7 deals Man Utd can complete after Erik ten Hag discovers modest summer transfer budget

Erik ten Hag will reportedly be given a £120million transfer budget at Manchester United this summer, meaning that he could sell some of United's out of favour stars if he wants to boost his potential spend.

According to The Times, Ten Hag wants to sign up to five players in a variety of different positions, with two defenders, at least one midfielder and two attackers being targeted. Of course, £120m is a lot of money, but in todays market and with so many positions needed filling, it won't get United very far.

Therefore, Ten Hag will need to make sales in order to boost the funds available to him, making for a hectic summer for director John Murtough. And seven stars could potentially be sold to raise finances for Ten Hag to make a real difference this summer.

Unfortunately for United, they thought they were set to receive £20m for Andreas Pereira, who is currently on loan at Brazilian side Flamengo. But even though it seemed like a guaranteed sale, they have changed their mind and the midfielder will be on his way back to United this summer.

But Pereira surely has no future at United, and even if they can raise £15m from a sale it could go a long way. Another star set to return from a loan spell is Anthony Martial, as Sevilla are reportedly not interested in making the move permanent.

It's yet to be seen whether the Frenchman has a future under Ten Hag, but if Martial can find a new admirer is could bring in a cool £25m, which is what he is currently valued at according to Transfermarkt. Whereas United need more attacking reinforcements, defensively they need to replace surplus stars, and it could be a fire sale this summer.
