MANCHESTER UNITED boss Erik ten Hag has reportedly been left “infuriated” by his side’s lack of transfer activity.
The Glazers are reportedly refusing to sanction any spending until their takeover saga is complete.
The Americans have been fielding bids for majority and minority stakes in Old Trafford since November, with their valuation standing at a mammoth £6billion.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe, one of two main frontrunners, is looking to seek majority control by a slim margin.
While on the other side, Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani wants 100 per cent control as he plots a stunning investment.
But despite the club being on sale for seven months, with the Glazers previously targeting a March deadline, United’s ownership saga remains in limbo.

As a result, they are yet to sign any players this summer despite making a fresh bid for Chelsea’s Mason Mount yesterday.
And The Mirror claims boss Ten Hag has been left “infuriated” by the situation.
He believes United need at least three new signings – a goalie, a striker and a midfielder – to compete for next season’s title.
But the Glazers are unwilling to release transfer funds until they have concluded their sale of the club.

And Ten Hag fears missing out on all of his top targets while rivals strengthen in key areas.
The Red Devils have already lost Napoli’s Kim Min-Jae to Bayern Munich, while Arsenal look set to win the race for Ajax’s Jurrien Timber.
The Gunners are also closing in on West Ham’s Declan Rice, with Chelsea hoping to land Brighton’s Moises Caicedo.
Meanwhile, Ten Hag’s unhappiness has raised fears among fans that he could resign.
One tweeted: “I won’t be surprised if Erik Ten Hag walk. I wouldn’t begrudge him this. He deserves better.”
Another wrote: “Could genuinely see Ten Hag walking from this s***show of a situation, the delay with this takeover is DISGUSTING.”
As another commented: “This is getting out of hand. We already have some budget. Why don’t they use it to book the top targets?”
