Erik Ten Hag’s task is immense, and the Dutchman intends to put all the chances on his side to get there. Appointed in place of Ralf Rangnick, the former Ajax Amsterdam player has the mission of restoring Manchester United to its lost greatness since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013. For this, he intends to rely on a transfer window ambitious. In his sights since the opening of the latter, Frenkie De Jong, the midfielder of Barça with whom he had reached the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2019 during a crazy epic with the Ajacides. But the technician would also follow another player from the Blaugrana side.
A versatile striker
According to information from Daily Express, he would be interested in another Dutchman, in this case Memphis Depay. Recruited at the time by Ronald Koeman, meanwhile sacked, the former Olympique Lyonnais no longer really enjoys the confidence of Xavi Hernandez, he who has only one year of contract left in Spain. A situation which pushes its leaders to place it on the transfer list, with the hope of selling it rather than seeing it leave for free in a year. Erik Ten Hag wants to incorporate into his group a versatile striker in the profile of Depay, who already wore the Red Devils jersey between 2015 and 2017, never really found his place. Five years later, he could try his luck again in the north of England, it remains to be seen how much Barca set his price, and whether Manchester United accept him.
to summarize
Manchester United could try to sign Memphis Depay from Barca, while the Red Devils still hope to one day complete the Frenkie de Jong file. The latter has been stopped for long weeks in Spain.
