Mike Phelan has urged Manchester United to tighten up in all departments as Erik ten Hag and his misfiring team prepare to take on Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich on Wednesday night.
Why Manchester United signing Pierre-Emile Højbjerg would follow Erik ten Hag transfer trend
29.08.2023 - 04:43 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
The final week of the transfer window was always bound to throw up a few surprises but news of Manchester United's reported interest in Pierre-Emile Højbjerg certainly came out of the blue.
The Telegraph reported on Monday evening that Højbjerg had been offered to United, and with Erik ten Hag keen to add more depth in midfield between now and Friday's 11pm deadline, a move was being 'considered'. The Dutchman has seen his side exposed in that area of the pitch and will be without Mason Mount for Sunday's trip to Arsenal.
Højbjerg had been a regular feature for Tottenham under Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, but new manager Ange Postecoglou looks to have gone down another road. The Australian is open to letting his experienced midfielder go, and Spurs had already accepted a £30million bid from Atletico Madrid, only for the move to fall through.
Sofyan Amrabat had long been touted as the prime midfield target at United, while consideration was being given to a late move for Ryan Gravenberch. Both were known by Ten Hag, having played under the Dutchman at FC Utrecht and Ajax respectively, and that pattern might explain late links to Højbjerg.

Before making his name in England with Southampton, Højbjerg got his breakthrough in senior football with Bayern Munich. The Danish international moved to Bavaria as a 17-year-old in 2012, initially featuring for the reserve side. It was there that he met Ten Hag.
The Dutchman was appointed as coach of the under-19s side in 2013, working with a teenage Højbjerg during his time in Germany. Such was his admiration for the midfielder, that he tried to sign him for Ajax in the summer of 2020.
