Yikes!
Ten Hag has put Jude Bellingham, Kalvin Phillips and Declan Rice on his wanted list, but he looks set to miss out on all three. Borussia Dortmund have told United to forget about luring England ace Bellingham to Old Trafford because the German club are not prepared to sell him following the departure of Erling Haaland to Manchester City this summer. Leeds star Phillips, meanwhile, has no intention of joining his bitter rivals United due to the hatred that exists between the two clubs.
And to make matters worse, Rice has hinted he will remain at West Ham next season and has no interest in going to United while the club is not in the Champions League. Ten Hag is also an admirer of Lazio's defensive midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, but the Italian club have told United he is not for sale. It means Ten Hag is back to square one in his attempts to line up fresh midfield talent as he begins to discover the cost of United's failure to secure Champions League qualification.
