Manchester United have benefited greatly from the players that Erik ten Hag chose to bring on during the summer transfer window.
The Red Devils are currently on a four game winning streak and the likes of Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez have been sensational in all of those games.
While the defense has certainly improved by leaps and bounds, the addition of Eriksen has changed the way midfield has played this season.
The Ideal ETH Midfield
Ten Hag’s main pick to fill the deeper role was Barcelona playmaker Frenkie de Jong. Instead, United opted for Casemiro after the De Jong impasse refused to be cleared up.

And the Dutch manager is still interested in adding another midfielder and rumors have already started linking the Red Devils with another move for Barca star and Borussia Dortmund’s highly coveted English youngster Jude Bellingham.
Another name that has been doing the rounds in the summer and has been considered for a move in the future is Brighton general midfielder Moises Caicedo.
The Ecuadorian has been in good form this season and was one of the standout players during the Gaviotas’ opening day win against Ten Hag’s side.
United had the chance to acquire the 20-year-old when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was manager, but Brighton jumped on it when United turned down the chance to sign the youngster.
Valencia wants Caicedo to join Utd
And Caicedo has impressed so much that, following Graham Potter’s departure to Chelsea, speculation has mounted that the England manager wants his former general midfielder to join him in London.
And United legend Antonio Valencia feels the Ecuadorian international’s skills make him a perfect fit for one of the Premier League’s big teams.
The former right-back, however, urged his compatriot to choose United over any other club.
“Hopefully Moises Caicedo can go to a great team in England,” reports Studio Futbol. “He is a humble boy; he was born to be great and hopefully he can come to Manchester United”.
