Erik ten Hag recently spoke to Gary Neville about his efforts to recruit Frenkie de Jong and Harry Kane for Manchester United. Despite being unsuccessful in his attempts during his first two years as manager, ten Hag remains optimistic as he approaches his third year at the helm.
Erik ten Hag expressed his desire to reunite with Frenkie de Jong, emphasizing the need to build and accept talent rather than solely relying on established players. Kane was also identified as a priority target last summer, but negotiations with Tottenham Hotspur were eventually abandoned. Manchester United aimed to avoid a repeat of their prolonged pursuit of De Jong, which ended in a deal with Barcelona but was rejected by the player.
Ten Hag viewed Kane as crucial for the next phase of his project after a successful first season, during which Manchester United finished third in the Premier League and won the Carabao Cup.
