Erik ten Hag provides update on Man United January transfer plans

Despite Manchester United’s stuttering start to the Premier League campaign, manager Erik ten Hag is not expecting reinforcements this January transfer window.

The Dutch coach arrived from the Netherlands last summer, and although his main target, Frenkie de Jong, could not be prised away from Barcelona, the club has backed him considerably.

Since Ten Hag’s arrival, Manchester United have made significant outlays, bringing in the likes of Antony, Rasmus Hojlund, Andre Onana, Casemiro and Mason Mount.

Despite the big spending, however, the Manchester United squad still leaves a lot to be desired, but Ten Hag does not expect the club to open the kitty this winter transfer window.

 “I don’t think we will sign players - and if so, the approach from United should be that if you can improve your team, then you should do so,” he told @AndyMitten, per Fabrizio Romano.

 “What we expect from every player is for them to give their best.”

Meanwhile, Manchester United a lot of difficulties in covering the salaries of important players and balancing the roles of both the players and the manager in the team's recent performances. We review the costly problem of underperforming players at the club.
