Manchester United to Have Quiet January Transfer Window Due to FFP Rules
Club's Focus on Trimming Squad Amid Financial Constraints, Incoming Minority Shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe to Face Challenges
- Manchester United is expected to have a quiet January transfer window due to Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.
- The club's focus is on trimming the squad rather than adding to it, with players like Donny van de Beek and Jadon Sancho likely to leave.
- United's COO, Colette Roche, emphasized the need for disciplined spending and a balance between incomings and outgoings.
- United's financial constraints come after two summers of spending totalling £412 million, leaving little room for manoeuvre.
- The club's financial situation is a concern for incoming minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who is expected to purchase a 25% stake in the club.
