To celebrate not playing in Europe next season, Manchester United are now preparing to spend a quarter of the entire spending of La Liga during the last summer transfer window (mind you, Spanish clubs even ended up with a net surplus that window). It sure is fun being a strong but not top 1-2 side in Europe's non English top five leagues.

So how many players can they affort with £100m? Like 3 to 4 established players or up to 15 of non established players?

The footballing market is way too bloated...

Currently this would be the price for one "superstar" (not that many would consider ruining a promising career at United right now), 3-5 established players, depending on where they played before and what their track record looks like, or 5+ "kids" with little to no experience on the highest level. Then again someone like Omar Marmoush recently set back City about 60 million pounds despite only having one good season under his belt.

They would have to poker to get a bunch of Sporting players that know Amorin and want to play for him agian, but I doubt any of the bigger names like Gyöskeres would be willing to go for cheap.
