Premier League clubs spent around £370m in the winter transfer window with Manchester City spending almost as much as the other 19 top-flight teams combined.
Premier League clubs spent around £370m in the winter transfer window, significantly up on the £100m paid out last year, with Manchester City spending almost as much as the other 19 top-flight teams combined.
They also signed Argentina Under-17 midfielder Claudio Echeverri for £12.5m but immediately loaned him back to River Plate. On the charges looming over them, Maguire added: "The 115 charges relates to the period 2009-2018, so that, to a certain extent, is ancient history. Both Aston Villa and Tottenham emerged as suitors but Spurs quickly went cold on signing the France international after feeling he didn't want to join.
United did explore the loan market and there were discussions around Tel. But, according to United sources, the structure of the deal being offered did not make sense. They effectively felt they were taking a chance on a young player knowing if he did well, Bayern Munich would benefit from his increased value.
That is essentially why Premier League clubs sell 'home-grown' players. For Manchester United, that would have meant academy graduates Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo - despite the fact Garnacho was signed from Atletico Madrid. The problem is Amorim wanted to keep the pair. The problem is the players they have don't appear capable of lifting them significantly from their present 13th position. Amorim is the one who has to wrestle with that.Of the Premier League signings that were made in the winter window involving a fee, the average age of the signed players was just 20.5.
