Erik ten Hag learns impact of Man Utd sale on transfer budget as Glazers set huge price

Erik ten Hag has been reassured the Glazer family's sale of Manchester United will not have a negative impact on his transfer budget.

The Glazers, who have been the custodians of the club for nearly two decades, are hoping to pocket nearly £8billion from the sale. The Americans have been heavily criticised for their ownership of United since legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.

Outgoing owners can be reluctant to invest in clubs while a takeover is in progress, yet Ten Hag's fears have been eased after talks with chief executive Richard Arnold. The Dutchman spent more than £200million on new players during the previous transfer window.
