Erik ten Hag tells Man Utd bosses to make £115million double transfer swoop a priority

Erik ten Hag has told Manchester United to make signing Ajax defender Jurrien Timber and Benfica striker Darwin Nunez a priority.

The new United boss has spent his first few days at Old Trafford drawing up a list of potential targets after speaking with football director John Murtough, technical director Darren Fletcher and recruitment consultant Ralf Rangnick.

Ten Hag wants to make SIX signings this summer - but understands that his wishes hinge on him being able to shift unwanted players out of the bloated squad he has inherited to raise cash. Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong also interests Ten Hag, but he would come at a significant cost as Barcelona look to raise money for their own rebuild.
