Manchester United target Hakim Ziyech is “super-appreciated” by manager Erik ten Hag, according to reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano. The Red Devils are in need of attacking reinforcements in the final couple of weeks of the transfer window and could turn their attention to the 29-year-old, who is out of favour at Chelsea.
Earlier this month, the Manchester Evening News reported that Ten Hag is being ‘met with resistance’ by the United hierarchy in his attempts to bring Ziyech to the club.
It’s believed that the Dutch tactician has identified the left-footed attacker as an alternative target to Antony, who is being priced out of a move to Old Trafford by Ajax.
MEN state that United have ‘largely backed Ten Hag’s preference for targets familiar to him but Ziyech has been deemed an exception’, although they don’t stipulate why this is the case.
