Former Manchester United assistant coach, Rene Hake has claimed that Erik ten Hag did not sign any player for Manchester United.
He stated this while claiming that the Dutchman and his backroom staff were given the support he needed to succeed at Old Trafford.
Hake was the manager at Go Ahead Eagles before he was contracted by Manchester United to work as an assistant to Ten Hag.
In an interview with Voetbal International, the Dutchman revealed his sadness at their dismissal.
“It is often said and written that Erik spent that money and that he brought in all those players. But that doesn’t make sense,” he said.
“Manchester United has a scouting force of 40 people or so. Erik did not deal with transfers on his own and you now also see that Martínez, De Ligt, Onana and Mazraoui are just regular players.
“They are just good football players, that has nothing to do with an Ajax past.”
