Manchester United's tight finances limited summer transfer spending compared to rivals.
Manchester United paid less for players during the summer transfer window than Ipswich Town and about the same amount as Hull City. Could they have been more ambitious in a bid to build on last season's third-place finish? Michael Carrick's squad needed work but United’s financial picture is precarious. The fourth-quarter financial results, wrapping up the 2025-26 season, gave a stark picture of why decision-makers chose to show restraint. 📝 @lauriewhitwell 🔗
