Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag has been meticulously planning for the upcoming summer transfer window.
After a season that saw the Red Devils lift the FA Cup and secure a place in next season’s Europa League, Ten Hag is now focused on strengthening the squad for the challenges ahead.
Ten Hag has publicly emphasized the need for a proven goalscorer.
With injuries affecting the forward line, he believes that adding a quality striker would significantly benefit the team.
A world-class striker is reportedly at the top of his wishlist.
The departure of Casemiro and the uncertain futures of Sofyan Amrabat and Christian Eriksen have left a void in the midfield.
Ten Hag aims to sign a new central midfielder who can contribute both defensively and offensively.
- Replacing Raphael Varane:
With Raphael Varane leaving the club, Ten Hag is keen on securing a suitable replacement. A solid center-back is crucial to maintain defensive stability.
Ten Hag has been working closely with the scouting team and staff to finalize the transfer plans.
He expressed confidence in the quality of players already in the squad, including talents like Andre Onana, Rasmus Hojlund, and Lisandro Martinez.
However, Ten Hag remains open to new ideas and better options. The recruitment process will focus on players who match the desired profiles for Manchester United’s playing style.
Despite the positive developments, there remains uncertainty about Ten Hag’s future at Old Trafford.
The final decision on whether he will continue as head coach has not been confirmed yet. However, he remains committed to building a stronger squad for the 2024/2025 season.
