Erik ten Hag wants to sign new players for Manchester United

No one, not even the most recalcitrant Manchester United fan, can deny that the Red Devils' season has been very bad, if not disastrous. During the first half of the 2023/24 season, the Old Trafford outfit have failed to reflect the greatness that was a hallmark of Sir Alex Ferguson's side many years ago. And although the campaign is still a long way off, United are already eliminated from the Champions League and are far from the top in the Premier League.

That is why, for many fans of the club, the Old Trafford board should sack Erik ten Hag, who despite having a huge amount of money at his disposal, seems not to have chosen the right players for the team and instead has made decisions that many still regret today, such as the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo who, in contrast to United, finished 2023 as the top scorer in professional football with 53 goals.

However, despite the fact that many no longer want the Dutch tactician in charge of the team, it seems that the Manchester United board will keep him in the job, at least until the end of the season. In fact, due to the poor results and the inconsistent level of play that the team has shown throughout the season, there is talk that during the winter transfer window, the Red Devils could make several additions to their squad and there is already talk of names that many fans are excited about.

Firstly, Sky Sports have confirmed that Manchester United are joining other Premier League sides such as Liverpool in a bid to sign Joshua Kimmich from Bayern Munich. The report claims that Erik ten Hag's side have their sights set on the talented German player, although it is not certain that they will make an offer for him in the winter transfer window. However, he is not the only great player that the Red Devils have in their sights, as there is talk of a world champion in whom there would also be interest.

Dybala to Manchester United?

According to Metro UK, Argentinian 2022 Qatar World Cup winner Paulo Dybala is one of the targets Erik ten Hag has in mind to strengthen Manchester United. The AS Roma player in Serie A is 30 years old, but he is still very talented and is currently valued at 25 million euros by Transfermarkt.
