Manchester United is now in desperate need to hit it off this summer. Erik Ten Hag was appointed as the permanent new manager of the Club. Over the years, the club has struggled to live up to its name.
Earlier this summer, Ralf Rangnick who was overseeing the club as interim manager was replaced. Erik Ten Hag guided Ajax to the title in his final game before leaving for the Premier league.
He was appointed, and the Club provided an opportunity to revamp the side. Before moving to a two-year consultancy role.
Erik Ten Hag had ideas to target this transfer window. The former Ajax boss identified Barcelona playmaker Frankie De Jong as a top target.
But the United’s pursuit of Frankie stalled. Despite Erik trying to strike a deal, De Jong was not enthusiastic.
Manchester United’s brutal start in the Premier League
When the Transfer deals were going on, Erik had a brutal introduction to the Premier league. United lost in their opener against Brighton followed by a 4-0 loss against Brentford. This forced Erik and United to change their tactics in the transfer window.
Club first completed three deals – Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez, and Tyrell Malacia. It was clear by then that United needed to recruit more than planned.
Manchester United Shattered their own score of spending in a single transfer window. With deals of Casemiro, Martin Dubravka, and Antony, the spending is estimated at £225.4m. It is more than their previous highest spending, £149.5m in 2014.
United’s decision to ignore Rangnick’s advice to sign Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez. Their stint at Old Trafford left people overwhelmed. United needed to hear the stinging verdict and act on it.
Erik Ten Hag wanted Antony and were striking deals. After a refusal from Ajax, they finally signed Antony for 86m Euro. The deal came in at the deadline of the transfer window.
