Erik ten Hag insists he will still have transfer veto at Manchester United

As it stands, Ten Hag has a veto on all transfers, with the Dutchman playing a huge role in the signings that the club have made since his arrival in 2022.

The football department at Old Trafford is now being restructured under new minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe, with director of sport at INEOS Sir Dave Brailsford set to be heavily involved.

Dan Ashworth is also set to arrive as the new sporting director, and it had been thought that Ten Hag would no longer be involved in the signings at the club.

However, the Dutchman, speaking during his press conference on Friday afternoon, has insisted that he will be able to reject signings, with all of the senior figures 'working together' in the transfer market.

«When I came in, I also got the direction. It's normal that the club dictates the style. So you have to get agreement about this,» Ten Hag told reporters.

«And that is how I work now. So we want to play. And that was given before by the leaders of this club. They want to play proactive, dynamic attacking football. And that is, I think, during my time here, we always try to do.

»Yes, I'm sure it's control. And I have had the talks with them about it and they will not bring in players who the manager doesn't want because it will not work.

«And we will work there, together with suggestions and bringing players in and discussing. And then it's about picking the right players, it's about cooperation and it's about togetherness. That is the way they want to work.»

Ten Hag has also backed Antony to make the most of the opportunities that are likely to arrive over the next couple of weeks
