Manchester City set the standard in the Premier League and Manchester United are striving to reach their level with Erik ten Hag.
The gulf in quality between the two sides was emphasised by the team's respective options on the bench in the FA Cup final last weekend. Ten Hag would love a striker of Julian Alvarez's quality, for example, but he's been stuck with Wout Weghorst.
Weghorst was a stop-gap loan signing in January and the club has no intention to make a permanent offer for him, unsurprisingly.
