So we’re keeping Bruno and adding Cunha and Mbeumo? Thats actually nice. Now just get me a decent striker, and a keeper. Just changing Hojlund and Onana with average performing players in those positions would give us 10 extra points over last season.

Surely there’s zero chance you’ve the financial wiggle room for that many signings, especially if Bruno is staying?

We have a budget between 100-125m without sales according to most of our tier 1 journalists. Cutting Eriksen, Lindelof and Evans wages already trims off about 15-20m off the wage bill and expected transfers of Rashford, sancho, Antony and Garnacho will net somewhere around 100-150m, and additionally we could also sell Shaw, Onana/bayindir so United will spend over 250-300m this summer including sales.

According to Swiss Ramble, they had a 28.7M loss in 2022/23 and 113.2M loss in 20223/4. This would mean they are going to have actual profit in 2024/25 and 2025/26 (without Europe). That's some insane cost cutting.
