Revealed : how ten hag Manchester United army will line up next season with three new signings from Chelsea ,Bayern and two wonder kids from Ajax .
Marco van Basten has urged Erik ten
Hag to make Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech
one of his first signings as Manchester
United manager.
Ten Hag has already started work at Old
Trafford just days after wrapping up the
title with Ajax, insisting 'it's time to turn
the switch now' and get the Red Devils
back on track.
With the Dutchman looking to make
his mark at United from the get go, Holland
legend Van Basten believes a reunion with
one of his former stars could bring success
in his first season in Manchester.
Ziyech was a key player under Ten Hag at
Ajax – which saw them win the Eredivisie
in 2018 – before he was sold to Chelsea for £
33million two years later.
And while the winger has gone on to win
the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup
and Club World Cup with the Blues, the
Moroccan international has struggled to
nail down a starting spot under Tuchel this
season having started just 12 Premier
League games all campaign.
And with the 29-year-old now seemingly
out of favour, Van Basten believes a
reunion with Ten Hag could be hugely
beneficial.
Speaking during Ziggo Sport's 'Rondo'
show on Monday, which featured Ten
Hag as a guest, Van Basten said: ‘What
comes to my mind now is that I think
Ziyech who already plays in England
could be a very good footballer at Manchester
United for Erik.'
However, Ten Hag refused to be drawn
in on the suggestion and insisted that
he knows how to deal with any transfer
speculation at United.
‘Of course this was already the case
at Ajax,’ said Ten Hag.
‘You take that in and then you have to
continue to work well with the dressing
room and with people within the club.
‘You have to analyse well and make
the right choices.’
Ziyech has 14 goals and 10 assists to
his name in 81 appearances for Chelsea
, while he managed 49 goals and 81
assists in 165 games for Ajax.
Ten Hag also confirmed that he has started
his role as Manchester United manager
and that he is already preparing for
next season.
‘I have started working today,’ Ten
Hag said.
‘I already did the first things with
Manchester United today. Tomorrow I
will continue with that.
‘I will stay here. I will meet people from
Manchester here.
‘I will organise the staff, make the
schedule for next season, and prepare
the squad for next season.’
