Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag admits he's unsure of his summer budget.
Ten Hag has made it no secret they need to spend big again to continue building his squad.
I don't have influence on that," the Dutchman said about available funds.
"I don't know.
"The only thing I know is that Manchester United is one of the biggest clubs, among maybe the two biggest clubs in the world from a fanbase perspective.
"So, I think this club has to compete for the highest in the world, so Champions League, Premier League.
"But in football you need funds to construct squads because the level from your players makes you successful or not."
He also said, "I, we, see this as a project.
"In a project also it belongs that you are in windows, that you strengthen your squad needs or to make refreshments, so that you get more balance, definitely, and you bring young players in.
"But I think we already have shown and proved that we can beat the best teams in the world, so, yeah, I think we can compete in the Champions League."
