Erik ten Hag on United's Transfer Plans

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag anticipates the 2024/25 season will be a 'survival of the fittest' due to high player workloads and rising fitness concerns. Despite finishing eighth in the Premier League, United won the FA Cup last season and have strengthened their squad with new signings Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro. Ten Hag has challenged Marcus Rashford to regain his form after a disappointing season and expressed a need for further signings, targeting players like Bayern Munich's Noussair Mazraoui and Matthijs De Ligt. United are also eyeing Benfica's Antonio Silva and Sporting Lisbon's Morten Hjulmand to bolster the squad. The club has revamped its recruitment team, with key additions expected to improve transfer success rates.
