Man United's former head of football negotiations, Tom Keane, has lifted the lid on the club's record-breaking 2022 summer transfer window — revealing that a year's worth of planning was crammed into just 16 weeks.
The club spent £225m bringing in Antony (£86m), Casemiro (£70m), Lisandro Martinez (£57m), Tyrell Malacia (£13m), Christian Eriksen (free) and Martin Dubravka (loan).
Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe complained in March that some of the players he inherited when taking partial control of the club last year were 'not good enough' and 'overpaid'.
The 72-year-old, whose Ineos company are now responsible for Man United's football operations, has spoken of the club's financial difficulties.
