Erik ten Hag 'demanding 100% involvement in Manchester United transfers'

Ajax boss Erik ten Hag has reportedly told Manchester United that he wants 'to be 100% involved' in the club's transfer activity and the issuing of new contracts.

The Dutchman is widely expected to be named Man United's new head coach in the coming weeks, and he is likely to be handed a healthy transfer budget in the upcoming market.

According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, the 52-year-old has made it clear to the Red Devils that he wants a '100% involvement' in present and future transfers, as the new arrivals have to fit his project.

Meanwhile, Romano also claims that the manager wants to be involved in the issuing of new deals, with the club currently believed to be working on extending the contracts of a number of players.

Man United have allegedly already identified Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane and West Ham United's Declan Rice as transfer targets for the upcoming market.

Meanwhile, Ten Hag is believed to be keen to bring a couple of Ajax players with him to Old Trafford, with Jurrien Timber and Antony both thought to be under consideration.

The 20-time English champions are currently battling to finish in the top four in the Premier League, currently sitting seventh in the table, three points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, ahead of Saturday's clash with Everton.
