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.

WHAT THEY SAID

“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.”
