Ten Hag has invested over £600million on brand-new-made players given that signing upward via Man Utd in the summertime of 2022.
The Dutchman’s record signing is Antony from his former club Ajax, spending around £80m on the Brazilian winger, who has been a immense discontentment at Ratty Trafford.
His transfer ideology leans in the standard of signing players via Eredivisie dumbfound and it’s even better if he has taken care of them at some factor.

Man Utd boss Ten Hag ‘taxing to buy for’ – ‘What is their identification?’
The justification for the animosity is that the Man Utd employers are not purchasing players for a specific layout of play on the industry, as Ten Hag “plays a different system all the time”.
This is according to former England striker Lineker, who has no idea what “Ten Hag’s form of player” is and can have a incredibly nice factor.
“I reckon it’s incredibly taxing to buy a player for Erik ten Hag because he plays a different system all the time,” he asserted on The Rest Is Football podcast. “Sporadically they’re counter-pelting, often they’ll play a miniscule fragment fragment of a high press, often they won’t.
“We’ve asserted it innumerable times on listed underneath, ‘What is their layout of football? What is their identification?’ I wear’t reckon you have that.
“Presently if you were purchasing for, permit’s case, Ange Postecoglou [Tottenham boss] or Brighton who lug out actually well, or Brentford or someone prefer that, those form of bars… Or Manchester Urbane…
“They have a way of tinkering that incredibly rarely ever before varies, they wear’t go from being a counter-pelting crew for 3 weeks and after that being a crew on the front foot for 3 weeks.
“But you inform me, what is Erik ten Hag’s form of player? Can you rebuttal that? I can’t. So I reckon mostly that is the plight. As well as I reckon that’s been the bathing for some time, and previous supervisors.
“We run out upward being aware they’ve had inquiries at the pinnacle of the club and that filters down, and all that filter of things, and it carries out, and it’s been taxing for any boss,
“But I reckon it’s exacerbated at the minute by the absence of a layout and the absence of identification of the real tinkering side of things.
“Consequently, they just appear to buy promotion hoc. You run out upward being aware, ‘I had him at Ajax and he was actually nice there,’ I’m sure he was! Any of those players that he’s ordered from there. But in which lug out they match in?
“Someone prefer [Rasmus] Hojlund, yeah that was renowned, he’s a striker, you’ve got to have a striker. But in other placements, in other places, if you play a delicately different system every week, how lug out you run out upward being aware what you’re purchasing for? So I reckon that’s probably what’s taken place.”
