Hag says Man United wasted two transfer windows since he joined.

Since taking over as manager of Manchester United in April 2022, Erik ten Hag has certainly made his mark on the club. With over £400m spent on transfers, he has been instrumental in shaping the team and bringing in top talent.

However, in a recent press conference, Ten Hag couldn't help but take a subtle swipe at the club's owners, the Glazer family. He stated that since his appointment, United have "missed" two transfer windows, hinting at a lack of investment and ambition from the owners.

Despite this, Ten Hag's first summer at the club saw significant spending, with over £230m used to bring in players like Antony, Lisandro Martinez, and Casemiro. The following January saw loan signings in the form of Marcel Sabitzer and Wout Weghorst, as United dealt with the loss of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Last summer, United continued to splash the cash, spending £160m on players like Mason Mount, Andre Onana, and Rasmus Hojlund. However, there were also two loan signings, with Sofyan Amrabat and Sergio Reguilon joining the club.

Despite facing an injury crisis, United failed to make any signings in the January window, much to the disappointment of fans. But Ten Hag remains optimistic and focused on the upcoming transfer window, stating that there is always a lot of work to be done and improvements to be made.

He also acknowledged the impact of injuries on the team's performance this season, but believes that there is a strong foundation in the squad that can be built upon. In addition, the club has recently appointed Jason Wilcox as technical director, who will eventually report to director of football Dan Ashworth.

Ten Hag and Wilcox are already working closely together, with a plan in place for the upcoming transfer window. However, they acknowledge that it will take time to align their visions and make the necessary improvements to the squad.

Overall, Ten Hag remains determined to bring success to Manchester United, despite the challenges and missed opportunities in the past. Fans can look forward to more news, exclusives, and analysis as the club prepares for the next transfer window.
