'It can't be' - Erik ten Hag denies that his agent has too much influence over Man Utd transfers

Ten Hag's representative, Kees Vos, is the head of the agency that has summer signing Rasmus Hojlund as a client, while he was also involved in the deal to bring Sofyan Amrabat to United on loan from Fiorentina.

However, Ten Hag insists that he and the higher ups at Old Trafford have a veto over any transfer decisions as he refuted the claim that his agent has too much power.

“It can’t be [too much] because we make very good agreements about it from the start – how we cooperate in that manner,” he told reporters. “For player decisions, transfers, it’s always 50-50; we both have a veto: the club, represented by John Murtough [football director], and me. So there can never be a distraction.”

United return to Premier League action on Saturday when they take on Burnley.
