Man Utd sanction ‘three marquee signings’ after Ten Hag talks as six for sale

Erik ten Hag has been told he can make ‘three marquee signings’ for Manchester United this summer, but as many as six senior stars could be sold in order to make up the funds necessary to bring them to the club.

Ten Hag has turned things around at Old Trafford this season, guiding the club to Carabao Cup glory, with three further trophies still in the offing.

It’s thought Anthony Martial, Donny Van de Beek, Scott McTominay, Dean Henderson, Brandon Williams and Harry Maguire could all be on their way out of Old Trafford.
