MANCHESTER. — Erik Ten Hag has been promised massive funds to rebuild Manchester United — despite plans by the Glazers to sell the English Premiership football club.
Boss Ten Hag splashed out an incredible £230million last summer on Casemiro, Antony, Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia.
And he claims Old Trafford chiefs have vowed to give him “more money for this project.”
The club’s US owners, the Glazers, are willing to listen to offers, potentially bringing an end to their 17-year ownership.
But Dutchman Ten Hag had talks over the club’s financial future with chief executive Richard Arnold last month and revealed: “We spoke about the culture we want, about objectives and goals.
“He confirmed they won’t change.
“It will be even better because more money will become available for this project.
“I was informed by the club, I’m not talking with the owners about this issue.
“My information is that it will only be good things because there will be more investment, which is good.”
Ten Hag wants to bring in a replacement for sacked striker Cristiano Ronaldo when the January transfer window opens.
And Benfica’s Portuguese World Cup star front man Goncalo Ramos — who has a claimed staggering £103m release clause — tops his list. PSV Eindhoven’s £60m-rated winger Cody Gakpo is also on his radar and there could also be a move for Chelsea attacker Christian Pulisic.
United’s US owners last month began looking at options for the 20-times English champions, including new investment or a potential sale, 17 years after buying the club.
The club’s fans have been clamouring for a change of ownership and the Glazers have been the target of intense criticism as the team, which has a record 13 English Premier League titles, have gone five years without winning a trophy.
Ten Hag said he had not spoken with the owners but had instead discussed the plans with United CEO Arnold. — The Sun.
