    Distraught Man Utd fans says ‘well, nice knowing you lads’ after underwhelming summer transfer budget is revealed

    According to The Athletic, Erik ten Hag will be given just £100million to spend.
    And considering that is the asking price of one of their main targets, Declan Rice, some fans are concerned.
    Ten Hag is also believed to have made Harry Kane his number one summer target, and Tottenham will likely demand in excess of £100m for the striker.
    So fans are worried the prospect of a limited budget could affect the quality of United’s signings – the club spent £85m on Antony alone last summer.

    “The only thing I know is that Man United is one of the biggest clubs in the world from a fanbase perspective.
    “This club has to compete for the highest in the world, so Champions League, Premier League. But in football you need funds to construct squads because in the end of the day the level from your players makes if you are successful or not.” More

    The Red Devils will face French side Lyon in a pre-season friendly on July 19th at Murrayfield.
    Former Manchester United star Wes Brown and current Scotland rugby star Hamish Watson have been speaking to publicise the event.
    Scotland are represented in the current Old Trafford first team by Scott McTominay.
    And United have a massive Scottish connection through legendary figures like Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson.

    Current United technical director Darren Fletcher was born and raised in Dalkeith near Edinburgh.
    They’ll take on a Lyon side who are coming off a difficult season in Ligue 1 but are still packed with stars.
    They are captained by former Arsenal star Alexander Lacazette, with French World Cup winner Corentin Tolisso and veteran German star Jerome Boateng just two other stars in their squad.
    Ex Celtic star Moussa Dembele is poised to leave the club this summer as a free agent.
    Most read in English Premier League
    The match occurs while Celtic are on their summer tour of Japan and South Korea – with the Scottish Premiership set to kick off on the weekend of August 5/6.
    The news came with United fans preparing for the “end of an era” with five popular stars set to be released.
    A number of United players are out of contract at the end of next month, with decision-makers opting not to renew them.
    One such player is long-serving United star Phil Jones, who has won two league titles.
    The 31-year-old’s time at Old Trafford is finally set to come to an end following an injury-plagued 12-year stay.
    Jones, once likened to United legend Duncan Edwards by Sir Alex Ferguson, went from one of the stars of the future to a mainstay in the medical room.
    The former Blackburn defender, now 31, has not featured under Erik ten Hag this season.
    Indeed, his persistent injuries in the last few years have seen him play feature in just six games in the Premier League since the start of the 2019/20 season after being handed a new contract in February 2019.

    TeamViewer’s name will remain on Man Utd’s shirt until a new sponsor is found, with the new kit’s release date delayed amid ongoing takeover uncertainty.
    According to FootyHeadlines, the new shirt will be released at independent retailers on Wednesday 12th July.
    A version of the apparent 2023-24 home kit has appeared online.
    The red shirt features a V-neck and a black trim, as well as a ‘red rose’ design

    The image online has sparked a mixed reaction from Red Devils supporters as fans begged for the kit to remain sponsorless.
    One supporter said: “They need to keep it sponsorless. Record sales are possible here.”
    Another added: “Have it like that without a sponsor I beg.”
    Yet not all Man Utd fans were happy with the leak, as one fan asked: “What the f*** is this monstrosity?”

    Another fumed: “That is so s***.”
    Adidas will continue to make Man Utd’s kit as part of their ten-year, £750m deal with Erik ten Hag’s side.
    United returned to a collared design with this season’s shirt in a nod to the likes of club legends Eric Cantona and Dwight Yorke — who both famously played with their collars turned up.
    The new leak scraps the collar but sticks with a white Adidas logo, something a number of fans have objected to.
    One wrote: “Unpopular opinion: the three stripes should have been white instead of black.”
    Another added: “Need to bring back three stripes that extend all the way to the sleeves.”
    Adidas will reportedly ditch the collared shirt after this season.Credit: Getty More
