Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag appears to have been frustrated by club officials after being keen to add to his squad in January.
Ten Hag oversaw a summer transfer window that was ultimately a busy one for United, with three deals concluded in the closing week to take the total incomings at Old Trafford up to six. The arrivals of Casemiro, Antony and Martin Dubravka followed those of Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez and Christian Eriksen.
The high number of incomings was a necessity as the exits of first-team players over the summer months went into double figures, including high-earning stars such as Paul Pogba, Edinson Cavani and Nemanja Matic. Cristiano Ronaldo remains intent on departing the Red Devils despite not getting his summer transfer exit wish, while other players are likely to be moved on.
