Ajax Youngster Cheekily Asks Erik Ten Hag To 'Bring Him' To Manchester United

Ajax Youngster Cheekily Asks Erik Ten Hag To 'Bring Him' To Manchester United

‘Hopefully he brings me with him in two years! No, no, joking, joking!’

Ajax striker Brian Brobbey joked he wants Erik ten Hag to bring him to Manchester United in the future.

Ten Hag was announced as United's new manager on Thursday and he'll take over at the end of this season.

Who he wants to sign in the summer is a hot topic right now and Brobbey cheekily threw his name into the hat during a post-match press conference.

Speaking after Saturday's 1-0 win over NEC, a game he scored the winner in, Brobbey said: "I am very happy for him and he really deserves it after everything he has done for Ajax.

"Hopefully he brings me with him in two years! No, no, joking, joking!"

The 20-year-old left Ajax for RB Leipzig last summer but found life difficult in Germany, making only nine appearances in the Bundesliga.

He returned to Ajax on a six-month loan deal in January and a permanent move back to Amsterdam could be on the cards.

Ten Hag is said to be interested in signing a few of his current players, however.

Brazil winger Antony and central defender Jurrien Timber have been named as targets but it remains to be seen if they also make the jump to Old Trafford.

It's expected the 52-year-old will want to completely reshape United's squad after a disappointing campaign.

The Red Devils are currently sixth in the Premier League and six points off the top four with four games to go.

A 3-1 defeat to Arsenal on Saturday all but ended their slim hopes of making next season's Champions League.

Interim manager Ralf Rangnick has been vocal in his criticism of the current United squad and its hierarchy.

He warned there is no quick fix on the horizon and likened reshaping the club's structure to open heart surgery in Friday's press conference.

"You don’t even need glasses to see and analyse where the problems are," Rangnick declared.

"Now it’s about how do we solve them? It’s not enough to do some minor amendments. In medicine you would say that this is an operation of the open heart. If this happens and everyone has realised that this has to happen and if people want to work together then it makes sense and I believe it doesn’t take two or three years to change those things. This can happen within one year."
