When Erik ten Hag signed for Manchester United in 2022 and extended in the summer, this triggered a round of huge investments in new players. £600 million was spent on the Dutchman’s watch, Ruben Amorim will have a completely different framework, reports The Telegraph.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the INEOS team showed from day one that with one hand they are planning and implementing billion-dollar investments in training facilities and stadiums, with the other they are cutting costs at a rapid pace. When Amorim answered questions about whether Viktor Gyökeres will join Manchester United, the Portuguese replied “it will be challenging with the high price”.

The Telegraph reports Amorim will have a considerably smaller budget than Ten Hag, with the Portuguese’s task from the start being to exploit the squad’s untapped potential. In addition, the club will reduce the number of transfers in and out.
