Erik ten Hag wanted to know the size of Manchester United's transfer budget during his interview with the club, according to a report.

Erik ten Hag reportedly wanted to know the size of Manchester United's transfer budget for this summer during his interview with the 20-time English champions earlier this week.

The Ajax head coach is believed to have met with the Red Devils on Monday to discuss the possibility of becoming their new manager ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.

According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, during the talks, Ten Hag wanted to know how much money the club would have to spend on new signings during this summer's transfer window.

Meanwhile, Romano claims that the Dutchman was also keen to learn about Man United's 'plans for the future', with the club desperately attempting to return to the top of English football once again.

Ten Hag is allegedly keen to move to the Premier League at this stage of his career, but the Red Devils will meet with other managers before making a final decision.

The 52-year-old has won two league titles and two KNVB Cups since arriving at Ajax in 2017, while his side are currently two points clear of second-placed PSV Eindhoven at the top of the Eredivisie table.

Having been knocked out of the Champions League, Man United will have to finish fourth or higher in the Premier League this season to secure a spot in next season's European Cup.
