TLDR:
Manchester United’s main focus in the January transfer window is to improve their financial situation rather than strengthen the squad, according to a source. The club is concerned about breaching financial rules and wants to position themselves well for the summer window. While they haven’t ruled out making signings this month, their priority is to adhere to financial rules set by UEFA and the Premier League. United has already allowed players such as Donny van de Beek and Jadon Sancho to leave on loan. The club announced record revenues for the first quarter and further details about new minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s stake in the club.
