Erik ten Hag has told Manchester United's owners they have to invest this summer and avoid a repeat of the January transfer window if they want to kick on next season.
Ten Hag took aim at the Glazers over a lack of spending in January when he could only sign Jack Butland, Marcel Sabitzer and Wout Weghorst on loan, claiming United's rivals splashed the cash.
Newcastle signed Anthony Gordon and Liverpool snapped up Cody Gakpo in the mid-season window, with Gakpo a player Ten Hag wanted until he was told the club couldn't afford any permanent signings after spending £225million in the summer.
