Erik ten Hag is reportedly eyeing more winter recruits at Manchester United despite overspending in the summer transfer window.

The Red Devils were one of the most active clubs in the market during the opening months of the Dutchman's tenure, sanctioning the permanent arrivals of Christian Eriksen, Casemiro, Antony, Tyrell Malacia and Lisandro Martinez for a total upwards of £200million.And while Ten Hag, 52, was always going to spearhead a summer revolution, following his appointment on April 21, the Glazer family had set aside £100m for the former Ajax manager to spend in the window - not including profits made from player sales.READ MORE: Eight Man Utd flops who left Old Trafford and enjoyed great careers elsewhereHowever, sitting in the relegation zone after a 4-0 drubbing at Brentford, the Old Trafford hierarchy decided that immediate action was needed, equipping Ten Hag with another multi-million-pound war chest.
