Five players whose careers at Man United Ten The Hague can revive
Manchester United have reportedly told new boss Eric ten Haag that they may have to make the most of the players who are already at Old Trafford, despite the Red Devils’ ambitions in the transfer market.
The club is expected to be busy this summer as they seek to improve on their worst season in the Premier League under Ralph Rangnik last term. A number of names, of course, have already been linked to the move to Old Trafford, including Barcelona boss Frankie de Jong.
In fact, the Red Devils made their first attempt to secure the Dutchman’s signature after seeing an initial £ 60m offer rejected by the Catalan giant. While the center of the midfield is clearly a priority for the new United boss, it is also argued that the club’s front line is a position he wants to pay special attention to.

It remains to be seen whether the club will be able to afford significant additions in both divisions, after seemingly dropping out of the race for Darwin Nunes from Benfica – fierce rival Liverpool seems ready to complete the deal for the Uruguayan top. Ten Hag’s plans may be even more frustrated with a decision made by the club’s hierarchy.
According to ESPN, the former Ajax intriguer has been told that he may have to rely on the selection of players who are already in the club for the most part, which may be a little more difficult than previously thought. . United have already lost a large number of players before next season – such as Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic, Edinson Cavani, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard, all leaving after the end of their contracts.
Of course, the options of the “red devils” will be complemented by those who return from renting outside the club. Former Ajax star Donnie van de Beek looks very likely to return to the first team after previously thriving under ten The Hague in Amsterdam.

Meanwhile, questions remain about the future of Anthony Marcial, Brandon Williams and Andreas Pereira, the trio ready to return to Old Trafford after a temporary stay outside the club.
Before his first season at the helm, Ten Hag speculated that he was excited about the prospect of starting work with the current harvest of Old Trafford players. Speaking at his inaugural press conference, he said: “I have just said that I am still in the process of analyzing conclusions.
“I look forward to working with these players. Last season, this team was second in the league, so it has huge potential. I think if we improve, if we can work with them, I think we can get more out of what is the result of this season. “
