Manchester United are planning a grand welcome for Erik ten Hag to mark the beginning of a new era, and Ralf Rangnick’s revelation about their transfer plans will be music to the ears of the incoming head coach.
Ten Hag has verbally agreed to take over as Man United coach with a four-year contract as the Red Devils bring an end their search for their new permanent boss, although the appointment is yet to be officially announced. Under the 52-year-old, there is optimism United can replicate what Liverpool and Manchester City have achieved under their long-term plans.
But in order to do that, Ten Hag will be need to be backed in every area. And with the United squad requiring another major overhaul this summer, the club will have to be prepared to begin writing cheques with significant value.
