Furious Erik ten Hag performs U-turn and demands three new Man United signings

Posted by

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has reportedly been left furious with the state of his team after the 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Brentford at the weekend.

The Red Devils were absolutely ripped apart by Brentford, with the defence all over the place in a shocking opening 35 minutes.

It seems this has got alarm bells ringing at Man Utd, with new manager Ten Hag back-tracking on his initial plan to give this squad a chance before making wholesale changes, according to the Telegraph.

The report explains that Ten Hag is now eager for the club to deliver three new signings before the end of the summer transfer window.

One of those seems to be Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot, with the report suggesting that MUFC hope the Frenchman can be signed by next Monday, in time for the Liverpool game.

Apart from that, it’s not clear precisely who Ten Hag wants, though another report from The Athletic has stated that a new goalkeeper to challenge David de Gea is on the agenda.

In truth, most fans would probably agree that almost the entire starting XI could do with shipping out and being replaced.

  1. All United have done this Summer is use sticking plasters.
    Eriksen is a good player, but did United need him?
    Martinez is too short, that was always going to be the problem, unless he is played as a defensive midfielder – United would still not have fixed their leaky defence though.
    Malacia could be a good player, although with Shaw, Telles and Williams, was he NEEDED

    United have Fred and Garner as deep lying playmakers. They do not have a defensive midfielder. They have missed out on Bissouma (now at Tottenham) and did not make a move (unless un reported) for Ibrahim Sangare of PSV. Do they think they can play McTominay in that position and get away with it? Rabiot will bring experience and TROUBLE, with little quality.

    As for strikers, there has been no recent mention of Moussa Dembele. His contract expires next year and Lyon could be open for a deal. However, a proven miss firing Spaniard (Morata) and a troublesome Argentinian (Icardi) are seemingly targets.

    Not sure who is driving the United ship (Arnold and Murtough), but they need to be sacked.
