Manchester United fans were taken aback by a recent report detailing the club’s available funds for summer player acquisitions.
Despite finishing in eighth place in the Premier League this season, Erik ten Hag’s team managed to secure two consecutive victories to conclude the campaign. However, this position meant missing out on European qualification, although winning the FA Cup final against Manchester City could secure Europa League football for the upcoming season.
Throughout the season, United faced persistent injury woes, including the absence of a natural left-back for the entire latter half and the inability to field any of the five senior center-backs during the 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace.
Furthermore, the club’s recent tendency to structure transfer payments over several years might mitigate the impact of the reported cash constraints.
Already, the departures of Raphael Varane and Anthony Martial, along with the potential sale of Jadon Sancho after his loan spell at Borussia Dortmund, could alleviate financial pressures. Speculation also surrounds the futures of players like Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Marcus Rashford, who could attract interest from other clubs.
