Why Man Utd's transfer plans will not be affected by the coronavirus crisis

Manchester United could still manage to land their top targets when the transfer window reopens despite the financial uncertainty surrounding football at the moment, a finance expert believes.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said United could look to 'exploit' the transfer market when it opens again with the Norwegian looking to strengthen his squad by at least three players in the summer. Despite the financial challenges surrounding Covid-19, football finance expert Kieran Maguire believes United will be in a strong position.

“In a depressed market anyone with cash is in a strong position. And anyone with a strong balance sheet, and United do have that, will be able to leverage on that and get bargains,” Maguire, a football finance lecturer from Liverpool University told Goal.
