Summary

Daily #814 | United face a tricky process evolving Ruben Amorim's squad to fit the new manager's needs. The club needs to restructure the wage budget and target players who are willing to come to a non Champions League club (without the Champions League wages)... while trying to get decent fees for players who are wanted.

0:20.1

How are you doing, Adam?

0:22.4

I'm good. I'm hoping,

0:26.4

you know, by the end of the weekend this episode isn't terribly dated, but I just don't think we have that much flexibility to move. But yeah, it's an exciting time, but we've also got a

0:31.9

temporary expectation. Yeah, weird moment. Yeah, a little bit.

0:46.4

I mean, of course, everyone wants that big Sir Jim to pull out his large wallet and splurge it into the transfer market.

0:47.5

It's not going to happen.

0:55.0

He couldn't do that even if he wanted to with the PSR requirements and we've hit that cap every single year.

0:58.8

This might be the first year that is not entirely based on loans.

1:00.8

I don't think we'll get that.

1:01.7

24 hours and a little bit before that by the time this comes out. But I think we can probably guesstimate like some of the likely moves.

1:31.2

And we'll think about a little further evolution down the line,

1:34.3

what it's likely to happen and what Amarin might want and need.

1:40.9

So like overall, what's the state of play do you reckon? Well, I mean, just in terms of
