Erik ten Hag wants Brian Brobbey back at Manchester United to strengthen the team’s offensive. He’s interested in another former athlete.

Ajax fans believe Erik ten Hag’s transfer to Manchester United is the reason for their team’s success.

United’s strikers have struggled to score goals in the league this season. Rasmus Hojlund, who cost £64 million, has scored only two goals thus far. 

Fans of wings Markus Rashford and Antony have also struggled to score, and £73 million Jadon Sancho is back on loan at Borussia Dortmund. Brobbey has scored nine goals and assisted four others in the Eredivisie thus far. He has accomplished all of this while playing for an underperforming Ajax squad. Ten Hag was linked with signing the Dutch international over the summer, and it appears that interest has not waned. 

Ajax starlets Brian Brobbey jokes that Erik ten Hag should ‘bring me with you’ to Manchester United | Daily Mail Online. Previously, this individual was in command of Ajax, giving Brobbey his first start for the Dutch club. Brobbey turned down a move to Old Trafford in 2022, despite Ten Hag’s personal efforts to persuade him otherwise. 

According to Der Telegraaf, “Erik ten Hag called me and said that at United, my agent would get millions of euros and I could make a lot more money than I did at Ajax.” We knew we wanted to go to Ajax. “Manchester United wanted to sign me, but I refused to go back to Ajax.” My lawyer, Jose Fortes Rodriguez, even abandoned a significant portion of the sell-on option to make this happen.
