Ten Hag believes Anthony Elanga, Scott McTominay, Marcus Rashford, and Jadon Sancho are the key to United’s revival, according to The Mirror.
Given his past record at Ajax, the Dutchman’s confidence may not come as a surprise.
Ten Hag led the development of European stars Frenkie de Jong and Mattijs de Ligt, whose sales brought in more than £150 million for the Dutch champions.
The Dutchman, who won his third Eredivisie title with a 5-0 victory over Heerenveen, also appears to believe the team he is departing in Holland has established the club up for success in the future.
“There is a massive amount of cash on the pitch,” he said. This summer, Ajax will sell players for at least another 100 million Euros.”
However, the new manager believes that talent acquisition is still necessary if the Red Devils are to compete in England again.
United are currently 31 points behind biggest rivals Manchester City and Liverpool, the most they have ever been in the Premier League.
A goal difference of just one reflects their defensive woes, with 56 goals conceded in 36 games.
The team has been linked with transfers in a variety of positions, with central midfield being an area of particular interest.
Frenkie de Jong and N’Golo Kante have been linked with the Red Devils, while Declan Rice and Aurelian Tchouameni rumours have been circulating for some time.
