Ten Hag’s biggest problem so far is his recruitment. They did not try hard for Frenkie when we had financial issues(he wanted to stay but the club wanted him out) and bought Mount for 60-70 million. Frenkie, Bruno and Casemiro would have worked for sure.
Yeah, their recruitment to me is genuinely embarrassing. It seems like they just wake up and decide to sign someone; Casemiro signing at the times left be baffled. For a guy like ETH known for a high pressing and possession based football, why spending all that money on a slow midfield destroyer that weak in moving the ball fast and controlling the tempo of a game. It obviously obliged ETH to adapt and the only way is changing your style of play
Ermmm, United literally agreed a fee with Barca for weeks until they withdrew the offer because FDJ did not want to move. So not much they could have done in that case.
They were not ready to pay the amount we asked and neither De Jong salary demands.
Barcelona accepted and reached an agreement on the sale of FDJ. United just never reached an agreement on personal terms with FDJ because he didn’t want to move. This is well established and not even speculation.
