Ten Hag is keen to sign players but the delay in the ongoing takeover is holding him back
Erik ten Hag is reportedly growing increasingly frustrated with the ongoing takeover talks at Manchester United as they continue to hamper his transfer plans.
Ten Hag has been keen to advance with his summer transfer plans as they look to build on their top four finish and Carabao Cup win next season.
One of the names on his shopping list is West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice, however United will face competition from Manchester City and Chelsea as well as Arsenal, who are the favourites to secure his signature.
According to The Sun though, the Dutchman is becoming annoyed by the Glazers' reluctance to spend any significant money until the uncertainty of the club's ownership has been resolved.
Sheikh Jassim of the Qatari royal family is the current favourite however a deal has yet to be completed and even if approved, would have to undertake the Premier League's Owners’ and Directors’ Test.
United have several other targets in their mind and could also allegedly be looking for a new goalkeeper, with several reports suggesting that David De Gea will leave the club.
Jordan Pickford is one name mentioned while Man United are also on the hunt for a striker. Harry Kane, Rasmus Hojlund and Victor Osimhen are the names reportedly on the club's wish list.
