ERIK TEN HAG’S summer plans have been thrown into chaos after after a transfer budget freeze was imposed on Man Utd, leaving him “concerned”.
The potential sale of the Premier League club has led to a “worrying vacuum at a crucial stage” which is now threatening to scupper the manager’s recruitment.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe is currently in talks with the Glazer family alongside Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani over purchasing United with a preferred bidder believed to be close to being announced after three rounds of bidding.
And the Daily Mirror claims that Ten Hag is “concerned that what should be a positive moment for the club could be derailed by the uncertainty caused by the club’s sale”.
The Dutchman has already secured his first piece of silverware at Old Trafford with the Carabao Cup in February.
United also look set to return to the Champions League and have an FA Cup Final against Man City at Wembley on June 3 to look forward to also.
Ten Hag wanted to continue that momentum by bringing in some top-notch additions over the summer window.
We exclusively revealed how Neymar could potentially be heading to United.
And Tottenham striker Harry Kane and Napoli’s Victor Osimhen also remain top targets for the Red Devils.
Meanwhile, PSG megastar Kylian Mbappe has also been linked with a sensational switch.

However, this fresh update states that all moves “are now all on the back-burner while rival bidders compete for control of United”.
Due to the ongoing takeover, The Mirror states that club chiefs have put a “budget freeze in place” which has left Ten Hag’s plans in limbo.
That means that he is at risk of missing out on his preferred transfer targets until “a clearer picture emerges” of who will be in charge of the club.
And this report also states that Ten Hag is feeling “frustrated” over the situation and that he has sought out chief executive Richard Arnold for direction.
