The coach of Manchester United, Erik ten Hag, is quite confident that the club will bring other players to the team until the summer market closes. The transfer of Casemiro was a very important move for the "Red Devils", but Ten Hag does not intend to stop there. According to "Mirror" sources, the club leaders are still in intensive talks with the Barcelona midfielder, Frenkie de Jong.
United representatives have traveled to Spain to once again rebuild the bridges of communication with De Jong's agents. The latter has "liked" a post on Instagram that presented Casemiro's arrival at Old Trafford. This could be an indication that the Dutchman may have changed his mind about a move to United. It was initially reported that the midfielder preferred a move to Chelsea.
Meanwhile, another player Manchester United are monitoring is Ajax striker Antony. The Brazilian has a very close relationship with coach Ten Hag and various reports have suggested that the player prefers a move to Old Trafford. Antony also posted images of United's win over Liverpool on social media, expressing his support for the Red Devils. The forward was also left out of Ajax's XI at the weekend.
After the surprise victory over Liverpool, Erik ten Hag once again discussed United's objectives in the market, giving indications that the club is in pursuit of some elite level players. The Dutchman repeated:
"We said from the beginning, we wanted to bring the right players, not random players. Now I know we have the right player in the team (Casemiro), I am convinced of that. But the market is not closed. We need numbers, but not only that, we also need quality."
