Mercato: Ten Hag raises the tone for a big number 9

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has expressed his desire to sign a centre-forward this summer.

Like Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich, Manchester United have clearly identified the need to recruit a centre-forward this summer. The three teams are also in competition on several issues. If Bayern Munich attempt to edge out PSG for the signing of England captain Harry Kane, United will be hoping to lure Atalanta’s Dane Rasmus Hojlund.

After the match lost against Real Madrid (0-2), Erik ten Hag sent a clear message. ” Two things: the pressing can be better from the start and score goals. I think we need more players who can go one-on-one. We had the necessary situations. There was (Marcus) Rashford, Scott McTominay and (Alejandro) Garnacho. You have to score. We created very good chances, but we have to be more lucid and score in these situations. We had a few – three or four good chances – but we stayed in the game until the last minute and conceded the second goal.”.

“Busy finding the right player to sign a contract with us”

The Manchester United manager acknowledges, however, that this deal is difficult to finalize. “It’s always hard to see. It’s like looking into a crystal ball, but we’re working 24/7. We’ll do everything in our power to make it happen. NOTWe never talk about players under contract with another club. We have our goals. We are working 24/7, we are busy finding the right player to sign a contract with us”.
