What a realistic summer transfer window could look like for Manchester United
Man Utd might not be able to do as much business as they would like to do this summer.
It is shaping up to be a busy summer at Manchester United, but they might hope it is even busier. Ruben Amorim has a long list of improvements he would like to make to the playing squad, though there is only so much they can do when the finances are so tight.
United are embarking on a post-season tour to help raise revenue, while their confirmed pre-season opponents are further evidence of how far behind they are the leading elite. The financial situation would be significantly improved if United win the Europa League and qualify for the Champions League, though that is easier said than done for a side 13th in the Premier League.
Once again, player sales will be essential to raise money and ease any concerns about breaching financial fair play rules. However, it is another issue that is much harder to do in practice. With all that in mind, here is a look at a realistic summer transfer window for United given all of their current issues.
