Here is a list of every player that Manchester United has acquired since hiring manager Erik ten Hag in the summer of 2016.
In his first year as Manchester United’s manager, Erik ten Hag has presided over a lot of adjustments.
The manager left Ajax last summer after concluding a fruitful tenure there by leading the club to the Eredivisie title. Ten Hag was met with a United team that, in accordance with the club’s expectations, had space for growth after finishing sixth under interim manager Ralf Rangnick.
United returned to the Champions League spots in his first season, won the Carabao Cup, advanced to the FA Cup final, and ge will look to expand on that early success in the upcoming year. Here is a look at how the 16 players that were signed under Ten Hag’s reign at Old Trafford have performed thus far.
It should be noted that eight players were not graded since they either never played for United or signed this summer and did not have enough opportunity to establish themselves.
Originally signed with Newcastle United
Following United’s decision to permit Dean Henderson to depart on loan, the skilled goalkeeper was brought in. Despite being back at Newcastle when the Carabao Cup final rolled around, he participated twice in United’s run to victory and was awarded a winners’ medal.
Wout Weghorst 7.
Cost: Loan

Antony 6.
Fee: £88.3m
Submitted by: Ajax

Tyrell Malacia 4.
Fee: £14.7m
Feyenoord signed this.
In his first season, the left-back made a total of 39 appearances and competed well against Luke Shaw. Malacia’s injury had already shown how important he was to United’s depth in the squad, and when he is fully recovered, he will be hoping to stake his claim once more.
Christian Eriksen, third
No charge for transfer
Eriksen impressed United during his touching return season with Brentford, which led them to sign him. Eriksen was excellent in the first half of the season, but once he recovered from an ankle injury, his impact diminished. This season’s signings of Mason Mount and Sofyan Amrabat should be advantageous for him because they will give him time to recuperate and prevent burnout.
Casemiro 2.
Fee: £70m
from Real Madrid when acquired
The Brazilian had a game-changing impact and was crucial to United’s relative success the previous season. The 31-year-old has frequently been exposed due to changes to the team’s midfield in the early weeks of the new season, but Amrabat’s signing could aid him.
Lisandro Martinez, 1
