It's Ten Hag's Own Fault If MU Runs Out of Money

The financial constraints at Manchester United are believed to be a consequence of their transfer policy, which, according to some, is blamed on Erik ten Hag. The club has yet to show significant activity in the January transfer market, which has been ongoing for two weeks. Despite being linked with Timo Werner, the player ultimately joined Tottenham Hotspur.

Manchester United has let go of two players, Jadon Sancho and Donny van de Beek, on loan. This decision is expected to free up some space for them to bring in new players.

Financially, there are strong indications that MU is running out of funds to recruit players. After spending on acquisitions like Mason Mount, Andre Onana, and Rasmus Hojlund in the summer, MU had to borrow Sofyan Amrabat and Sergio Reguilon to bolster the squad.

In Amrabat's case, Fiorentina, his actual owner, was willing to sell him at a relatively affordable price, ranging between £20-25 million. However, due to financial constraints, MU opted to loan him first with a potential permanent purchase option later on.

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher criticized Ten Hag for the impact of what is considered an unwise transfer policy. Big-money signings like Jadon Sancho, Antony, Casemiro, and Mount are deemed to have failed to deliver the expected results, ultimately becoming a financial burden.

"Carragher wrote in The Telegraph, 'The recent big-money signings by United are his responsibility. He had three transfer windows to streamline the squad, but poor resource management has led the team to regress this season, despite substantial investments.' 'If there's no money left at Manchester United in this transfer window, which might be his last chance, it's his own fault,' Carragher added."
