Erik ten Hag targeting another Ajax player with Anthony Martial set to leave the club

 Erik ten Hag has reportedly set his sights on yet another Ajax talent as Man United prepare for the summer transfer window.

The Red Devils boss has endured a tough season so far as the side sit eighth in the Premier League after being knocked out of the Champions League. 

Much has been made of United's transfer business following the takeover of Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

Now, it has been revealed that Ten Hag is keeping tabs on Ajax striker Brian Brobbey, 21, according to the Mirror.

The manager has worked with the striker in the past after handing him his debut for Ajax in 2020.

The Dutchman is also said to want to bring in a forward in January but the club’s financial position means that will only be a loan. 

That rules out any move for Brobbey until at the least the summer.

It comes as Anthony Martial is expected to leave the club this summer when his contract expires.

Earlier today it was revealed that Jadon Sancho has rejoined Borussia Dortmund on loan from Manchester United until the end of the season.

While Dortmund fans will be delighted with the move, there is no option for the Bundesliga club to re-sign Sancho permanently in the summer having sold the 23-year-old top United in a £73m deal in 2021.

The Englishman proved to be a real fan-favourite during his first stint in Germany. After making his debut at the age of 17 in October 2017, Sancho would go on to score 50 goals and provide 60 assists in 137 games for Die Schwarzgelben.rejoined Borussia Dortmund on loan
