Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag will have money to spend in the January market.

The Sun says Ten Hag will be backed by new shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe as they seek to lift the squad and push for Champions League qualification.

A club source said: January will be a big month for United. The deal involving Sir Jim should be done by then, and this will free up funds for Ten Hag to reset his squad.

He's targeting a forward who can play on either flank and a right full-back.

There's a massive question mark over (Jadon) Sancho and (Anthony) Martial - neither are thought to be a part of the manager's long-term plans. Both could move on.

Despite the difficulties of the first few weeks of the season, Ten Hag remains very confident and will be using the international break to try and work with the wider squad.

He's convinced they can finish in the top four. Even though their form has been erratic, they are still within touching distance of those places. Now they have to kick on.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his team won't be coming in and demanding changes to the management. Ten Hag will get time to prove he's the person to take the club back to past glories."
