It's too late to start as Chelsea has demonstrated in recruiting players. Man utd is currently in financial trouble unless they replace them with a new owner who brings significant capital. Previously the owner of Manchester United had also laid off several employees related to the club in an attempt to minimize the club finances. For now the hope lies in Amorim, with all the financial constraints given, maximizing the existing players to perform optimally and, if possible, finish in the top four so that the club gets a decent income and slowly rebuilds the team.
If you look at how many transfers Ten Hag made, you could say that at that time the club either had no financial difficulties or they were ready to spend a lot of money. But after the team’s results started to decline and Ten Hag was replaced by Amorim, there were hardly any transfers. Just a few signings this summer, and that’s all. Yes, there were also staff layoffs afterwards. Maybe it’s not about financial problems, but simply the club optimizing its expenses.
