Official confirmation broke this week regarding an announcement we had been expecting, Erik ten Hag’s contract extension. There was no way Manchester United would enter this coming season with just one year left on Ten Hag’s deal. That just wasn’t practical, and would leave the Dutchman vulnerable.

One highly rated Eredivisie midfielder is being encouraged to wait for a better offer as Brighton close in on his services. Since the arrival of Erik ten Hag back in 2022, the Red Devils have signed no fewer than seven players who either worked with the former Ajax boss or came up against him in the Eredivisie.

Recent years have been trickier though with United throwing so many darts at the board and not quite hitting success.
