The win at Old Trafford on Monday (22) was fulfilling but for Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, there is no room for complacency.

The Red Devils’ 2-1 win over Liverpool after two disappointing losses, including the 0-4 against Brentford, not only showed signs of a revival but also made evident the hard work that ten Hag has been putting in with what many say one of the worst Manchester United squads ever, since pre-season.

The Dutch, however, is in no mood to rest and according to a report by CaughtOffSide, he is still looking to better his squad before the transfer window closes next week.

The report cited Christian Falk as saying that one player that ten Hag is particularly eyeing on is Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp and is even personally involved to get him signed.

Ten Hag is looking for Trapp since he has a sole option in David De Gea as the goalkeeper after Manchester allowed Dean Henderson to go to Nottingham Forest on loan this summer.

Trapp could be a man to suit ten Hag’s needs of being able to play out from the back and is coming from a productive season with the German club, the report said, adding while De Gea has been one of the Red Devils’ best players over the last decade, he has come under the scanner of late over his style clashing with ten Hag.
