Manchester United had a slow transfer deadline day as they chose not to invest in a striker in the January transfer window
Manchester United's previous mistakes in the transfer market ultimately forced Ineos ' hand to not invest in a striker on deadline day.
Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, Reach's chief business of football writer Dave Powell explained that past poor signings prevented United from dipping into the market.
"However, when taking into account allowable deductions, which include £35m of share sale costs, the total comes to £170m, resulting in a net PSR position of minus £103m. That puts United £2m under the PSR breach threshold for the period, and speaks to the confidence that the club had in stating that they would be compliant with the regulations. It seems unlikely that they will be hit with a breach, even if the margin is tight.
"Driving down the wage bill is something that he wants to implement, and in getting Aston Villa to commit to paying £227,500 per week of Marcus Rashford’s wages until the end of the season, as well as locking in a £40m permanent fee option for Villa should he impress, a sum higher than some expectations given the mammoth salary and poor form, they have made a £3m saving on payroll between now and May.
“Dorgu is the kind of deal that always seemed the likely play for United this window, with the focus on finding an exit route for some of their expensive squad, with the departures of Antony and Rashford achieving that to some degree, if only temporarily.
