Manchester United plot 'ambitious' £250m spending spree to ruin Chelsea and Spurs transfer plans

Chelsea are facing huge competition to sign West Ham midfielder Declan Rice in the summer transfer window with Manchester United reportedly plotting a huge spending spree to welcome Erik Ten Hag to Old Trafford.

Ten Hag is now the firm favourite to become Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's permanent successor for United, with the Ajax boss deemed to be a better fit to the current structure in place at the club. Mauricio Pochettino was also strongly linked with the role but it appears a consensus has been reached among the board.

Ralf Rangnick has enjoyed little success during his interim role with the Red Devils and is set to step into a consultancy position at the end of the current campaign. That is set to coincide with a hefty summer spending spree with Rice and Tottenham striker Harry Kane among the club's top targets, according to a report from The Telegraph.
