Why Didn't Man Utd Spend More in the Transfer Window? w/ Jamie Bajwa

from The Promised Land | A Manchester United Podcast · host Scott Saunders

Manchester United improved their squad significantly over the summer — but after all the talk of further additions, why didn't the club spend more before the transfer window closed? Jamie Bajwa joins TPL to look at the financial and strategic reasons behind United's summer spending, the budget available to the club and why there was ultimately a limit to how far the rebuild could go in one window. There's also a look at the decisions United made over where to allocate their money, the importance of player sales, cash considerations, and whether holding money back rather than forcing another deal could prove to be the right long-term decision. After strengthening key areas but leaving some obvious gaps in the squad, was this simply the reality of United's financial position — or should the club have found a way to do more?
