  1. Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

    Their buildup was a bit weird though. You can tell it was not really a quality system but strong physicality and very technical players. Vitinha and Mendes among others were instrumental.

  2. Rasmus Højlund | 2024/25 Performances

    He probably won't.

  3. Club ownership | Senior management team talk

    Im actually less bothered too. But I do understand the sentiment that he could have avoided the wording there.

  4. Club ownership | Senior management team talk

    He said they got players who either weren't good enough or were overpaid. He didn't need to say that. He could have just said they were loose with the purse strings in previous windows and they are shifting their approach in the way they identify their talent and left it there.

  5. Club ownership | Senior management team talk

    He could have said that then.

  6. Manchester United vs Real Sociedad

    Could be Heaven - MDL - Mazraoui

  7. Erik ten Hag | Currently unemployed

    Signing off on transfers doesn't mean he would have played any major role in talent identification but that's probably getting into a micro debate. I dont think it's 50/50 in the sense of being led by ten hag - the coach literally said the club suggested him and he was on board. If you mean...

  8. Erik ten Hag | Currently unemployed

    Yeah he was looking at how the recruitment fits in with the other departments (so that can be for the coach, how it might affect the pathway from academy players, the wage structure) Back to your point though, MDL as a target to go for was a suggestion made by the club to the manager rather...

    Ashworth would probably still not be involved much with this as we had Vivel in to look after player recruitment. It did not feel like it was part of his known remit, he explained what he's responsible for at Brighton and that's a close comparable to his expectation when he joined us :

    He did not identify any targets, just clearing that up as you said it was part of his remit. And de Ligt at least was suggested to ten hag from the club. He said that himself. I think that clears up any doubt as to whether he was a club signing or a manager pushing scenario.

  11. Erik ten Hag | Currently unemployed

    No it wasn't. Ashworth does not identify transfers. He said this himself when he covered what a DoF does.

  12. Erik ten Hag | Currently unemployed

    There's no pinch of salt. He was clearly talking about De Ligt as the current target. You need to watch the press conference, it's quite clear and unequivocal. Ineos also haven't washed their hands of it, SJR just said that they consulted with the coach on transfers and worked together but...

  13. Erik ten Hag | Currently unemployed

    He said it in a press conference why do you need a source? Anyway he said “I know Matthijs well and I will not deny that. I wanted to sign him two years ago but at that time, he was already very far along to join Bayern Munich (from Juventus) but believe it or not, his name did not come from...

  14. Ederson - Atalanta Midfielder

    Wharton?

  15. Erik ten Hag | Currently unemployed

    I mean ten hag himself said De Ligt was an INEOS target so I think that would conclude it surely.
