Despite the uncertainties surrounding the club’s ownership, Erik ten Hag is adamant that Manchester United will be appealing to potential star players in the offseason.
After taking over at Old Trafford last year, Ten Hag admitted on Friday that he occasionally had trouble persuading players to sign with United during the first transfer window.
The United manager is anticipated to be active in the close-season transfer market, with one of his top priorities being a goalscorer to relieve Marcus Rashford of some of the burden.
There are many unanswered uncertainties over United’s long-term future because the Glazer family hasn’t designated a favorite offerder among those attempting to purchase the club from the Americans.

Ten Hag, however, thinks he can convince potential customers of his clear vision.
After helping United win the League Cup, their first trophy in six years, reach the FA Cup final, and move into the top four of the Premier League with four games remaining, Ten Hag believes he has a clear vision to sell to potential players.
“I notice a significant difference from previous year. When I met with players last year, there were many reservations,” Ten Hag stated.
“Now that the project is underway, more parties are aware of its dynamics, ambition, and quality. They truly want to come, I can tell that much.
It appears that there were many reservations when we approached the players. Many excellent players genuinely want to attend this year.
If United can secure fourth place, Ten Hag’s discussions with players and their agents will go more smoothly.
The margin between United, who have a game in hand, and fifth-placed Liverpool has shrunk to one point as a result of the former’s consecutive losses and the latter’s team’s six-game winning streak.
“I believe that in sport, especially top football, there is always a test involved. Ten Hag said in advance of Saturday’s match against Wolves, “We can take confidence and take belief because we have demonstrated we have defeated the top teams in the world.
However, since we are in the correct position and must now complete the task, it will be a test of our courage.
