Here Is The Easy Money-Making Trick Everyone Is Talking About! Learn More Here!
Manchester United’s summer transfer strategy mirrors tactics that Jose Mourinho once criticized during his time at Old Trafford, according to reports. The Red Devils are pushing for a squad rebuild after a tough season capped by defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final, according to the source.
Ruben Amorim’s squad overhaul has already begun with the signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves, and ongoing talks to acquire Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford. Despite significant cost-cutting measures off the pitch, Manchester United continues to pursue key additions, including Sporting CP’s Victor Gyokeres and Aston Villa’s Emi Martinez. The club aims to recover from previous transfer market errors by possibly moving on from players like Jadon Sancho, Antony, Rasmus Hojlund, Joshua Zirkzee, and Andre Onana.
This method resembles Manchester City’s transfer approach under Pep Guardiola, though Manchester United’s early attempts have been less consistent. Mourinho previously criticized City’s spending spree in 2017 when they invested over £200 million on defenders alone. He remarked, “Can we buy six or seven players at the same time? Can we invest £600-700m? No. So, it’s difficult.” His comments highlighted the financial limits faced by most clubs, unlike City’s spending freedom.
With financial restrictions now firmly in place, clubs including United must balance costly signings with sales. This summer, Manchester United is expected to follow this pattern closely. However, it remains uncertain if Mourinho would support the current strategy of continually swapping expensive players for others in the hope of quick fixes.
