It's not just the unresolved takeover saga that is affecting Manchester United's business in the transfer market this summer.
Erik ten Hag has been determined to overhaul his squad, and seemingly took the first big step on Wednesday when Mason Mount officially signed for £60million. The club are also set to make a second big money bid for Inter Milan keeper Andre Onana, with David de Gea's contract having expired.
But links to a £100 million move for Spurs striker Harry Kane have not come to a fruition. And whether Ten Hag will have the funds for any more key signings remains to be seen, as Sheikh Jassim and Sir Jim Ratcliffe await news on whether either of their bids to takeover at Old Trafford will be accepted.
