Man United Staff Worry Over Ten Hag’s Agent’s Influence On Transfers

A host of Manchester United staff are reportedly showing concern over the influence Erik ten Hag’s agent had on players recruitment at the club in the summer transfer window.

United signed Mason Mount, Andre Onana, Rasmus Hojlund, Sergio Reguilon, Sofyan Amrabat and Altay Bayındır for £178 million in the summer. However, it has been reported that Ten Hag’s representative, Kees Vos had some influence in some of these transfer dealings.

According to the Daily Mail, Vos has a say in transfer dealings at Old Trafford through Sports Entertainment Group (SEG) – the company he co-founded in 2000.

Based on the publication, some United employees have voiced their concerns about Vos’ expanding engagement behind the scenes because he frequently stops by Old Trafford and the club’s Carrington training facility.

Hojlund is represented by SEG throughout negotiations with Atalanta. This is so because he had just been with the firm for a month before his move to Old Trafford.

In the negotiations that led to the Red Devils’ signing of Amrabat from Fiorentina, Vos and SEG also represented United.

The final agreement contained a possibility to buy the Moroccan outright at the conclusion of the current campaign.

Goal reports that senior club members at United have insisted that Vos’ position and his connection with Ten Hag are acceptable to them.

The son of the Dutch manager, Nigel, also works with SEG as an analyst. And United have noted that it is ‘not unusual’ for top clubs to have close ties to particular agencies.
