Distraught Man Utd fans says ‘well, nice knowing you lads’ after underwhelming summer transfer budget is revealed
MANCHESTER UNITED fans are fearing the worst after their summer transfer budget was revealed.
The Red Devils are on course to qualify for the Champions League but it appears that will do little to boost the coffers.
According to The Athletic, Erik ten Hag will be given just £100million to spend.
And considering that is the asking price of one of their main targets, Declan Rice, some fans are concerned.
Ten Hag is also believed to have made Harry Kane his number one summer target, and Tottenham will likely demand in excess of £100m for the striker.
So fans are worried the prospect of a limited budget could affect the quality of United’s signings – the club spent £85m on Antony alone last summer.
One supporter wrote: “Well nice knowing you lads.”
Another added: “Hahahaha we are finished ”
A third said: “Yikes. We ain’t making any signings lol.
And another commented: “We’re never getting out of the trenches anytime soon.”

When asked about United’s summer budget, Ten Hag said: “I don’t have influence on that. I don’t know.
“The only thing I know is that Man United is one of the biggest clubs in the world from a fanbase perspective.
“This club has to compete for the highest in the world, so Champions League, Premier League. But in football you need funds to construct squads because in the end of the day the level from your players makes if you are successful or not.”
