Erik ten Hag eyes Ajax striker Brian Brobbey as Martial nears Manchester United exit

Manchester United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, is reportedly considering the acquisition of Ajax striker Brian Brobbey, as revealed by The Mirror.

Amid a challenging season that sees Manchester United currently in eighth place in the Premier League, Ten Hag is exploring options to strengthen the squad. The Red Devils have faced setbacks, having been eliminated from both the Carabao Cup and the Champions League.

Ten Hag, who previously introduced Brobbey to the Ajax team in 2020, is now contemplating a move for the striker. This strategic move aligns with the imminent expiration of Anthony Martial’s contract at the end of the season.

While there are reports of Ten Hag’s desire to secure a forward during the January transfer window, the club’s financial constraints limit potential acquisitions to loan deals. Consequently, any pursuit of Brian Brobbey may be deferred until at least the summer transfer window.
