Ruben Amorim must work on developing current squad as Man United “have no money to spend” | OneFootball

Manchester United coach Ruben will have to forge internal solutions as the club has reportedly run out of transfer funds.

The Red Devils spent big during Erik ten Hag’s reign at Carrington signing a host of reputable stars, but it is hardly portrayed by the results on the pitch. The Dutchman was eventually given his marching orders following a feeble start to the campaign that saw the club wandering in the bottom half of the Premier League table.

The hierarchy replaced the former Ajax man with Ruben Amorim who has been forced to work with a group gathered by his predecessor, with some players being inapt to his newly implemented 3-4-2-1 tactical system.

But while many fans and observers have been envisioning a major squad overhaul under the tutelage of the former Sporting CP manager, Sky Sports correspondent Melissa Reddy believes otherwise.

The journalist insists that Man United don’t have funds to spend on transfers at the moment, as the club found itself in a dire financial situation after registering substantial losses.

“Man Utd do not have money [to spend on transfers],” explains Reddy. “It’s wild reading the transfer news and gossip on a daily basis, and you see who they’re linked to and thinking, ‘where on earth are they going to get this money from for all these forwards?’

“They have made it quite clear – and it was communicated to Ruben Amorim – that the financial constraints are real. He has to extract the maximum from the talents at the club. That was part of the reasons they brought him in.”

Moreover, INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe are hellbent on adopting a sustainable business model, as the latter reiterated in his previous interviews.

“They have continuously said they won’t go on a spending spree like there was under Erik ten Hag and that they are going to operate in a much more sustainable approach.”

Therefore, Amorim will have to rely on his renowned development ability if he intends to find quick success at Old Trafford.

“He’s got a very good track record of individual development and developing the collective. We’ve seen teething issues with his structure so far, but over time they’re banking on him getting the right parts in place and really bringing it home,” concluded Reddy.
