Manchester United Faces Financial Struggles and Transfer Challenges
Manager Ruben Amorim navigates a constrained transfer window as the club grapples with unsellable players and financial losses.
- Manchester United posted a £113m loss last year despite generating £661m in income, limiting their flexibility in the January transfer market due to financial regulations.
- Manager Ruben Amorim has expressed a desire to retain Kobbie Mainoo, a promising 19-year-old midfielder, but acknowledges the financial benefits of selling him due to his homegrown status.
- The club's squad features numerous high-salary players with depreciating value, making it difficult to offload them without incurring further losses.
- Marcus Rashford has attracted interest from AC Milan, Arsenal, and West Ham, though his high wages remain a significant obstacle to any potential deal.
- United's recruitment strategy under previous management is under scrutiny, with many players deemed ill-suited for Amorim's tactical approach and the pressures of playing for the club.
