Erik ten Hag’s potential Manchester United XI, featuring four new signings and no Cristiano Ronaldo

Posted by

Manchester United could reportedly be set to make sweeping changes to their team this summer, starting with Erik ten Hag coming in as manager.

The Dutch tactician has done fine work at Ajax, and seems to be preparing to take over at Old Trafford, according to the Daily Mirror, with a double raid on his current club possibly being lined up.

The report claims Man Utd could bring in Ajax duo Antony and Jurrien Timber this summer if Ten Hag takes over as manager, while other transfer rumours have also been doing the rounds.

Unsurprisingly, Tottenham striker Harry Kane is once again being talked up as a top target for the Red Devils, with ESPN claiming they could try offering Anthony Martial to Spurs to try to get the deal done.

It’s not exactly clear if Ten Hag himself is a huge fan of Kane, but The Athletic have also claimed that the club plan to target the England front-man whoever ends up becoming their new manager.

United also urgently need to strengthen in midfield, so it’s not surprising to see Leicester City’s Youri Tielemans linked with the club by Team Talk.

The Belgium international could be a useful addition to replace Paul Pogba as he nears the end of his contract, while Kane and Anthony would slot in well up front.

Timber looks a promising young talent who may already be good enough to replace the struggling Harry Maguire and form a new-look partnership with Raphael Varane.

Overall, this potential XI for Ten Hag looks very promising, and could help MUFC get closer to being where they want to be again.

It doesn’t leave much room for Cristiano Ronaldo, however, with the Portugal international surely no longer likely to be a regular starter next season, when he’ll turn 38. Whether or not he’s ready to accept less of a key role, however, remains to be seen.

  1. Man utd are taking too long to appoint Erik ten hag , just give him the job he is the right man for the job or else convince Thomas Tuchel from Chelsea am Tabuley from Uganda a man utd fan

  2. Give Ten Hag the job and time to rebuild his new empire to dominate both English and European football at large .He is a copy of Pep Guardiola ,he is a genius .He just needs to be given full control like they did with Sir Alex Ferguson ,he needs to be fully backed by the board ..He is the only master piece we need to gain our fallen dorminance

  3. I dont see Erik can do the job to our satisfaction, utd should please go for Machini

  4. Man utd should appoint Ten Hag and sign a striker and a central defender. Frank H Kawinga Mzimba,
    Malawi

  5. Am not convinced with Erik because the Holland league is not a premier league. The right man for the job is Louis Hendrique because he has all the necessary qualities to bring back the lost glory to Man it.

  6. Hmm let’s see what he’ll bring to this team. But he has definitely done well with Ajax

  7. For now I think Eric ten Hag is the right man.If possible they must appoint him before end of campaign so that good players get attracted. He will need atleast 5 players to succeed taking into consideration Pogba is leaving.

    Man united have to bring either erik or zidane but more especially is zidane reason being according to my own opinion he is acoach who knws every trophies in all competition he can lift man united 4rom nothing to samthing but he have to make some changes in da following position which are natural players number 5,6,8,9 then he will perform best than ever and what man united is lucking this time is leadership

  9. After appointing Ten Hag, man u should go for players like Darwin Nunez, Anthony, Timber, tielemans to compete in the modern football
