nemanja Matic all out of contract in the summer and doubts hanging over several other players. United signed Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane last summer, but will need another injection of new players ahead of the 2022/23 season.
