    Alex Ferguson offers judgment on Ten Hag

    Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson has heaped praise on Erik ten Hag.

    The Dutch coach has earned rave reviews from United’s best ever manager this week, as the new Premier League season begins.

    Ahead of United taking on Wolves, which the Red Devils narrowly won 1-0, Ferguson lavished praise on Ten Hag.

    “I think Ten Hag has done a fantastic job.” Ferguson, 81, told NBC Sports.

    “He’s grabbed it, he’s brought his own players in – I think that was important – and if he gets the center forward ready quickly, they’ll be a really good side.

    “Because that’s what they have really lacked in the last few years – a centre forward.”

    Ten Hag confirms Hojlund preseason injury

    Summer signing Rasmus Hojlund will miss Manchester United’s opening game of the Premier League season.

    Manager Erik ten Hag has outlined that Hojlund has a slight injury that requires him to rest for a few weeks.

    The Denmark forward is not thought to have any serious or long-term issues with the ailment.

    “It’s difficult to say how that process will go, but I think he’s making good progress at this moment. We have to see day by day how the progress will go, then we have to follow up,” Ten Hag told  .

    “Of course when he’s available and he’s here so you have the option to play, but we don’t expect him in that short notice to be 100 per cent fit. So we have to wait sometime more. We need all positions doubled because of the number of games.

    “We need the competition, you always have to deal with suspensions and injuries, with the form of players. Also from a technical perspective, we need double positioning and yes you need good players, but also every player needs perspective to play.

    “I’m happy with the squad and I want a strong squad and competition in the squad so I’m happy with the current players who are in, so if we go with the squad into the season, that’s fine.”

    Man Utd adjust player-swap offer for Declan Rice

    Manchester United are ready to offer Harry Maguire and Anthony Elanga plus cash for Declan Rice.

    The West Ham United captain is up for sale, with Manchester City and Arsenal also in the race.

    While the latter two teams are in prime position to secure Rice, United believe they can tempt the Hammers.

    Elanga is a talented winger who would fit David Moyes’ counter-attacking setup, while Maguire is also an ideal centre-half for his playstyle.

    Per The Mail, United have put in the bid that would include £40 million in cash and those two players.

    West Ham may be interested in Elanga and Maguire, but may still believe they can get more cash out of United.

  • Man Utd have transfer tactical plan for Victor Osimhen

    Man Utd have transfer tactical plan for Victor Osimhen

    Manchester United are waiting to pounce for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.

    As they rethink their pursuit of Tottenham star Harry Kane, United are switching their sights on Nigeria international Osimhen.

    La Gazzetta dello Sport says United are firming up their interest, though Napoli’s €140m price is deemed too steep.

    Instead, United will wait until later in the transfer window counting on Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis to soften his stance.

    At yesterday’s presentation for new coach Rudi Garcia, De Laurentiis opened the door to Osimhen’s sale.

    “I have said for a while that Osimhen has to stay. Then, if an offer came in that I could not refuse for the good of Napoli, then we would consider it, as is only natural,” said De Laurentiis.

    “We already talked to Osimhen before the Scudetto celebration, so we already have a basic agreement on a two-year extension of his contract. The other players, that is something we need to study with Rudi (Garcia), because I have for many years been convinced that pre-season training is fundamental.”
