Manchester United
Manchester United’s Erik ten Hag is expected to reveal the acquisition of two prominent players today at Old Trafford.
Manchester United are close to announcing two significant signings as Ineos continues to influence the ongoing developments at Old Trafford. Noussair Mazraoui and Matthijs de Ligt, both of whom Erik ten Hag knows from their time together at Ajax, are expected to join for a combined fee of approximately £51.5 million. Their contracts are expected to be completed before United’s Premier League opener against Fulham on Friday night at 8pm, though it’s uncertain if they will be available for that game. Their addition is intended to strengthen the squad both in the short and long term.
United have clearly identified defense as a priority this summer. Ineos has been open to adding up to three new center-backs, but additional signings will depend on player sales and the need for reinforcements in other areas, such as another left-back and a possible replacement for Casemiro in the defensive midfield role.
Although Casemiro appears to be in good form, United might delay plans to find his successor. Financial constraints could influence this decision, but Ten Hag and his staff will likely explore alternative options. One possibility could be shifting Lisandro Martinez to a defensive midfield role, a position he occasionally played at Ajax. While Ten Hag had previously dismissed this idea, Martinez’s tenacity and passing ability could be valuable, particularly with support from players like Kobbie Mainoo, Scott McTominay, and Mason Mount, who provide significant energy and stamina.
This potential change in Martinez’s role highlights the tactical adjustments Ten Hag may need to make throughout the season to keep United competitive.
