Erik ten Hag is making plans for next season.
The Dutchman has been in charge for over six months and has already won his first trophy as Manchester United manager. Fans left Wembley on Sunday believing this is just the start of the journey with Ten Hag because they believe he will deliver more trophies in good time.
Winning a trophy this season was one of our objectives this season. The other one is to finish in the top four, which we are on course to achieve, so you get the feeling that expectations are on the rise again at Old Trafford.
According to the Manchester Evening News, Ten Hag wants at least two significant signings in the summer to maintain United’s momentum because next season he will be expected to challenge for the Premier League title.
The report claims Ten Hag wants a new goalscorer and is also pushing for a midfield reinforcement. United could also recruit a centre back to bolster their defence if captain Harry Maguire leaves.
Ten Hag is open to a second pursuit of Frenkie de Jong amid ongoing financial issues at Barcelona, and the Dutch midfielder performed well at Old Trafford when United beat Barcelona 2-1 in the Europa League.
Victor Osimhen and Harry Kane are the top big name strikers named in the article, which also includes a list of forwards such as Goncalo Ramos and Mohammed Kudus.
It is noted that Ten Hag believes Ajax youngster Kudus has the attributes to excel in the Premier League.
Hopefully, we can keep Wout Weghorst as a backup option because he’s a very useful option to have in the squad.
