Erik ten Hag delivers fresh demand to Manchester United bosses over eight players

Erik ten Hag reportedly wants to put an end to Manchester United 's calamitous contract policy.

The Red Devils boss, who took the reins at Old Trafford less than five months ago, has demanded that the club's board refuse to hand out any new deals until he identifies who warrants them. In recent years, previous managers such as Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer have had contract decisions taken out of their hands.

It's left United with a bloated squad, weighed down by unwanted players sitting on eye-watering deals and unwilling to give up their fat wage packets by joining new clubs But there'll be no more of that if Ten Hag gets his way, as the Telegraph claim that the 52-year-old wants to use the next six weeks before the World Cup to determine who's up for the task of bringing the glory days back to Old Trafford.
