EKO HOT BLOG reports that Erik ten Hag is ‘growing impatient’ over the lack of transfer business at Manchester United, according to reports
The Dutch tactician, who was appointed as Ralf Rangnick’s successor back in May, has only received one summer recruit since taking over at Old Trafford – despite the obvious need for reinforcements after the club laboured to their lowest-ever Premier League points tally last season.
Talks have been rumbling on for Frenkie de Jong while negotiations for other targets have struggled to bear fruit, besides free agent Christian Eriksen.
The Dane is expected to undergo a Manchester United medical shortly before signing a three-year contract.
But outside of that, there has been little movement for United, who need to replace six first-team departures from last season following the expiry of their contracts.
According to Mundo Deportivo in Spain, the United boss is becoming irritated with the lack of movement in regards to incomings.
United have already agreed a ‘basic’ fee with the La Liga giants, who have now seemingly shifted the goal posts after demanding higher add-ons in the proposal.
Barcelona are still keen to sign Raphinha and their best chances of funding a deal may rest with selling De Jong to United.
A new goalkeeper is also on the agenda for the Red Devils with Thomas Strakosha the main name under consideration.
Fulham had looked at signing the Albanian international but now he should arrive at Old Trafford to replace Dean Henderson following his loan to Nottingham Forest.
Talks were also held for Watford’s Daniel Bachmann but United failed to agree a deal.
A new right-back is also on the agenda for Ten Hag with Denzel Dumfries among those to be linked with a move to United.
Central midfield remains the priority though but attacking reinforcements could also be in the offing as Cristiano Ronaldo’s future hangs in the balance.
The veteran wants out but United need to sign replacements first if they are to agree to a sale this summer.
