The bidding process has gone on for six months and there are fears it will affect United’s transfer plans. The Glazers are still to decide whether to accept bids for the club from Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who is the favourite, or Qatari Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani. The situation is further complicated by the uncertainty about United’s ownership and it is understood that Ten Hag’s frustrations are shared internally within the club. All the clubs around us made huge investments, we didn’t, but still we made it.” “The club knows if you want to play top four, compete for trophies in this tough league then you have to invest, otherwise you don’t have a chance because other clubs will do,” Ten Hag said. United signed Wout Weghorst and, following Christian Eriksen’s injury, Marcel Sabitzer on loan. Ten Hag had wanted United to sign Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven in January only for the Dutch international to join Liverpool for an initial fee of £37 million. Ten Hag made pointed comments following United’s last Premier League game of the season, a 2-1 win at Old Trafford against Fulham, when he said their success this season, primarily earning a place back in the Champions League, had come despite a failure to back him in the winter transfer window. Mount is wanted by United, Liverpool and Arsenal and is yet to make a final decision over his future although the England international appears certain to leave Chelsea. Erik ten Hag is confident he can persuade Mason Mount to join Manchester United as part of a summer overhaul being demanded by the manager.
