ERIK TEN HAG was quick on his toes when he was asked by kids if he would sign Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham for Manchester United.
The Red Devils are among the clubs interested in signing Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund after his impressive performances for the club and for England at the World Cup in Qatar.
Whereas Mbappe is already considered one of the best attackers in the world following his consistent goalscoring exploits with PSG and France.
The duo are probably among the most wanted players in Europe due to their ability and young age.
While Ten Hag was driving out of Manchester United’s training ground in Carrington, he stopped to sign some autographs and posing for pictures.
During his encounter, he was filmed as one fan asked “Do you think you’re going to sign Jude Bellingham?”

Ten Hag responded saying, “I want to but”, and before he finished his sentence, the fan also asked, “or Mbappe”.
And while he was about to answer, another fan suggested, “can you get both?”
To which he replied: “Ah, do you have some pennies for me?”
The reply went down as well as people started laughing and the fan replied: “We will find the pennies for you.

“You just keep doing what you are doing, we will find the pennies.”
The 52-year-old has confirmed that he would like to bring in a forward this month following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo.
He said: “Two things. Impulse can come out of our own club. See Garnacho, see Elanga, see Pellistri, who made a good impression at the World Cup and also in training. That is first.
“Second, yes, we are aware we lost a striker, so I think we have to get a striker in, but it has to be the right one.
“The right one is a player that brings quality to the team, not just adding to the squad because that only gives you problems.
“And, you know the criteria is high here at Manchester United.”
