Woodward assures Man Utd fans: Big spending will continue

The club’s revenue next year is likely to exceed £500million thanks to the return to Europe’s top competition and, speaking at United’s official Fans’ Forum, Woodward revealed that more money will be ploughed back into squad rebuilding.

The Red Devils have splashed out close to £250million since Louis van Gaal’s arrival at Old Trafford, brining in the likes of Memphis Depay, Ander Herrera and Anthony Martial.

Manchester United’s executive vice chairman, Ed Woodward, has claimed that the club was linked with more than 100 players over the summer, per the Daily Mail.

Revenues at the club are expected to pass the £500m mark this year, with several new commercial deals bringing a healthy flow of money into the transfer kitty.

United’s signings have been hit and miss since Louis van Gaal took over at the club, with club record signing Angel di Maria offloaded at a substantial loss to Paris Saint-Germain just a season after he joined following his underwhelming performances.

United pride themselves on promoting young players through their ranks into the first team.

United’s Premier League rivals Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal are represented in the Women’s Super League while the 20 times English champions disbanded their women’s team in 2005.
