Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag 'has plan to raise extra £100 million' with three major signings eyed

Erik ten Hag is planning to raise up to £100 million this summer by selling players, it has been reported, with the Manchester United boss eyeing three major signings.

United have not completed any incoming business so far this summer, despite teams around them already making moves.

Manchester City and Liverpool have strengthened their midfield, with Mateo Kovacic set to join the former from Chelsea and Alexis Mac Allister signing for the Reds from Brighton.

Arsenal, meanwhile, have reportedly scheduled a medical for Chelsea attacking midfielder Kai Havertz.

United attempted to secure a Chelsea midfielder of their own in Mason Mount, but pulled out of negotiations on Saturday due to the Blues' high asking price.

Ten Hag has had to be conservative in the market, with The Athletic claiming that United have £100 million to spend this summer due to Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations.

But according to a new report, the Dutchman has come up with a plan to raise extra funds - and use them to land three major signings.

Ten Hag sets Man Utd transfer plan

The Daily Mirror say that Ten Hag is willing to listen to offers for current United players Anthony Martial, Donny van de Beek, Fred and Anthony Elanga this summer.

And he will also allow club captain Harry Maguire and midfielder Scott McTominay to leave as he looks to reshape his squad.

It is claimed that selling all six players could raise up to £100 million to add to his transfer budget, which, on top of the funds already allocated to him, could help him to land three huge additions.

The report adds that Ten Hag is determined to sign players in three different positions, with a new attacker, midfielder and defender all targeted.

According to the Daily Mail, United have switched their attentions to Brighton's Moises Caicedo after failing to sign Mount.

They are also keen on Atalanta youngster Rasmus Hojlund as their new attacking addition, but his asking price has increased from £45 million to £70 million in the past week, as per The Independent.

The club are still in talks with goalkeeper David de Gea over a contract extension, meanwhile, with the Spanish shot-stopper's current deal expiring on June 30.
