Manchester United forgotten man could be big winner from Erik ten Hag appointment

It might have been a dark season for Manchester United fans, but there is light at the end of the tunnel as the club gets closer to beginning a new era under Erik ten Hag. Nobody knows quite what to expect from the 52-year-old in his first few months at Old Trafford, but it is this slight trepidation that also brings with it the excitement of the unknown.

Ten Hag's arrival will not only bring a fresh beginning, but it could also provide the clean slate needed for a number of players to revive their United careers and, in turn, help solve the long list of squad repairs needed at the end of the season.

Ralf Rangnick might outlandishly state that United need as many as ten new signings this summer, but the hard truth is that it is simply not going to happen, particularly not at a club like United where transfer and agent fees are increased as soon as their name comes into discussion.
