Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has sent out a subtle warning to all Premier League clubs, particularly the other five teams part of the traditional so called 'big six'. Liverpool, Man City, Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea have all likely enjoyed United's recent shortcomings, but that trend could soon come to an end.
Last month it was confirmed the Glazer family, who own Manchester United, were considering intentions to examine potential sources of outside investment which could see the club sold. In a club statement United also announced their plans to explore strategic alternatives which could see benefits on the pitch and off it.
Since Ten Hag's arrival from Ajax, there have been clear improvements made at the club with United sat fifth, three points behind Spurs in fourth. The Red Devils also progressed to the next round of the Europa League, although they are set to face Barcelona in the competition's knockout play-off round.
