The new Manchester United manager may have less money to work with than his predecessors
The Ruben Amorim era got underway at Manchester United at the weekend with a rather uninspiring 1-1 draw at struggling Ipswich Town, highlighting some of the problems the Portuguese will need to tackle moving forward.
That deal handed the British billionaire oversight over football matters, as well as leading the plan for what happens with Old Trafford’s future and the plans for a new stadium. Ratcliffe’s approach shouldn’t be surprising. Figures produced last week by the Swiss-based CIES Football Observatory highlighted just how profligate the club had been when compared to their rivals when it came to spending heavily, especially in the context of a lack of Premier League titles to show for it.
That figure was enough to see them as the highest net spenders, with Chelsea , Paris Saint-Germain , Arsenal , and Tottenham Hotspur rounding out the top five. Manchester City were sixth with £587.2m, while Liverpool were the best performers of the so-called ‘big six’ with £305.7m.
