Manchester United borrowed 105 million additional pounds to finance its ambitious summer transfer window, or more than 120 million euros, thus bringing its overall debt to an even higher level. The club took advantage of a overhaul of its renewable credit facilities, increasing their ceiling to 350 million pounds and extending their deadline until December 2029 according to The Athletic. These resources have enabled the club to align new reinforcements, including Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko, as well as the Kardien Senne Lammens.

Despite the sale of Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and the activation of clauses on old transfers, the net balance remains high, more than 185 million euros. These operations, associated with the prints made on credit facilities between July and September, testify to the club's strategy aimed at quickly strengthening the first team of Amorim while managing its cash via sophisticated financial instruments. The management of Old Trafford thus used these loans to support sports ambitions despite an already substantial debt, as is the sporting situation, which is complicated day after day.
