Manchester United’s summer transfer window is over, with most but not all of the squad weaknesses addressed.
When Manchester United finished in 15th place in the Premier League table, it was clear that a large overhaul was required.
Ineos have been busy throughout the transfer window attempting to offload Ruben Amorim’s unwanted players, and sign top quality additions for the team.
While there are still questions about the team’s midfield options, United have successfully strengthened in attack, in goal, and managed to sell or loan players surplus to requirements.
Senne Lammens was Manchester United’s final signing, announced on transfer deadline day after a deal was struck with Royal Antwerp.

United’s net spend in the 2024/25 transfer window was an overall £101.8 million
A total net spend of £125.4 million is broadly in line with expectations, and there are additional savings baked in too.
United will make substantial savings on Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho’s wages, while there are also potential purchase fees set up for next summer.
If Barcelona activate their £30 million clause for Marcus Rashford and Napoli buy Rasmus Hojlund for a proposed £38 million, United will begin next summer £68 million up.
United have also smartly stretched the payments out with Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo’s transfer, in line with previous summer’s policies, and to help the club better meet PSR requirements.
And who knows, could there be a late financial boost if one of Manchester United’s surplus goalkeepers head to Turkey over the next few days…
