‘Man United set for £100million transfer boost on one condition’
Manchester United are set for a busy transfer window this summer, and they could be receiving a huge financial boost.
The Red Devils have had a dismal domestic campaign, and sit 16th in the table with just 39 points to their name.
With only one game remaining this season, United can’t climb above 14th place, meaning they are guaranteed their worst-ever Premier League finish.
However, Ruben Amorim’s side are still in the hunt for the Europa League, and beating Tottenham in the final would massively improve morale around Old Trafford.
European success brings financial gain for Man United
Man United are set to confirm the signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves in the coming weeks, in what will be the first incoming of a potentially busy summer.
However, the Red Devils are desperate for some extra finances to ensure they have financial stability going into the transfer window, with so many expensive players on their shortlist.
BBC Sport (21 May) Senior football correspondent Sami Mokbel has reported that United must win the Europa League to ensure that they can pull off the deals they want to.
The winner of the final will qualify for the Champions League, which brings in an estimated £100million for the club.
Finances are a big issue at Old Trafford currently, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe executing mass redundancies at Man United, as part of cost-cutting measures.
Man United must get summer window right
Every final is vitally important, but when Man United take on Spurs in Bilbao, it will have even more significance than usual.
If United win the Europa League and qualify for the Champions League, they will have the funds to dramatically improve their squad.
However, the Red Devils have made major mistakes in the transfer market recently, not least with the purchases of Antony, Jadon Sancho, and Rasmus Hojlund, all of whom failed dismally.
Sancho and Antony have both already departed on loan, with Man United set to get rid of Hojlund in the summer, with the striker being labelled as “lazy” by senior figures at the club.

These poor signings keep happening time and time again, and the problems at Old Trafford will never be corrected until they start getting their recruitment strategy right.
Amorim must be given a competent squad to work with next season, to determine if the Portuguese manager is the right man for the job.
