A Manchester United icon calls for a shift in the transfer strategy following terrible mistakes made during Erik ten Hag’s tenure.

Jaap Stam, a Manchester United legend, has recommended a shift in the club’s transfer strategy following what he perceives as subpar signings under manager Erik ten Hag.

Stam suggests focusing on proven players from the Premier League, emphasizing the need for individuals with experience in English football who can make an immediate impact.

While United did secure Mason Mount from Chelsea, Stam acknowledges the challenges, as even players with prior Premier League success, such as Harry Maguire, have faced difficulties adapting to the club.

In an exclusive interview with Ladbrokes Fanzone, Stam expressed his views on Manchester United’s transfer strategy, particularly highlighting the challenges faced by players like Antony.

He emphasized the significant gap in quality between the Dutch Eredivisie and the Premier League, underscoring the need for thorough consideration when recruiting players who can handle the demands of English football.

Stam stressed the responsibility of the club and manager in making decisions that align with the rigorous nature of the Premier League, where the level of competition is notably higher than in the Dutch league.
