EKO HOT BLOG reports that Manchester United manager, Erik ten hag has identified Hakim Ziyech as his number one transfer target this summer.
The Dutch head coach is desperate for attacking reinforcements to ensure his side are a big threat this season. Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial are the only senior attackers who have had a full pre-season with the club.
According to EXPRESS sports, Erik ten is keen to sign Ziyech, who has endured a tough time at Chelsea. The 28-year-old was signed in 2020 but has failed to earn regular game time under Thomas Tuchel.
But United might struggle to sign the former Ajax ace as the Red Devils’ hierarchy are not completely sold on Ziyech, French journalist Nabil Djellit claims.
That means Ten Hag could face more frustration as there is not unanimous support within the club’s board over the player.
United have endured a difficult summer already, especially in their pursuit of Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong. They have chased the Dutchman all summer but the 25-year-old is hesitant about joining.
Erik Ten Hag and the Old Trafford transfer hierarchy find themselves in a quandary as they are shopping in a market alongside clubs who boast Champions League football.
A dismal campaign last term concluded with United in the sixth, meaning they will play in the Europa League in 2022-23.
