Even though FFP will squeeze the budget again, United are expected to be in the market for a striker, central midfielder and at least one if not two centre-backs and full-backs.

While Ineos continue to plan for the future with Ten Hag in charge, the situation remains fluid and is likely to hinge on how United finish this season.

Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final against Championship side Coventry City will be crucial in determining whether the Dutchman’s second campaign ends with a return to Wembley or continues to fizzle out.

Ten Hag sticks to Wembley way

Stick to the plan is one of Ten Hag’s favourite phrases, and the United boss will follow his own advice when it comes to preparing for Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final against Coventry City.

United managers have taken different approaches to big games at Wembley in the past. Jose Mourinho, for instance, had his players training for two days at Fulham’s Motspur Park complex before the FA Cup semi against Tottenham in 2018 because United had played at Bournemouth in midweek.

But Ten Hag will follow a similar plan to last season when he conducted his pre-match press conference at Carrington before United travelled down to London, staying in the same hotel and training on university pitches before the FA Cup semi-final and final against Brighton and Manchester City.
