      Clearance for the transfer from Fifa and paperwork needing to be signed delayed the move of the highly-rated Welsh teenager.

      He scored after cutting inside and firing in through the Leeds goalkeeper’s legs.

      Asked if there was a lack of discipline at United, Ten Hag replied: “There was — and I don’t have to lie about it.
      “Top players like structure, not only on the pitch, so you need some rules.
      “In every organisation when there are no rules and discipline in taking the rules seriously, you create a mess.
      “It was quite obvious because I could see on the pitch what was going on.”

      Ten Hag was only three games into his reign last summer when he axed Ronaldo for the visit of Sunday’s opponents Liverpool.
      It was a sign of what was to come for a player many felt was having a poor influence — and he was axed after slating the club in a TV interview.
      The Dutchman admitted: “I had reasons and I also knew the consequence if it was a negative outcome.
      “But I am not worrying and I sleep well in those nights.

      “If I’m a player, say Jude Bellingham or Declan Rice – two of the most in-demand English midfielders that may get moves this summer – and someone says, ‘Manchester United or Liverpool, where are you going?’, forget my Manchester United ties, I have to go with United right now.
      “The way the team looks, the way the squad is shaping up, the way the managers are navigating their teams’ fortunes and who I see being more successful in the upcoming future – I really would be sitting on the side of United.”
      Liverpool won the FA Cup and Carabao Cup last season – but lost in the final of the Champions League to Real Madrid.

      Winning the Europa Conference league, however, could make them an attractive club, as they would gain qualification for the Europa League.
      And according to Football Insider, West Ham and Moyes are keen on three Man Utd stars to bolster their ranks.
      Red Devils Carabao Cup-winning captain Maguire, midfielder Scott McTominay and Anthony Martial are all transfer targets for the Hammers.
      All three have fallen out of favour at Old Trafford following Erik ten Hag’s arrival.

      Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane are preferred in the heart of the defence to Maguire.
      Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Marcel Sabitzer, Bruno Fernandes and Fred are all competitive in the midfield, which come the summer could leave little room for McTominay.
      And once highly rated Martial has struggled with injuries again this term despite a promising pre-season.
      Marcus Rashford has rediscovered his form and Wout Weghorst is Ten Hag’s go-to up front, with Antony and Jadon Sancho fighting for a spot on the right-hand side.

      Whether Moyes remains in his post after this season is also yet to be seen.

      And SunSport understands that New York-based Raine Group is now planning to sit down with both parties, probably within the coming fortnight, to flesh out fuller details of a potential deal.
      The Glazers want £6bn to sell with the two bidders currently valuing the club at around £4.5bn.
      There are also signs of a split in the Glazer family over their next step, with co-chairmen Avram and Joel Glazer keenest to retain their stakes and stay at the club.
      Meetings with the two bid teams are likely to be held in the UK, either in London or in Manchester.

      That is expected to come ahead of the consortia being given access to the United books for the due diligence process.

      A number of hedge funds, including US-based Elliott Management – formerly owners of AC Milan – and Oaktree, helped finance the Chinese Suning corporation’s purchase of Inter, are also keen to underpin any United bid.
