DBasia.news – Erik ten Hag is said to be facing a massive challenge as Manchester United’s new manager this season. There are so many things Ten Hag needs to improve at Old Trafford.

Ten Hag is believed to replace Ralf Rangnick as Manchester United’s new captain. For the umpteenth time, MU will restart the squad development project.

So far Ten Hag has shown positive signs. He released players who were not in his plans and asked the club to pursue a number of targets.

Interestingly, MU seems to be more careful in the transfer market this summer. So far, no new players have been signed by MU.

Ten Hag came to MU full of problems. The MU squad doesn’t seem to be united, important information is often leaked from the changing room. The players are often criticized for not working hard.

Therefore, coaching Manchester United could be one of Ten Hag’s biggest challenges in his career. Premier League analyst Paul Merson believes that Ten Hag will face many difficulties.

“If Ten Hag continues to be a manager for the rest of his life, obviously nothing will be more difficult than what he is taking on now [coaching United],” Merson told Sky Sports.

“This is a massive job. United are the biggest club in the world and he took over the job when they were in disarray.”

According to Merson, it is clear that Ten Hag needs the full support of the club to develop the squad. United now need to recruit several players to compete in the top four next season.

“He has to sign as many players as he can, because the current team won’t be able to get into the top four. They have to sign certain players,” Merson continued.

“Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona, ​​he’s a good footballer, then United can start moving from there. At the very least, they need three or four more players to compete in the top four,” he added.
