Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag was always going to bag one marquee arrival irrespective of the club's takeover - but recruitment is now set to take a hit.
The Dutchman has just seen Mason Mount complete his move from Chelsea in what is his first summer signing. The two Premier League rivals had been haggling over a price for several weeks with the Red Devils ending up paying more than they would've liked.
That business was being done amid continued uncertainty over the club's future with the Glazers potentially selling up. The Athletic reports that agents were given the impression one major transfer wouldn't be an issue, but any after that would have to wait for clarity on the ownership.
