Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has defended the club's transfer dealings with his agent, Kees Vos.
The £72million transfer of Rasmus Hojlund and £8.6m loan fee for Sofyan Amrabat coincided with the players switching their representation to Vos' agency, SEG International.
Although SEG stated they had brought Amrabat to United, intermediaries from another agency are understood to have worked on an agreement with the Moroccan's parent club Fiorentina and SEG merely negotiated Amrabat's personal terms.

Former United midfielder Zidane Iqbal switched to SEG from Base Soccer in May and the following month he left for FC Utrecht in a deal rising to €1m.
Vos was previously involved in Robin van Persie and Daley Blind's moves to United in 2012 and 2014 but United went nine years without recruiting one of his clients until Hojlund arrived in July. Cody Gakpo, also represented by Vos, was offered to United last year before he moved to Liverpool in December.
When it was suggested there was a possible conflict of interest with Vos, Ten Hag replied: "It can't be, because we make very good agreements about it from the start; how we cooperate in that manner.
"For player decisions, transfers, it's always 50-50. We both have a veto: the club, represented by John Murtough, and me. So there can never be a distraction."
Vos was granted access to one of Ten Hag's press conferences at Carrington last season and then observed United's training session afterwards.
