His name did not come from me — Ten Hag denies pushing for €50m-rated defender
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has denied reports that he is pushing the club to sign his former player.
Following his disappointing stint in charge, Ragnick assessed the club's status and declared that minor changes could not solve the problem and that the club needed, as they would instead need ‘an open heart surgery’.
What Ten Hag said
Speaking in an interview with Dutch newspaper AD Sportwereld, the former Ultrech manager agreed with Ragnick but stressed that they have been working hard at making Manchester United function appropriately.
“Rangnick was absolutely right," Ten Hag said "We have been working very hard on this for two years, but he said it exactly right: it is a thorough, very complex operation. And I knew when I started that it was going to be a tough job.”

Following the INEOS part-acquisition of the club, a number of recruitment in key areas have been made. The likes of Omar Berrada, Dan Ashworth, Jason Wilcox and Christopher Vivell have been hired at executive and directorial levels.
They have also shown efficiency and avoided the typical drawn-out drama associated with Manchester United’s transfer dealings. They have completed the signing of Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro, and they have Manuel Ugarte and Matthijs de Ligt in the works.
