Ten Hag is one injury away from having to call upon Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who lost his place under Ralf Rangnick and doesn't look to be a natural fit for the new manager's style of play. Man United's move for Frenkie de Jong is also proving complicated, with the player owned millions by Barcelona in deferred salary payments. Ajax originally rejected approaches for the player from Man United and Arsenal, but have softened their stance.

The Argentina international is confident on the ball, good in the air for a player of 5ft 10in and will offer some much-needed competition for United’s captain. That causes issues in possession, but also out of it, with United potentially vulnerable to runs down the left channel, between left-back and centre-back. Every one of the six centre-backs currently on United’s books is right-footed – and that has caused a long-standing issue. That versatility is a major asset for Ten Hag, but there is perhaps another reason why the Dutchman was so keen to sign him. Nevertheless, there is – finally – something to get excited about for the United manager and the club’s fans. De Jong is no closer to becoming a United player and Ten Hag will have to continue planning without him as the pre-season tour reaches Melbourne.
