Manchester United will take a disciplined approach in the transfer market this summer despite announcing a total revenue increase of 29 per cent in the club's third quarter financial results.
Although the figures once again reflect that business is returning to normal at Old Trafford post-pandemic, the net debt has risen £52million since last year after the club made use of its revolving credit facility to help cope with the effects of the global Covid crisis.
Sources say that United's £1billion investment in new signings over the past decade is a measure of the club's commitment to improving the team, but spending this summer will be disciplined to protect the financial model.
