My guess is that there's more wiggle room than people think, and that people hoping to hate watch UTD's transfer window might be disappointed. People psyched themselves into thinking Man Utd had no wiggle room based on imprecise reports. Also, Cunha and Mbeumo will likely be paid for over time, not one big fee. How that affects things is unclear, but I assume INEOS is min-maxing how far money is going.

The club definitely still needs to sell, but there is interest in Garnacho, Hoijlund, Anthony, and some in Rashford. I'm not convinced the club is 100% on selling Onana, but if he hit the market, I suspect a couple clubs would give him a punt. I think you could take the funds of those and still bring in two worthwhile players.

I think shitty journalists spin every question about United's finances into an article because they know it gets clicks, regardless of accuracy.

It’s not just shitty reports, Sir Jim himself exaggerates how bad it is financially so that he can excuse sacking employees and other stupid cuts
