Man Utd acquired Casemiro and Antony in the last 2 weeks of the transfer period.
Man Utd entered the new season in the Premier League with only 3 new contracts with the arrival of Malacia, Lisandro Martinez and Eriksen.
Immediately after the loss to Brentford, everything completely changed.
Antony and Casemiro were brought to Old Trafford immediately after Man Utd suffered a 4-0 defeat to Brenford.
The 2 deals cost the Red Devils 160 million Euros, not including the huge salary for Casemiro, which is truly a huge number that Man Utd decided to spend to have a revolution after awakening in 2 defeats.
When asked if the United hierarchy would provide additional financial resources after the loss to Brentford, Ten Hag said: `That’s hypothetical. You never know how things will turn out, if you come earlier or later.
Ten Hag has revealed the working methods of the sporting director and the Glazers during this year’s summer transfer window
`We were really quick to identify the positions and players we wanted. There are so many parties involved, there are so many factors that make it more complicated in terms of a contract. Last season, the standard was comparable.`
Ten Hag also added: `United has done to adapt according to how the market (was) and I think the club has done that well.`
The Dutch strategist said that the Board of Directors accidentally spent money on two expensive deals, Antony and Casemiro.
Ten Hag also hinted at the way the Board of Directors worked in bringing three players Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro and Antony to Old Trafford.
It’s hard to believe that Man Utd had to spend nearly 220 million Euros to bring in Antony, Lisandro Martinez and Casemiro when looking at the current situation of the three players.
With the price being forced too high, Man Utd continues to go down the same path that Ed Woodward did before.
Sports Director Murtough and the Glazers are running Man Utd similar to what Ed Woodward did when he was always pressured in the transfer market.
If we continue to not have a sporting director with football expertise, we cannot rule out the possibility that Ten Hag will be the next `victim` in the process of `blood-sucking` the club from the Glazers.
