Ralf Rangnick has reportedly been told money will be available in January as the Glazers continue to back Man Utd in the transfer market
Man Utd manager Ralf Rangnick has reportedly been told he will have funds made available by the Glazers in the January transfer window with the club dealing with a dressing room crisis.
Manchester United are facing a dressing room crisis – but the January transfer window means changes could be afoot.
The Mirror understands that up to 11 players are keen to leave United having grown disillusioned with life at the club.
A continuation of the problems that existed under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has left new interim manager Ralf Rangnick facing a fractured group after Monday’s defeat to Wolves.
A source said: “It’s not good. The atmosphere is really bad and it looks like there are going to be big problems ahead for United.”
Despite the difficulties being faced, owners the Glazers are believed to have made their stance clear to Rangnick – by telling him he will have funds available.
Whilst all eyes are on potential outgoings at Old Trafford in January, The Times report that Rangnick has been told by the club that if he wishes to make signings, he will be backed.
With Rangnick’s deal with United including an additional two years in a consultancy role, his first transfer window could give an intriguing insight into his long-term plans.
RB Leipzig midfielder Amadou Haidara could be the first in the door in a £33million swoop with Rangnick already entering talks with his representatives last month.
A move for the Mali international, who has a buyout clause that could be activated in the summer, would signal United’s intent to back Rangnick.
Various other players have been linked with a move to Old Trafford, whilst funds could be bolstered by high-profile exits.
Rangnick is understood to be happy to let Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard leave the club if acceptable offers are received, although he is keen to keep Donny van de Beek and Dean Henderson at the club.
Young defender Axel Tuanzebe, meanwhile, is closing on in a loan move to Napoli which will net the Red Devils a further transfer windfall.
According to the Daily Mail, the Serie A club have agreed to pay United a £500,000 loan fee, as well as a further £333,000 if they reach the Champions League.
