John Murtough strongly hints at No January transfers for Man United
Man United’s director of football John Murtough has given hints that fans should not expect major transfers in January.
He said at a recent fans’ forum: “Ultimately, we made a record level of investment for a single window, reflecting the conditions in the market, but also our commitment to supporting the manager.
“We always said that reshaping the squad would take more than a window and we’re already working with Erik on the next steps in that process, with a focus on next summer and beyond.
“But it’s important to recognise that investment must always be sustainable, meaning that what we spend on players must be supported by revenues over the long-term.
“We ended the summer slightly ahead of where we expected to be in terms of the number of players brought in, so we don’t anticipate the same level of activity in future windows, although we will continue to strengthen.”
The Red Devils spent over £200m on new players for Erik ten Hag in the summer, the most that any manager has received in a single window in the history of the club.
But with Cristiano Ronaldo’s situation growing weary, United probably need a new centre-forward that can help boost their charge for trophies in the second half of the season.
