Man Utd news: Erik ten Hag wants Steven Bergwijn as first signing after Ajax mission fail | Football | Sport

Tottenham also blocked Bergwijn heading out on loan this past January, but Ten Hag may get his chance to link up with the winger this summer. It is said that Bergwijn would be available for around £20million, which could see Tottenham take a £7m hit on their initial investment.

Ten Hag was also spotted watching on during the international break when Bergwijn netted three times against Denmark and Germany last month. Bergwijn has the ability to play on either wing, but would face strong competition for a starting place at Old Trafford.

Jadon Sancho is almost certain to start every game with Cristiano Ronaldo likely to remain the club’s No 1 striker through the middle. Marcus Rashford has occupied the other flank, but Anthony Elanga’s emergence this season will also put him in contention for more minutes next season while Amad will return from his loan spell at Rangers.
