Manchester United are showing plenty of signs of improvement under Erik ten Hag, but the Dutchman is already planning major changes to his squad this summer.
United splurged £220million before the 2022/23 campaign began to bring in Antony, Casemiro, Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez. They simply cannot afford to do something similar in the upcoming off-season, with £307m in transfer fees still owed and UEFA’s new Financial Stability rules on the horizon.
Ten Hag knows the financial restrictions the club are working under, with the loan move for Wout Weghorst a clear reminder in the wake of Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure. The Dutchman’s desire to sign a world-class striker and midfielder this summer will require some sales.
