Erik Ten Hag could be handed as much as £100m to buy new players in the January transfer window at Manchester United.
The Dutchman became the club’s latest manager in the summer as they chased more glory and improvement as a team.
United has struggled over the last few seasons and they see Ten Hag as the man to get them back to their glory days.
They splashed huge sums of money to sign Antony and Casemiro in the last transfer window, among others, but more players are expected to join the club.
Matchplug understands United will spend around £70m on new players in the winter, but if Cristiano Ronaldo leaves, they will spend at least £100m.
He is the highest earner at Old Trafford and they will save significant sums of money from offloading him in the next transfer window.
