New Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will seemingly need to appearance elsewhere in his quest to reinforce his midfield, with Borussia Dortmund slamming close any possibility of promoting Jude Bellingham this summer time.
The Dutchman has been formally showed as the brand new United boss on a three-yr deal, that is problem to a global clearance. He turns into the very best-incomes Dutch manager in Premier League history, reportedly incomes £a hundred and sixty,000 per week.
And with that £eight.32m a 12 months income, Ten Hag – and No 2 Mitchell van der Gaag – will be expected to get United upwardly mobile again.
Clearly he has a main rebuilding task to do. Tuesday night time’s humiliating 4-0 defeat at Liverpool illustrates precisely how a long way behind they're to Jurgen Klopp’s side. And Roy Keane was brief to position the boot in to explain exactly how far they've fallen.
To kick things off, Ten Hag is anticipated to show the door to a number of first-team regulars. As in line with Thursday’s Transfer Gossip, the brand new United boss will wave off six stars on the give up in their present day contracts.
The listing could be headed via Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic and Juan Mata – three gamers who price United £166.3m. Following them out the door may be Jesse Lingard, Lee Grant and Edinson Cavani.
However, the brutal culling will no longer stop there with Ten Hag reportedly set to awl up to six more stars. As in keeping with the Daily Mirror, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Alex Telles, Eric Bailly, Phil Jones and Anthony Martial will also be placed up for sale.
And perhaps most enormously, Ten Hag also is likewise reportedly open to offers for Marcus Rashford. The England guy has struggled badly this season and interim boss Ralf Rangnick has already left open the possibillity of his departure.
Those wholesale adjustments will no longer cease there both. The paper claims the United boss could have a £200m warchest at his disposal as he looks to bolster United’s aspect.
One location key to Ten Hag’s questioning is probably to be the midfield. Rangnick quick outlined that as an area of weak point – and Ten Hag is seemingly keen to draft in new blood.
