ERIK TEN HAG is reportedly willing to listen to offers for THIRTEEN players as part of a huge £260m Manchester United clearout.
The 53-year-old enjoyed a rollercoaster first season in charge at Old Trafford as he secured the Carabao Cup and a return to the Champions League.
But Ten Hag’s side also suffered a humiliating 7-0 defeat at rivals Liverpool and finished 14 points adrift of title winners Man City.
He is desperate to bolster his squad this summer in a number of positions in order to try and close that gap ahead of their tricky start to the 2023/24 campaign.
He has made Tottenham striker Harry Kane one of his top targets while he is also looking to make a move for Atalanta's Rasmus Hojlund to strengthen his attack.
Midfield is another area he wants to strengthen, but what appeared to be a done deal to bring in Mason Mount from Chelsea now appears to have stalled with United having had a third bid by rejected by the Blues..

But he has been left frustrated by United's lack of transfer activity, which has arisen in part due to the uncertainty surrounding the club's ownership.
The takeover process is still ongoing despite claims last week the Qatari group was set to complete a deal, and the Glazers have been unwilling to spend money on players given they are about to relinquish control of the club.
We then revealed how he only had a £100m transfer budget due to FFP restrictions - meaning he must offload several players to boost the funds.
Sun Sport has named some of the stars that he is willing to offload - now the say United “will listen to offers for up to 13 players this summer” and named the price tags that they are looking for.
They say that the likes of Jadon Sancho, Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Anthony Martial are all available for transfer.
They claim that none of the above for “are being forced out” and “United are happy to let them stay and fight for their places” but they are willing to listen to offers for each of them.
This report states they have placed a £45m price tag on Sancho, £40m on Maguire and want around £25m for Martial.
McTominay is a target for Newcastle and Ten Hag’s team want somewhere in the region of £40m for him.
Meanwhile, Dean Henderson is another who United are ready to sell after his loan spell at Nottingham Forest last term and has reportedly been lined up for a £15m permanent move plus add-ons to the City Ground.
The Mail then states that the remaining eighth players “are up for sale with United actively looking to find them new clubs” - but some could depart on loan or even as free transfers.
Fred, who is wanted by Fulham, and Donny van de Beek are valued at £20m along with forward Anthony Elanga, who has a number of Bundesliga sides after him.
