Manchester United have confirmed that they will hire Ajax's Tenhag to coach, and the British media has revealed that even if they do not qualify for next season's Champions League places, the club will still give the new manager "substantial funds" to restructure the squad. Stars such as Harry Kane are naturally on the Red Devils' list of luxury rumors.
According to the British "Daily Telegraph", one of the focal points of Manchester United's negotiations with Tenhag is naturally the funds of the summer transfer window, and the club has promised to give him sufficient transfer fees, even if he does not qualify for next season's Champions League. United also intend to sell marginal players and send away players whose contracts have expired to raise more money and free up salary space.
Manchester United needs to strengthen the position of the main position is the back, forward and other positions, different British media have given different candidate lists. According to the Daily Telegraph, Manchester United are considering bringing in Tottenham striker Harry Kane, while midfielders are West Ham captain Deklan Rice, Leeds United's Calvin Phillips, Borussia Dortmund's jude Bellingham and Aston Villa's John McGinn.
Other British media listed Manchester United's back-up targets include Wolves' Ruben Neves and Ajax's Ryan Grafenberger.
However, Spurs' transfer fees for Kane and West Ham for Rice are all more than 150 million pounds, and Manchester United may not be easy to buy. Borussia Dortmund are also unlikely to sell Erlin Haaland and Bellingham at the same time, with tenhaks' interested midfielder Grafenberg said to have reached a personal deal with Bayern Munich and is believed to be moving to the Bundesliga.
As a result, the Manchester Evening News said that Manchester United worked harder to sign England international Phillips of Leeds United, who partnered with Rice as the main back of the England team at the European Championships last year. The newspaper said Manchester United were moving forward with a deal to sign Phillips, who was preparing to leave Leeds United to join a team that could play in Europe.
The 26-year-old Phillips, who is probably United's most promising back, is negotiating a new contract with Leeds United, but the extension has been extended to this summer due to a change of agent, which has added opportunities to sworn enemies Manchester United. In the past, United have bought back important players such as Cantona, Leo Ferdinand and Alain Smith from Leeds United, so they are confident of moving to the next city in Phillips.
If none of the above goals can be achieved, then Villa's Scotland international McGinn will be Manchester United's bottom option. As for the target that emerged this week, Wolves main Ruben Neves, due to the high price of the other side, I am afraid that there will be no following. United are hoping for a £40m introduction of the Portugal international, but the team's manager Bruno Laghe says there is no £100 million to spare.
The Wolves boss said: "I don't know if Manchester United or any other team wants to sign him, what I know is that this is a special player, he has been very good this season, our play has made Ruben (Neves) and he has made great progress. When you have a player like that, the best thing to do is to renew his contract with a salary raise, he's both offensive and defensive, and he's a great player. So the big clubs have a crush on him, and they can pay £100 million for a player."
"I wanted to keep him for as long as possible, but I also wanted João Felix to stay in Benfica and then Atletico bid £100 million and all of a sudden he was gone! What club can really turn down an offer of £80m, £90m or £100 million today? Maybe there are five or six clubs in the world. But don't think about the price cut, you'll notice that I keep raising the price!"
