Manchester United won't be handing Ruben Amorim the same transfer war chest as Erik ten Hag as INEOS push to end a troublesome cycle since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement, according to reports. United have overseen multiple reckless rebuilds under the image of different coaches over the last decade, instigating financial and sporting implications.
Since 2013, an eye-watering sum of money has been expended on recruitment, only for continued failure on the pitch to lead to a managerial change and, subsequently, a transfer strategy switch-up.
Ten Hag was handed over £600million across his two-and-a-half-year reign, making up most of the squad that Amorim has inherited at Old Trafford.
