Ten Hag plans to continue recruiting former Ajax stars

Manchester United are continuing their policy of squad renewal after a few seasons far from the best in the Premier League. Erik ten Hag has been given the go-ahead to sign players who know his system well and next on the list of targets is Noussair Mazraoui.

The Moroccan full-back, who plays for Bayern Munich, rose to stardom under Ten Hag at Ajax, but has failed to replicate that extraordinary form in Germany. As a result, Mazraoui would be happy to reunite with his former coach at the Amsterdam club from 2018 to 2022.

Another point that Ten Hag values is the good tandem that the Moroccan formed with Antony on the right wing of the Dutch club in that period. The Brazilian has not been at a good level in England and the arrival of one of his best partners could perhaps be a starting point for the international winger to return to his former self.

Mazraoui, who joined Bayern Munich on a free transfer a couple of seasons ago, could leave for a fee of around 25 million euros, according to 'The Guardian'.

Before landing at the Allianz Arena club, Mazraoui made his Ajax debut during the 2017/18 term and was a key part of the team's successful 2018/19 season in which the side reached the Champions League semi-finals and came within a whisker of the final.
