Five Eredivisie players Manchester United could look to sign under Erik ten Hag including Antony

With Erik ten Hag now appointed as the next permanent manager of Manchester United, thoughts will now turn to who the club will sign in the summer transfer window. Ralf Rangnick suggested in a recent press conference that up to 10 new players could be needed and this will only be emphasised by the number of planned departures.

United can't invest heavily in every position so they will need to get creative. Many fans have suggested that Ten Hag will return to Ajax for players but why narrow your search down to one club?

The Eredivisie has plenty of talented players who could be moulded into superstars under Ten Hag. Below are five such players from Ajax and the Netherlands' other top clubs.

One of the main Ajax players to be linked to United this summer. The Brazillian winger has stated in the past that he would be open to a move to the Premier League and may look for a new challenge at the end of this season.

Antony has 12 goals and 10 assists in all competitions this season and would solve the club's issue on the right wing. In Ten Hag's team, the wingers are incredibly important and having a player that understands what the manager wants from his system
