Manchester United have struggled last season in the English Premier League (EPL). The Red Devils finished 8th in the league table. This was their worst performance under Erik ten Hag. They were knocked out of the group stage of the UEFA Champions League as well. However, they qualified for the UEFA Europa League for the forthcoming season after winning the FA Cup.
Under the new INEOS management, Manchester United has been transforming under Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Ahead of the upcoming season, the side has made multiple additions to his team throughout the transfer window. The club recently signed two defenders Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich. They were on target for the club from the opening of the transfer window. The first signing for the new season was Lenny Yoro, then Joshua Zirkzee. A total of 4 signings have been done so far for the new season.
Ten Hag will be reuniting with all of his former Ajax footballers at Old Trafford. The Dutch manager has almost made an Ajax academy at the theatre of dreams. Some footballers were earlier present in the side Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez, Andre Onana, Antony. With the recent addition of the two defenders United now has 6 footballers from the Dutch club.
It will be huge pressure dawning on the Manchester United jersey
Is Ten Hag creating a new Ajax Academy? The defensive duo progressed through the Dutch club’s academy when Ten Hag was manager of the club. Not only them but the other footballers who have come to United previously most of them have been trained under the 54-year-old Dutch manager. However, it will be crucial to how the footballers play under their former coach in a club that has a long history.
Playing for Man U will be a lot more different than playing for other clubs. However, in Munich, it is altogether a different atmosphere at the Allianz Arena. But dawning the Red Jersey and entering the field that the legends have once played in will be a different feeling for the new arrivals. All the footballers will love to prove themselves in the United jersey and win them the silverware.
