After years of chasing him, Ten Hag will get his man now

There are very few talents in the world that would turn down the opportunity to join England's most decorated football club, located in the red side of Manchester. Manchester United have remained a powerful club in their transfer strategy despite their recent unpleasant seasons that have seen them struggle with the signing of some of their primary targets.

The signing of Erik Ten Hag might not be their strongest card in convincing players to join their club as their summer target Frankie De Jong remained persistent throughout the transfer window that a move to Manchester to join his former manager was not possible no matter the amount offered. It was a saga that turned United into a laughingstock but they signed Casemiro and turned things around.
