UNITED WON’T BE HELD TO RANSOM ON FUTURE TRANSFER DEALINGS, SAYS CEO
Furthermore, United won’t be held to ransom on future transfer dealings to protect the club from bad transactions
Moreover, CEO Omar Berrada cited the need for United to be “disciplined” regarding paying fees for new players.
He noted the risks of the club falling to bad deals in the future, which could “set you back.”
“We were able to do it (the summer window) in a financially sustainable way,” Berrada said.
“We were quite disciplined about the valuations we were giving to the players who were going to come in,” he added.
The United CEO lauded sporting director Dan Ashworth for doing a “fantastic job” in terms of negotiations during the transfer window.
BERRADA SAYS MAKING TOUGH DECISIONS NEEDED ‘TO WIN CONSISTENTLY’
Moreover, Berrada says the club needs to make tough decisions on transfer dealings “to win consistently.”
“Which is why you need to be able to take those decisions and make the right ones consistently over time to be in a position to win consistently,” the CEO said.
Furthermore, United spent close to £200 million (USD221 million) on five players during the first summer window.
On the other hand, this summer window came under United’s new leadership team that includes Berrada.
Incidentally, the club saw the departures of first-team squad members Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Scott McTominay.
ASHWORTH CITES NEED FOR ‘LEAN’ UNITED SQUAD WITH ‘ENOUGH DEPTH’
Furthermore, Ashworth cited the need to have a “lean” United squad with enough depth for the new season.
He said the club can’t afford to have a “bloated” cast as he made tough decisions, notably regarding McTominay’s transfer to Napoli.
“So you want to make sure that the squad is lean, but you have enough depth,” Ashworth said.
“If you run with too big a squad, it can cause problems,” he added.
Meanwhile, Ashworth said Jadon Sancho was not “kicked out” of Old Trafford.
The 24-year-old left to move to Chelsea on loan on deadline day after a public fall-out with manager Erik Ten Hag.
“It was a decision that we made. If it’s right for Jadon (Sancho) and it’s right for us to move on,” Ashworth said.
“We’re not in a position where we’re kicking players out of the club,” he added.
