Erik ten Hag says "top players want to come" to Manchester United this summer and insists a successful transfer window is not dependent on the club qualifying for the Champions League.
United are in danger of missing out on a place in the top four after back-to-back defeats to Brighton and West Ham.
But Ten Hag believes he can still attract players to Old Trafford even if he cannot offer Champions League football for at least a year.
Ten Hag said as cited by Sports Central: "I see a big difference in comparison with last year. "There were a lot of reservations last year when I spoke with players and now many players see the project, what's going on, the dynamic and the ambition in this project, the quality especially.
He added: "They are really keen to come, I've noticed that. It looks like there were a lot of reservations last year, a lot of doubts when we approached players. This year, many quality players really want to come.
