In the summer transfer window, Manchester United made five permanent additions in addition to loaning out Amrabat and Reguilon.
In spite of persistent problems with their outlays, Manchester United’s transfer negotiator Matt Hargreaves is working to improve the club’s standing in the market.
After years of overpaying, Hargreaves, who was named transfer negotiator in June, is reportedly trying to adopt a new strategy.
In the summer transfer window, United spent £192.1 million on additions, a decrease of about £30 million from the previous year’s record-breaking window.
For Rasmus Hojlund, Mason Mount, and Andre Onana, the club secured upfront payments of £62 million, £43.8 million, and £55 million, respectively. Prior to the start of the season, United finished their three important acquisitions.
The former Adidas marketing director criticized the “extra 0” teams try to add to a player’s price when United are interested in signing them. Hargreaves is screaming against the “United tax” that clubs have imposed.
Hargreaves is well regarded in the industry and was successful at luring A-list clientele for Adidas despite his lack of club experience.
According to agency insiders, Hargreaves played a significant role in United’s summer discussions, while club employees praised John Murtough’s planning and management of the process.
Despite the fact that four of their seven new hires joined on deadline day, United was satisfied with their hiring since they felt they avoided any controversy.
