Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is concerned about the club's long-term planning.

Ten Hag is confident he'll be in charge next season, but is worried about their market planning.

With deals for Newcastle technical director Dan Ashworth and Southampton sporting director Jason Wilcox stalling, Ten Hag feels the club is in a holding pattern.

The Dutchman is eager to see a transfer policy put in place and squad building work to get underway.

But for the moment, everything appears in limbo under new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
