Man United boss Erik ten Hag hails club after transfer moves

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag said they are on the front foot in the transfer market thanks to the club's leadership making quick and decisive moves to secure new players following the signings of Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee.

Since British billionaire and INEOS chairman Sir Jim Ratcliffe took control of football operations at Old Trafford after acquiring a 25% stake in February, United has not only witnessed a new hierarchy but also benefited from new ideas.

United signed French defender Yoro on a five-year contract for a fee of €62 million ($67m) on Thursday, the 18-year-old had been pursued by several top European clubs prior to his move to Manchester, including Real Madrid.
