Erik ten Hag insists nothing but the best will do for Manchester United in this summer’s transfer market, regardless of who the club’s owners are.
The Dutchman faces an uncertain summer with the club currently up for sale.
The Glazer family are yet to decide whether to fully sale the club, to seek partial investment or to remain in charge.
That’s despite a third round of bids being placed for the club at the end of last month.
It means the board have been unable to clarify a transfer budget with Ten Hag, given it’s unclear who will be in charge of the club.
Ten Hag wants a centre forward, a central midfielder, a right-back and a goalkeeper this summer but without the new owners in place, the Glazers are likely to be reluctant to spend any cash.
But the Dutchman insists that the club must buy his top targets if they’re to meet their goals next season and he says that must be the case, regardless of who’s in charge.
Asked about the ongoing situation with the club’s sale, Ten Hag said:
‘It’s not up to me, it is an aspect of the club that other people deal with, the owners.
‘I have to develop and to progress the team, and to of course plan. I will go for high standards, so I am planning my squad for next season in the background, with high standards. Then it is up to the others to decide if the finances are there.’
United’s win against Wolves on Saturday got the club’s top four pursuit back on track.
The Red Devils need two more wins to guarantee a Champions League spot.

Glazers have an hidden agenda to let Ratcliffe in with some sort of understanding & keep out Saudis by hook or crook. Not in good interest of Club like United. If they succeed, then United will not be able to spend on the players they need. Lots of tits bits players have undermine our progress. Time to get the best. ETH is very right in his mind. He wants the best for the team. Selling unwanted players will certainly help to coup lot of cash to be splash on new recruitment. Need at least 6 players for ETH 2.0. CF,CDM,RB,CB & young GK. Apart from this we need to make deal of Sabitzer permanent. Sell Martial, Sancho,Fred,Scot,Maguire,Telles, Baily,VDB,Henderson,Dalot,Elanga. Let Weghorst & Butland go. Tuanzebe,Heaton & Jones to leave on free transfer. Bring back Greenwood in scheme of things next season. So our squad next season should be Kane/ Greenwood( CF), Rashford,Garnacho( LW),Bruno/Sabitzer( no 10), Antony/ Amad/ Pellistri(RW), Eriksen/Casemiro/ Neves/Mainoo/Iqbal ( CDM), Shaw/Malacia(LB), Varane/Martinez/Lindelof/Kim Min( CB),Bissaka/Frimpong(RB), Gea/Vanbrugger( GK).
