Manchester United will soon open pre-season training, but its new coach, brother Eric Tan, is not waiting for the last minute and wants to see as many familiar faces as possible in the opening training session.
According to reports, Tan Brother is interested in bringing with him from Ajax a number of players, in addition to Frankie de Jong who is expected to leave Barcelona and previously played for the Dutch champions, and for that to happen, the wallet needs to be opened.
United representatives have already made their way to Amsterdam more than once, to execute a double deal, valued at no less than £ 130 million, to land at Old Trafford two players: Anthony and Lisandro Martinez.

Tan Brother Optimistic,
The cash distribution puts a price of around £ 80 million on the Brazilian winger's head, while the Argentine brake is expected to require a sum of £ 50 million.
These are two talented and young players, aged 22 and 24 respectively, who were not alone on the Del Tan shopping list.
Ajax's Dutch defender Uriah Timber also wanted the coach, but the latter refused after receiving a warning from Dutch national team coach Luis van Gaal: "Moving to United may keep you out of the squad for the World Cup."
