Manchester United in this transfer window once again showed the characteristics of drag, whether it was the transfer of the club or the signing, and the good news of driving Glazer was not yet coming, but the Premier League giants were the first to receive a fine, which required to pay a fine of 300,000 euros, which is based on the results of UEFA's assessment.
It turned out that in the latest review of the 2019-2022 FFP, Manchester United violated the rules, and the club had a break-even deficit, which Manchester United also felt helpless. You know, according to Manchester United's announcement, the reason for the deficit is because UEFA's calculation of the club's epidemic loss has changed, obviously they tend to think that they are not guilty, but since the punishment has become a fact, they do not want to argue too much, but show that they firmly uphold UEFA's policy guidelines.
Interestingly, Chelsea's name is not seen in the penalty list, and it is normal for the Blues to spend money like a stream. According to the CIES Football Observatory, from 2018 to 2023, Chelsea is the team with the largest net transfer expenditure, with a size of 749 million euros, which is 79 million euros more than second-placed Manchester United.
But now that Manchester United have been punished and Chelsea have escaped, it can be seen that there is a gap in revenue between the two sides, and it is the failure of the Red Devils to learn the Blues' routine that has become a thorn in UEFA's side. It is worth saying that Manchester United is also the only team in the Premier League to be punished by UEFA, which is the worst, and seeing this situation, people have to sigh at Manchester City's stability.
You know, Manchester City once received a European ban notice issued by UEFA for violating the Financial Fairness Act, and the club was accused of financial fraud last season. However, after UEFA's re-examination, Manchester City sat back and relaxed, which obviously shows that the operation of the club has indeed achieved a qualitative leap, and has also shattered the smear of those who have intentions to a certain extent.
Then again, although Manchester United was punished by UEFA, it was undoubtedly a bad thing on the surface, but the result was that Seon lost his horse! According to reporter Simon Stone, the result of the review of the Financial Fairness Act will not become a restriction on Manchester United's recruitment, that is, in the context of the new FFP, the Premier League giants' recruitment budget this summer will not be affected, which means that the team can invest a lot.
At present, Manchester United has confirmed 2 signings, one of which is close to the official announcement Onana, he will be the undisputed number one goalkeeper candidate, the player is good at ball and other aspects, can also really help Manchester United! Second, also in the goalkeeper position, Manchester United threw an olive branch to 20-year-old goalkeeper Saiyan Suzuki, who is currently playing for Urawa Red Diamonds, which Romano reported and said that the two sides have negotiated! It also means that Dean Henderson and Heaton are basically sure to leave!
In fact, instead of believing that Glazer who is interested in the club will invest, Ten Hag believes that Manchester United can sell a series of unsatisfactory players to get more signings, and at present, including Ilanga and Fred have signs of leaving, with an estimated income of more than £30 million, which is also a contribution to the investment in the striker!
