Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag’s response when asked about De Jong and Eriksen transfers | Football | Sport
United are currently embarking on a pre-season tour of Thailand, where Ten Hag faced the press in Bangkok on Monday afternoon. The former Ajax boss has yet to take charge of a match for the Red Devils, although a friendly against Liverpool in the capital on Tuesday will see him scrutinised ahead of the new campaign.
In the background, deals for De Jong and Eriksen are reportedly close. And while Ten Hag admitted he is keen on signing players in midfield, he refused to confirm whether De Jong and Eriksen were the specific targets he is seeking as United aim to rebuild from last season’s paltry sixth-placed finish.
“We want to have the right players,” Ten Hag admitted in his press conference. “We have a really good squad, we’re working on developing our way of play and if the opportunity is there, we will strike.
