Journo claims he can't “rule out” MUFC signing "fantastic" gem, Ten Hag would love him - opinion

Manchester United have been linked with a whole host of former Erik ten Hag favourites this summer, and it seems as if Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech could be the latest man on the Red Devils’ shortlist.

United have already brought in Tyrell Malacia and Christian Eriksen this summer, while Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez is also imminent, which suggests that the new manager at Old Trafford is targeting players that he knows he can trust.

In an interview with GiveMeSport, journalist Dean Jones has suggested that United could be an option for the 29-year-old  this summer, saying: “The Ziyech move to AC Milan has stuttered a little and if that situation drags on let’s not rule out the idea that Ten Hag looks to take him to United instead.”

United have been tipped to sign a new winger for most of the summer, with Antony seemingly the number one target for Ten Hag.

However, the 52-year-old will know just what Ziyech is capable of, as the Moroccan contributed 39 goals and 53 assists in 100 appearances under Ten Hag at Ajax.

Although the 29-year-old’s game-time was limited at Chelsea last season, he still
