United Inc: The Finances Behind Ruben Amorim's First Year

#935 | Jamie and Ed unpack Manchester United’s latest financial and managerial storylines, starting with the team’s current form before diving into the numbers behind Rúben Amorim’s first year at Old Trafford.

The discussion moves through squad rebuild strategy, wage bill analysis, and the financial upside of European competition, before touching on Jason Wilcox’s revealing new interview about structure, strategy, and the next phase of transfer planning.
