Erik ten Hag is said to be furious that Manchester United's takeover saga has foiled his plan to sign West Ham skipper Declan Rice.
The Glazers put United up for sale in November, but the situation is yet to be resolved. Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani and INEOS chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe, among other parties, are battling to take over the Premier League giants.
There is a concern the saga will not conclude until after the summer transfer window, throwing Ten Hag's plans into doubt. The Glazers will not hand the United boss a huge budget if they are selling up, although there will be some cash for new players.
