Man Utd tell agents to ‘find best free transfers’ as they lack ‘bottomless pit of cash’
According to reports, Erik ten Hag will have £100m to spend this summer so Man Utd have told agents to ‘find the best free transfers’.
Last month it was confirmed that Ajax boss Ten Hag will take over from Ralf Rangnick this summer.
Rangnick has been United’s interim boss since the start of December. Under the German, Man Utd have stuttered as he has only won eleven of his 28 games in charge.

There is set to be a big overhaul at Man Utd this summer. Jesse Lingard, Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic and Edinson Cavani are among the players set to leave.
The Sun are reporting that Ten Hag will not have a ‘bottomless pit of cash’ to spend on new players. He is reportedly being given a £100m budget.
Due to this, Man Utd have ‘told agents to find the best free transfers’ ahead of this summer.
It is said that United’s failure to qualify for the Champions League has ‘hit them hard’ financially.
Paulo Dybala, Franck Kessie and Ousmane Dembele are mentioned as possible targets for Man Utd.
