It’s been a transfer window full of surprises, and Manchester United could be set to carry on this trend.

Erik ten Hag is a known admirer of the player and is reportedly keen on the idea of bringing him this summer.

According to the report, “Erik ten Hag has expressed his interest in bringing Hakim Ziyech to Old Trafford.

However, while Ten Hag is keen for a deal to be made, it is understood that not everyone at United is as keen on the idea. AC Milan have been heavily linked with the 29-year-old this summer, but an official offer has yet to be tabled to Blues officials.”
