Stefan Borson reveals how much Man United will have to spend in next two transfer windows

Financial adviser Borson says Man United must spend heavily in January and summer to rebuild after a mass exodus, despite currently having the fourth-highest wage bill in the Premier League.

Former Manchester City financial adviser Stefan Borson has told Football Insider that Manchester United will need to invest significantly in the January and summer transfer windows to address their squad quality.

Borson explained that United have been reducing their wage bill in recent windows, but must now correct course by bringing in established players. "They're going to have to spend very, very materially, I think, in January and next summer under whichever manager to actually bring the wage bill back up," he said.

The club currently has the fourth-highest wage bill in the Premier League, behind Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal. A mass exodus is expected, with players including Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount all needing to find new clubs. Borson suggested United must decide whether to pursue an aggressive spending strategy or continue a more cautious approach similar to Tottenham's previous model under Daniel Levy.
