EPL star downplays Manchester United link to his national teammate

Manchester United are a team with so much exciting potential and talents with their new look under Erik Ten Hag who took over during the summer. The club missed out on a top-four finish and a poor outing in Europe as well last season which prompted the change.

The club board in their bid to fully back the new manager invested in signing several top-quality players from different clubs in the summer, the most significant acquisition being the signing of Champions League winner Casemiro from Real Madrid.

The signings have so far come to the party under Erik Ten Hag's guidance, with Lisandro Martinez becoming a guaranteed starter in the defense, while Casemiro and Eriksen run the midfield strings and rhythm of the team during a game.

The attack also saw the addition of Antony Santos from Ajax who was also Erik Ten Hag's former player just like Martinez during his time with Ajax. Although there was an attacking addition United have fallen short in their attacking expectation this season.

WHAT SPOKE ABOUT UNITED'S TRANSFER TARGET?

The exit of Ronaldo this mid-season has also forced the Red Devils into the market for an attacker with PSV Cody Gakpo as their number-one target. Gakpo's national team captain Virgil Van Dijk in a recent interview suggested that his teammate should not place links to both Manchester United and Real Madrid on the same level as they are wide apart while adding that he meant no disrespect at all.
