Manchester United's manager Erik ten Hag has firmly dismissed ongoing media speculations that the club plans to sell a significant portion of its squad this summer. In various statements, Ten Hag labeled these rumors as 'a joke' and 'totally crap,' emphasizing the inaccuracy of reports suggesting that up to 200 players are linked with United each transfer window.

Additionally, Ten Hag confirmed failed attempts to sign Harry Kane, opting instead for Rasmus Hojlund, and expressed his long-term commitment to Manchester United, dispelling rumors of contact with Ajax for a possible future role. He highlighted the impact of Europa League participation on the budget and confirmed his long-term deal with the club.
