Various on here have been saying this for most of this year.
They have diddly room to spend, after spunking most of THIS year's money on LAST year's Casemiro and Antony.
It's finally dawned on some of the media that this is the reality of united now. They've blown most of the budget on Mount, can't offload anyone, so can't actually buy anyone new.
Their revolving credit line, has been taking a hammering, (and is eye-watering interest rates ... now) this year and last. By next year they'll have maxxed it out. They are so lucky (waves at PGMOL) to get the CL money next year.
God... the media are so useless, all this could have been written about 6 months (or more) ago, as it was obvious to anyone with even a modicum of talent, financial understanding, or lack of blinkered bias.
