Fabrizio Romano shares 'do something big' transfer update on Man Utd as 'big plans' emerge

"I keep saying that they will do something big. In the midfield, they also have big plans. It might be one, or it might be two midfielders. It's going to be busy for Man Utd. The Champions League [qualification] success would also mean a lot of investment in the summer transfer window."

"Ineos have pleaded poverty at Old Trafford ever since they arrived, but that hasn't stopped them from spending big on the first-team if the situation demands. Last summer, despite being in no European competitions, United spent north of £200m, an outlay which is paying dividends this season."

Manchester United is positioned for a major summer transfer window despite financial constraints from debt and transfer instalments. Under Ineos ownership, the club has demonstrated willingness to spend substantially on first-team improvements, having invested over £200m last summer without European competition. Fabrizio Romano reports the club will pursue significant midfield reinforcements, potentially signing one or two midfielders. Champions League qualification would enable substantial investment. Elliot Anderson is identified as a chief target, with United potentially breaking Paul Pogba's transfer record if necessary. Michael Carrick's managerial revival has transformed the season, making Champions League qualification an expectation rather than a distant goal.
