Erik ten Hag confirma un secreto sobre el Man Utd después de que Sir Jim Ratcliffe se quedara sin poder ayudar
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has expressed his frustration after the close of the January transfer window. He revealed that the team had been looking for a striker, especially with Anthony Martial’s current injury issues. However, due to financial fair play rules, they were unable to make any signings.
Ten Hag mentioned that they would need to be creative regarding the lack of forward options on the team. He acknowledged the potential of players like Omari Forson and Amad Diallo, as well as the versatility of Marcus Rashford, but emphasized the need for more options in the No. 9 position.
There is anticipation among fans at Old Trafford for a new era, following the acquisition of a 25 per cent stake in the club by Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Despite promises of new investment, it has been clarified that these funds will not be available until the next summer transfer window. Therefore, the team was limited in the January transfer market, and Ten Hag’s hands were tied in terms of making big money signings.
This admission by Ten Hag marks the first time he has publicly confirmed the team’s search for a striker. However, the club can take some comfort in knowing that they were not the only ones facing restrictions, as the combined spending of all 20 Premier League clubs in January was significantly lower than previous years.
