With Erik ten Hag not yet certain of what kind of budget he will be handed this summer, the Manchester United manager may be drawing up a list of cheap buys.
Whichever way the takeover process goes, United will have to contend with Financial Fair Play rules after last year’s £225m spend. That means more exits than arrivals, with the exits funding the arrivals.
Ten Hag is eager to bring in a new midfielder as well as a marquee striker and the list of linked names is long. Mason Mount, Declan Rice and Alexis Mac Allister are but a few on it.
