Breaking news: Manchester United board promise to sign 5 key players for ten hag as he promise massive overhaul ,three deals sealed already

 Ten Hag, who is currently in 

charge of Ajax, has spent the majority

 of his coaching career in the Netherlands

 and has an extensive knowledge 

of players in the Eredivisie.

While United are reportedly wary 

of signing Eredivisie-based players 

due to the struggles of Depay

 and Donny van de Beek, the 

manager will have the final say

 on any transfers.

We’ve taken a look at five Eredivisie

 players that Ten Hag could try and 

bring to Old Trafford in the summer

. Note: we’ve not included Ryan 

 or Noussair Mazraoui, who have 

been linked with United but look 

set to join Bayern Munich on free

 transfers. 

Antony

Despite giving Borussia Dortmund

 £73million for Jadon Sancho last 

summer, United are still looking 

for the solution to their right-

wing problem.

Alongside Anthony Elanga, Anthony

 Martial and Marcus Rashford, Sancho’s

 best performances in a United 

shirt have come from the left flank.

Ten Hag reportedly wants to fill 

United’s right-wing void with Antony

, who has spent the last two seasons 

at Ajax and is valued at around

 £50million.

The 22-year-old Brazil international

 has been in brilliant form for Ajax

 throughout 2021-22, registering 

12 goals and 10 assists in 33 appearances

 in all competitions.

He would likely be a fan favourite

 at Old Trafford owing to his excellent

 dribbling ability and could help United

 unlock Premier League defences.

“We all miss him,” Ten Hag said 

in April 2022 after Antony spent a 

few weeks on the sidelines. “Without

 Antony, it is all a bit less fast and 

dynamic on the right, which also makes

 it more difficult for the team. Then 

the spaces become a lot smaller.”

Cody Gakpo

Ten Hag and Gakpo have been on opposing

 sides for the last four years but that 

could be about to change.

Gakpo made his senior PSV Eindhoven

 debut in 2018 and has since developed

 into one of the most exciting and 

dangerous forwards in Europe.

The Netherlands international can 

play as a centre-forward but mainly 

operates as a winger and would give

 United another goal threat from 

out wide.

He’s currently enjoying his best-

ever season on an individual level and

 has registered 34 direct goal contributions

, including the winner against Ten

 Hag’s Ajax in the KNVB Cup final.

“You have to defend much better, 

you can never let Gakpo come in,

 that’s where his qualities lie,” Ten 

Hag said after the game. “There are 

two people standing by, you have 

to keep him on the left.”

But Ten Hag will have to act quickly

 if he wants to bring Gakpo to Old 

Trafford as the 22-year-old has also 

been linked with Arsenal, Liverpool

 and Manchester City.

Jurrien Timber

The second Ajax player to feature 

on this list, Timber has thrived under

 Ten Hag’s leadership and could follow

 the manager to Old Trafford.

“Ten Hag has been very important to 

me personally,” the 20-year-old said 

recently. “Under him, I became the 

footballer, the man I am today. The 

coach talked to me a lot. He’s been 

very critical, in a good, constructive 

way. I won’t forget that anytime soon.”

He’s regarded as one of Europe’s 

most sought-after defenders and has

 enjoyed a brilliant season at Ajax,

 registering 25 clean sheets in 41 

appearances across all competitions

 in 2021-22.

The centre-back, who can also cover

 at right-back, has been compared 

to fellow Ajax academy graduate 

Matthijs de Ligt and is renowned 

for his ability on the ball.

United have conceded 52 goals in 

36 Premier League games this season

 but Ten Hag reportedly believes that

 Timber can fix their defensive concerns.

The Netherlands international could

 be signed as a direct replacement for

 Harry Maguire, who has been heavily

 criticised for his poor performances

 in recent months. 

Tyrell Malacia

While Luke Shaw enjoyed a brilliant

 2020-21 at club and international

 level, his form has dropped off 

significantly this season.

According to the Daily Mirror, Ten

 Hag believes that left-back is another

 problem area for United and has 

identified Feyenoord’s Tyrell Malacia.

Ten Hag tried to bring the 22-year-

old to Ajax last summer but Feyenoord

 resisted the move because of the rivalry

 between the two sides.

Malacia likes to drive forward with

 his blistering pace and provide an 

attacking outlet, but he is also renowned

 for his tenacious defending.

“Every winger will have a headache

 the night before playing against

 Malacia,” former Feyenoord manager

 Giovanni van Bronckhorst said.

 “He is quick, agile and [has] a 

great work ethic.”

United reportedly sent scouts to 

watch the left-back during Feyenoord’s

 recent 3-2 victory over Marseille 

and they could be able to sign him 

for a fee in the region of £20million.

Ibrahim Sangare

With Nemanja Matic set to leave 

Old Trafford at the end of the season

, United are in desperate need of 

a new central defensive midfielder.

The Red Devils have been heavily 

linked with Declan Rice but West Ham’s 

£150million asking price will be a 

major stumbling block.

United may have to look for cheaper

 alternatives and would only need to 

spend around £30million to sign 

 from PSV Eindhoven.

The Ivory Coast international, 

who is reportedly attracting interest

 from Leicester City, has been one 

of PSV’s best and most consistent 

performers in 2021-22.

He helps shield their defence and 

has averaged 3.5 tackles and 2.6 

interceptions per 90 minutes in 

the Eredivisie this season.
