Man Utd ‘offered’ free agent as Ten Hag ‘orders’ transfer after ‘becoming obsessed’

Man Utd ‘offered’ free agent as Ten Hag ‘orders’ transfer after ‘becoming obsessed’

Man Utd have been ‘offered’ the services of former Lille attacking midfielder Yusuf Yazici on a free transfer, according to reports

The Red Devils signed Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui and Manuel Ugarte over the summer transfer window as INEOS completed their first transfer window as co-owners.

But that has not coincided with a good start on the pitch as Man Utd followed up a home win on the opening weekend by losing the next two Premier League matches to Brighton and arch-rivals Liverpool.

The latter was particularly embarrassing and there is already pressure on Erik ten Hag after the Dutchman only recently kept his job following an eighth-place finish in the Premier League last term.

An FA Cup final victory over Man City saved him and now Ten Hag is determined to turn his fortunes around despite complaints that the Man Utd boss still hasn’t forged a playing style in two years at Old Trafford.

One potential option to give him help, despite the transfer window closing, is in the form of Turkey international Yazici with HITC claiming the attacking midfielder has been ‘offered’ to Man Utd.

Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle and Aston Villa are among the other clubs to have been approached about a potential free transfer after Yazici’s deal at French side Lille expired at the end of June.
