Erik ten Hag has stated Manchester United’s transfer budget increased after the defeats by Brighton and Brentford, though he saidthis was down to market forces increasing player prices

With Lisandro Martínez and Tyrell Malacia bought earlier in the transfer window, United’s outlay will climb over £200m with add‑ons factored in. This is close to £60m more than the budget Ten Hag was expected to get.

Ten Hag said: “They made adaptations [increased the money] because of how the market [was] and I think the club did that well. It’s difficult to answer that question [on Antony]. It’s hypothetical. You never know how things go, if you are earlier or later. It’s a process. First, we really quickly identified the positions we wanted and then identified the players we wanted. The process is if you get them or not.
