Ten Hag is United's fifth permanent manager since Sir Alex Ferguson left the club in 2013. Since then, they have spent a lot in the transfer market, with none of those investments yielding any returns.
The Dutch tactician will be keen to remedy that and stamp his authority on the squad stylistically by adding his preferred personnel where possible in this window.
His exploits with Ajax Amsterdam are what made him an attractive candidate for the United hierarchy, and it appears it is his former club he is prepared to raid for reinforcements.
Brazilian winger Antony is said to be likely to be Ten Hag's first acquisition for the Red Devils, with the reigning Eredivisie champions believed to be close to agreeing a fee for the 22-year-old.
It could cost the Red Devils £40 million (R781 million) to bring the former Sao Paulo man to Old Trafford, according to The Sun.
His teammates Jurrien Timber and Lisandro Martinez are also said to be high up on Ten Hag's wish list as he looks to shore up his team's backline.
United will be facing stiff competition from rivals Arsenal for the signature of the latter, though, with the Gunners said to have already had a bid rejected by the Dutch side but remain interested.

Following the departures of Jesse Lingard, Paul Pogba and Juan Mata, midfield is perhaps the area of the squad that needs the most attention.
The 13-time Premier League champions reportedly remain in talks with Barcelona to negotiate a fee for another one of Ten Hag's former players in Frenkie de Jong.
As per transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Catalan giants are willing to sell the deep-lying playmaker but not for a fee lower than €86 million (R1.4 billion).
Another midfielder United are believed to be keen to bring to the Theatre of Dreams is Denmark star Christian Eriksen. The Dane is currently out of contract having just completed a successful short stint with Premier League minnows Brentford.
The Red Devils have reportedly offered the 30-year-old a contract and are awaiting a response from the former Inter Milan man.
Here are some transfers that have already been completed for the 2022/23 season:
