Guardiola has specific preferences when looking for new players to strengthen his team. For example, when the Spanish coach wanted a player who had left-footed ability, then Riyad Mahrez was recruited.

Another player bought by City is Aymeric Laporte. Because Nicolas Otamendi, Vincent Kompane and John Stones, when in 2018, no one had the ability to have a capable left-back as a central defender.

Quoted from Manchestereveningnews , Thursday (28/7), now, Ten Hag is following in the footsteps of the former Barcelona coach.

He landed Lisandro Martinez to Old Trafford. The player who plays as a center back has a dominant left foot ability. Because Harry Maguire has been shifted to the right after previously playing on the left.

Martinez is the only United center back whose left foot is more dominant than the right, unlike Maguire, Raphael Varane, Phil Jones, Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof.

Ten Hag are also looking for a right winger who has quality left-footed ability for this season. Ajax winger, Antony, is the main target for MU for this position. However, the defending Dutch Eredivisie champion was adamant that he did not want to sell Antony.

Guardiola and Ten Hag met at Bayern Munich. But this time they will meet as rivals in the English Premier League. Both are considered to have the same idea.
