Manchester United's recruitment 'is being guided by a 'no d***heads' policy' designed to avoid the dressing room friction that undermined Erik ten Hag's predecessors.
Club chief executive Richard Arnold issued the edict to manager Ten Hag and football director John Murtough as they pursued transfer targets last summer.
Arnold was sick and tired of seeing progress on the field undermined by troublemakers who caused problems for bosses like Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick.

According to the Daily Telegraph, Arnold was also central in convincing United's American owners, the Glazer family, to spend around £75million more than the original budget for last summer.
However, it was also Arnold who reminded Ten Hag that overspend meant there wouldn't be anything in the coffers for the January transfer window.
