Erik ten Hag keen to reunite with Brian Brobbey at Manchester United, a good deal?

The
20-year-old
is
a
graduate
of
Ajax’s
famed
academy
and
was
also
given
his
first
team
debut
by
none
other
than
Erik
ten
Hag
two
years
ago.

The
Dutch
youth
international
left
the
Eredivisie
giants
in
2021
after
Sebastien
Haller
joined
from
West
Ham
United.
However,
Ten
Hag
remains
a
huge
fan
of
the
youngster
and
brought
him
back
to
the
club
in
January
on
loan
following
an
ill-fated
start
to
his
Leipzig
career.

The
20-year-old
has
not
been
able
to
make
much
of
an
impression
in
Germany
having
struggled
for
both
opportunities
and
form
at
RB
Leipzig.
Ajax
are
reportedly
looking
to
bring
him
back
at
the
club
on
a
permanent
basis
after
he
has
impressed
largely
on
loan
for
them
last
season
having
scored
seven
goals
in
11
league
games.

Both
Ajax
and
Brobbery
were
thought
to
be
keen
on
making
the
move
happen
but
things
have
now
turned
interesting
with
Erik
ten
Hag’s
interest
in
the
Dutchman.

United
have
been
rocked
by
the
news
of
Cristiano
Ronaldo
demanding
an
exit
from
the
club
this
summer
with
the
club
missing
Champions
League
football.
The
Red
Devils
are
therefore
in
the
market
for
an
attacker
and
Ten
Hag
believes
that
Brobbery
has
the
quality
to
shine
at
Old
Trafford.

It
is
understood
that
RB
Leipzig
want
around
€25
million
for
the
20-year-old,
a
figure
that
should
not
be
too
much
of
a
problem
for
the
Red
Devils.

It
will
be
quite
interesting
to
see
whether
Manchester
United
can
manage
to
beat
Ajax
for
the
signature
of
Brobbery.
They
certainly
have
a
huge
advantage
thanks
to
the
presence
of
Ten
Hag,
a
manager
who
knows
the
player
inside
out
and
has
also
brought
the
most
out
of
him
in
the
past.
However,
the
Dutchman
will
have
massive
shoes
to
fill
in
if
he
is
signed
as
the
replacement
of
Ronaldo,
one
of
the
greatest
players
of
all
time.

Brobbery
definitely
has
a
lot
of
potential
but
he
has
not
been
consistent
enough
which
is
pretty
understandable
considering
he
is
still
pretty
much
in
the
development
phase
of
his
career.
With
more
experience
and
playing
time,
he
could
become
world-class
but
he
is
probably
not
ready
yet
to
become
the
first-choice
striker
at
a
club
like
United.
