Manchester United spent Rp 2.3 trillion for the sake of bringing in Erik ten Hag’s dream player

DBasia.news – Manchester United’s hunt for Ajax Amsterdam player Antony is almost over. The Red Devils were also willing to spend a hefty amount for Erik ten Hag’s wishes.

Erik ten Hag knows his job at Manchester United will be tough. Last season Manchester United failed to step into the Champions League. The Red Devils failed to be consistent for most of the season.

Therefore, Ten Hag wants to bring in a number of players who are believed able to improve the quality of the Red Devils. The coach has also released a number of players who are believed to be incompatible with his scheme.

Ten Hag didn’t look far in the search for new players. The Dutch coach is targeting his former players at Ajax. Of course, Ten Hag didn’t need to analyze much as he already knows the player’s abilities.

The first on Ten Hag’s target was Lisandro Martinez. The Uruguayan defender began to show his ability after in the first two games he received a minor assessment. At that time, Martinez was considered too short as a central defender.

To sign Martinez, Manchester United had to spend up to 57.37 million euros. This amount makes Martinez one of the most expensive defenders Manchester United has ever signed.

Now, Manchester United are back in their pockets to bring in Ten Hag’s dream player. The next star to come to Old Trafford is Antony.

Compared to Martinez, Manchester United’s road to signing Antony is more winding. Ajax had rejected Man United’s offer despite receiving a proposal worth 80 million euros.

Finally, Ajax gave up after Manchester United raised their offer to 100 million euros. Fabrizio Romano reported that an agreement between the two camps has been established.

Antony’s action to pressure Ajax to give the green light also had a big impact. Antony emphasized that he wanted to experience a new challenge.

That way, Manchester United has spent up to 157 million euros just to recruit two of Ten Hag’s dream players. If converted into Rupiah, Man United has spent up to Rp 2.32 trillion.

In fact, the amount could increase if Frenkie de Jong also joined as Man United dared to offer 75 million euros to Barcelona. However, the player refuses to head to Old Trafford.

Now, it is interesting to see how the impact of the expensive players brought in by Manchester United to fulfill Erik ten Hag’s wishes.
