# Manchester United: Erik ten Hag to have £200m budget as four targets emerge

**New Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag will have a £200m budget this summer and has already got to work to create a four-man transfer shortlist.**

### The Lowdown: Ten Hag announced

The Red Devils finally [announced](https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/erik-ten-hag-appointed-as-man-utd-manager-official-statement) the Dutchman as their new manager on Thursday morning.

Ten Hag was [confirmed](https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/erik-ten-hag-appointed-as-man-utd-manager-official-statement) as Ralf Rangnick’s replacement from the end of this season, signing a deal through to June 2025 with an option of a further year.

The 52-year-old previously [demanded](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-news/fabrizio-romano-reveals-ten-hag-demands-man-utd/) to be 100% involved when it comes to new signings, and he has wasted no time by already having four possible marquee additions in mind.

### The Latest: Four mega targets

[The Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-utd-van-de-beek-26758299) shared a story regarding Ten Hag and Manchester United shortly after the announcement, claiming the Red Devils will give their new manager £200m to spend ahead of his first season in charge.

Up to [12](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-utd-van-de-beek-26758299) players could leave the club, with Ten Hag placing Harry Kane, Declan Rice, Darwin Nunez and Ruben Neves at the top of his wishlist.

### The Verdict: Rebuild begins

Plenty of change is needed at Old Trafford ahead of the 2022/23 campaign, but getting Ten Hag confirmed prior to the summer window is a good first step.

He’ll have a huge job on his hands in what looks set to be an extremely busy summer off the pitch and it looks as if a new midfielder and forward is crucial as he gets to work already.

Paul Pogba and Edinson Cavani look set to be two players who will [leave](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/manutd-ten-hag-vande-beek-26758299) as free agents, so one of Kane or Nunez and Rice or Neves could be shrewd moves to replace the two outgoing big earners.
