'Beckham era back': fans name best skill of the player Ten Hag 'wants' as his first Man United signing

According to German outlet Focus, Erik ten Hag wants Croatia international Borna Sosa as his first Manchester United signing.

Bundesliga side Stuttgart are said to be ready to sell the 24 left-back, who is also capable of playing at left wing-back, for £26 million.

And those football fans who follow the German football closely believe that the Red Devils could have the next David Beckham on their hands.

avolcando (via Reddit): "Elite crossing, long blonde hair... Beckham era back at Old Trafford!"

solgnaleb: "Insane crosser. He will get the ball to your 9. Defensively shaky though. More a wingback than a left back."

SparkedIntoLife (via RedCafe): "He's a very exciting player. Amazing delivery. Has to improve defensively but it'd be a smart signing at the rumoured price. Croatia usually produce very talented and, notably, hard working players."

Blood Mage: "Ten Hag's system needs attacking wing-backs so it's expected that we will be linked to players like this. Not sure if this kid is good enough though, he looks like another Alex Telles to me. He has a good cross on him but little else to his game."

Lux Thunder: "If ETH wants his left-back to be his main creative outlet from the left side, Sosa represents a low risk under the budget signing. Of course, the smart manager would play him to his strength, if he can suit his plans initially.
