Ralf Rangnick thinks Man United need as many as ten signings and Erik ten Hag may have a £20m budget. Emmanuel Dennis to Old Trafford, please
After the “humiliating” defeat to Liverpool on Tuesday night, Ralf Rangnick asserted Man United may need as many as ten shiny new players in a summer overhaul.
