Richard Arnold suggests money is no object in Manchester United's pursuit of summer transfer targets - including £69m Frenkie de Jong - as he aims a dig at predecessor Ed Woodward's role in their unsuccessful recent transfer business

Richard Arnold has said 'money is not a consideration' in Manchester United's pursuit of Frenkie de Jong as he took aim at Ed Woodward's handling of transfers.

United have identified the Holland midfielder as their No 1 target for the summer as new manager Erik ten Hag rebuilds the club and negotiations with Barcelona are in progress.

And in a sensational exchange with a group of United supporters in a Cheshire pub, the chief executive suggested Ten Hag will be handed a substantial budget to kick-start his project at Old Trafford.
