Joel Glazer's Man Utd transfer wish granted but Erik ten Hag appears to have another plan

Erik ten Hag's latest Manchester United signing could scupper Joel Glazer's transfer wishes as the £85million-man Antony is likely to reduce Anthony Martial's game time.

United were tracking the Brazilian international for the majority of the window, before finally pulling the trigger on the mega-money move that will add some much-needed spark to the Red Devils' faltering forward line. Martial enjoyed a promising pre-season, but injuries have curtailed his chances of proving he is worthy of another opportunity as United's main central attacking option.

As a result, Ten Hag has overseen the signing of another player - potentially to the dismay of United co-owner Joel Glazer, who is a huge fan of France international Martial. Such a fan, in fact, the American businessman is rumoured to have blocked Martial's exit during Jose Mourinho's reign as boss.
