Man United faces a "tough" transfer period

Man United are facing a challenging 2025 summer transfer window due to limited budget.

Man United Revenue Hits Record $867M, Layoffs Affect 250 Employees

With the inability to add players in the recent winter transfer window, coach Ruben Amorim has been forced to rely on player sales to fund the rebuilding of the squad. The tight financial situation is threatening Man United's competitiveness compared to strong opponents.

In the winter transfer window, Man United spent only £25.1 million on Patrick Dorgu and Ayden Heaven. Despite showing a commitment to rejuvenate the squad, these additions were not enough to improve the overall strength. One of Man United's biggest difficulties was not having enough money to replace players who left, such as Marcus Rashford (loaned to Aston Villa) and Antony (who joined Real Betis on a similar deal). Lisandro Martínez's long-term injury also prevented the team from recruiting a new central defender.

To solve the financial problem, Man United need to rely on revenue from player sales in the summer. In particular, the Marcus Rashford deal could bring in 40 million pounds if Aston Villa activates the buyout clause, while reducing 50 million pounds in wages over the remaining 3 years of the contract. Jadon Sancho, who is playing for Chelsea on loan, also has a buyout clause worth 25 million pounds. In addition, Alejandro Garnacho is considered the most valuable asset, which could earn 70 million pounds if Chelsea or Napoli decide to spend big, but coach Amorim wants to keep this young player.

However, Man United need a reasonable strategy to avoid losing important factors. The last transfer period showed that Man United failed to recruit a striker and a left-back, although Mathys Tel and Christopher Nkunku are potential targets. Therefore, in the coming time, the team will still prioritize adding strength to the attack. The tight financial situation is a big obstacle to coach Amorim's plan. Man United is trying to rebuild the squad like Arsenal did, reducing the wage bill and investing in young talent, but still lacks a clear plan and a solid squad. Amorim's future at the Red Devils is currently very uncertain.
