Erik ten Hag will reportedly be ready to listen to offers for five Manchester United players after finding out his transfer budget for the season.
The Ajax boss is expected to oversee a major overhaul of United's squad after a dismal campaign. A number of players are already set to leave when their contracts expire in June, such as Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard.
But ESPN reports that Ten Hag believes the approximate £150million budget he’ll be given for transfer this summer won't be enough to make his desire changes. As a result, five in-contract United players could be shown the door if suitable offers come in.

The report claims that one of those he will put up for sale is Aaron Wan-Bissaka. The defender has failed to develop at a quick enough rate in the eyes of many United fans and has been left out by Ralf Rangnick in recent weeks.
Meanwhile, fringe players Eric Bailly, Phil Jones, Alex Telles and Sevilla-loaned Anthony Martial may also be sold by ten Hag according to reports.
The same article also claims that the Old Trafford hierarchy have distanced themselves from Rangnick’s claim that the club need “10 new players” following their 4-0 loss to Liverpool. Instead they are aiming for three new signings in the summer.
Rangnick is due to move ‘upstairs’ after his interim manager tenure comes to an end this summer into a consultancy role. But he may persuade the board to make more than three signings following his time on the training pitch with the current squad.
