Manchester United’s dismal season could affect their ability to attract players to Erik ten Hag’s planned overhaul this summer.
Ten Hag is readying himself to leave Ajax and take over from Ralf Rangnick at the end of the season after signing a three-year contract with the option of a further year at United. The Dutchman will be backed in the transfer market, with United in desperate need of fresh blood following a dreadful campaign under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Rangnick.
With Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Edinson Cavani among those out of contract and doubts hanging over many other players, Ten Hag will need to make use of the summer transfer window, for which he has been given a £100million budget by United. Although he is still focused on concluding Ajax’s season by winning the Eredivisie, the 52-year-old has already begun considering transfers for the 2022/23 campaign.
