Erik ten Hag thinks that Concerns About FFP Stood Manchester United back from a title run this season.

Ten Hag says that United’s need to balance the books put limits on Ten Hag’s ability to build on last year’s third-place finish.The Dutchman wаnted the Reds to spend a lot of money on England star Harry Kane, worth £100 million.‌

Instead, they paid £72 million for Rasmus Hojlund, who is 21 years old, and another £102 million for Mason Mount and Andre Onana, a goalkeeper.Ten Hag also said, “I think we had a lot of momentum when we were in the summer.” We came in third place, won one final, and were now in another final. Then, because of FFP, we decided to bring in young players for the future.

“That’s the choice we made, but you know it will take longer to get back into the running for the top spots in the Premier League or the Champions League.”

A study released by UEFA last week proved that United had the most expensive team in football last season. ‌

A record-breаking £1.2 billiоn had been spent on players, and Ten Hag was given £400 million to spend on players during his first summer at Old Trafford.

But United is still paying off its growing debts, which have surpassed £1 billiоn during the 19-year rule of the Glazer family, who owned most of the club even though they sold a 25% stake to Sir Jim Ratcliffe for £1.3 billiоn.

United got a £257,000 fine last summer for not following UEFA’s Financial Fair Play Rules.‌

So, when Ten Hag asked the club to borrow a striker last month, the bosses said no because they were afraid they would break the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules.
