Ten Hag’s Plea for Ambition
In a recent press conference, the United manager highlighted the need for the Red Devils to exhibit ambition in their transfer dealings. He stated, “We showed during the season we made progress, that’s a compliment to the players and the coaches, we worked really hard, but we have to make an investment.

He also added, “We are in the right direction, but we are not there where we have to be, there’s still a long way to go, there’s potential in this team and individual players. The club knows if you want to play top four, compete for trophies in this tough league then you have to invest otherwise you don’t have a chance because other clubs will do.”
United’s Striking Concerns
The call for signing the England captain stems from United’s desire to address their striking concerns. Despite a decent season, they lacked a consistent and reliable goal scorer who could lead the line effectively.
