Erik ten Hag doesn't believe missing out on Champions League qualification will affect his chances of signing top players this summer.
"It will have an impact on the budget but I’m sure Manchester United is a very attractive team to play for," the boss told reporters, quoted by The Telegraph.
Several players are expected to depart Old Trafford in July - Anthony Martial is already confirmed to leave as a free agent.
That would leave gaps in an already feeble squad, seeing how injuries made life a living hell for Ten Hag in 2023/24.
Man United are set to finish outside the Champions League spots and are at risk of losing the Europa League spots as well.
Signing the right players will be of utmost importance as it could make or break Ten Hag's final season if he stays on.
Not having the Champions League as an attraction would mean the club need to nail negotiations with potential targets and convince them to join regardless. Only this time, they can't throw money at problems.
