Ten Hag sends worrying message over Man Utd transfer business as injuries continue to pile up

Erik ten Hag has revealed why Manchester United might not be able to afford to buy more players in the transfer window after suffering yet more injury issues on their current US tour.

Marcus Rashford and Antony both limped off in the 3-2 pre-season victory over Real Betis in San Diego in the early hours of Thursday morning, just days after Leny Yoro was ruled out for three months with a broken foot suffered in the loss to Arsenal and Rasmus Hojlund was sidelined for six weeks with a hamstring problem.

United are now facing the prospect of being without a plethora of key men for the start of the new Pre,ier League season, with the Red Devils hosting Fulham on Friday August 16.

But despite the club continually being linked with new additions, especially in defence and midfield, Ten Hag says it isn’t as straightforward as just dipping into the transfer market to strengthen the squad due to financial fair play (FFP) rules.

“Every club has those limitations,” the United manager said when asked about any more incomings this summer.
