Erik ten Hag is just wasting money while Manchester United's line up this season already has midfielders who are quite good like Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Bruno Fernandes, Antony, Donny van de Beek, etc., in my opinion, those names are very strong in helping power. attack Manchester United, at least Manchester United are more concerned with defending and improving in Manchester United's defense sector alone because of the lack of defensive players which makes Manchester United always a weak point and very easy to guess by the opposing team, Erik ten Hag should have thought a second time to bring in new quarterback.
Well lately I see Ten Hag is very busy with the transfer of several players who are on his radar, yes I quite agree with you that Manchester United now still has a good and strong midfielder, as you said they still have great strength and still have great balance in midfield, and Ten Hag should be thinking about what he needs more. I mean better use that money to fill the void they really need like paying attention to the Manchester United backline. That seems quite excessive and is clearly a waste if they spend money on players they don't really need. The Premier League has just started and maybe Ten Hag wants something significant for his squad by adding a lot of strength and also spending a lot of money this season. Regarding their relatively weak defense, now I hear the latest rumors that Ten Hag is eyeing a player from Barcelona, namely Marcos Alonso, to fill the back line, and it is reported that they have received the green light from Barcelona regarding the agreement. If in the end Ten Hag manages to get him then most likely his squad will be perfectly formed, various sides are filled with strong players, and it is very likely that for some time to come Manchester United will be a quite difficult competitor for Manchester City in the trophy hunt at the end season.
Manchester City is still dominating the League this season, because Pep Guardiola already has players who are in accordance with his portions and they don't even waste money, but Pep Guardiola has followed the process of forming the Manchester City squad this season, here it is very visible from the two coaches who have instinct in assessing players. he is young, and makes a player who can be relied on in the team, Erik ten Hag should be able to learn from Manchester City who are able to change their squad from mediocre to players who have the quality and mentality of a champion, not just wasting money and making players only residents of the capital. Of course, but at least the purchase is not in vain and can be useful for the current squad and can work with Manchester United players.
