"New problem for them" - Journalist hints at major fresh Man Utd issue now facing Ten Hag

Manchester United are facing up to the prospect of a ‘new problem’ as there are concerns that Erik ten Hag will be unable to secure ‘genuine upgrades’ on stars set to leave Old Trafford this summer, according to transfer insider Dean Jones.

Ten Hag will walk away from current employers Ajax in favour of becoming Manchester United’s new manager at the end of the season.

Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Edinson Cavani, Juan Mata and Lee Grant have entered the final weeks of their respective Manchester United careers as their contracts are due to expire in the summer.

However, they are not the only stars who appear to be on their way out of Old Trafford following a disappointing campaign which will see them fail to qualify for the Champions League.

Defensive midfielder Nemanja Matic has also announced that he will leave the Red Devils in the coming weeks despite his £120,000-per-week deal still having a year to run.

Central defenders Eric Bailly and Phil Jones have reportedly outlined their intentions to find an escape route from the red half of Manchester by telling their team-mates that they will move onto pastures new in the summer.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka could also be on his way out of Manchester United as former club Crystal Palace are interested in sealing his return to Selhurst Park, potentially on loan.

Manchester United’s poor form means they are unable to finish higher than sixth in the Premier League this season.

Jones feels two stars who are set to walk away from the Red Devils have been among their best performers in recent weeks.

The transfer insider also fears ten Hag may find it difficult to genuinely improve the squad he inherits
