How Sheikh Jassim takeover could immediately add £41m to Manchester United's transfer budget

When the Glazers announced they would 'seek strategic alternatives' for Manchester United back in November, few expected we'd still be waiting for a conclusion come the beginning of the summer transfer window.

Since then, United have wrapped up a Carabao Cup - the club's first trophy in six years - as well as securing a Premier League top four finish, Champions League football for next season and an FA Cup runners-up medal.

All in all, it has been an encouraging first season for Erik ten Hag who is now finding his plans to kick on this summer hampered by the ongoing debacle around the club's ownership.

United are having to work under a strict budget of between £100m to £120m this summer due to Financial Fair Play regulations and the lack of investment from the Glazers.
