Manchester United: Boss Erik ten Hag Unsure Of Summer Transfer Budget Amid Old Trafford Takeover Saga1 min read
Manchester United have won 12 of their 16 Premier League home games under Erik ten Hag
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag admits he does not know what his summer transfer budget will be due to ongoing uncertainty over the club’s takeover.
Sheikh Jassim and Sir Jim Ratcliffe last week submitted bids to buy varying controlling stakes in the club from the Glazer family and await a decision.
United sit fourth in the Premier League in Ten Hag’s first season, are in the FA Cup final and won the Carabao Cup.
“I don’t have influence on that,” the Dutchman said about available funds.
“I don’t know.
“The only thing I know is that Manchester United is one of the biggest clubs, among maybe the two biggest clubs in the world from a fanbase perspective.
“So, I think this club has to compete for the highest in the world, so Champions League, Premier League.
“But in football you need funds to construct squads because the level from your players makes you successful or not.”
