Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness has claimed Man United “have to spend” this summer and could make “four big signings”.
Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, the 66-year-old – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – admitted the Red Devils’ squad will still lack cohesion because of a lack of “direction” at the top level.
Man United finished eighth last season but will play Europa League football in the 2024-25 campaign after winning the FA Cup.
As per multiple sources, Erik ten Hag will stay on as manager next term after the conclusion of an end-of-season review.
The Red Devils are now turning attention to summer business, with Football Insider revealing on Monday (10 June) that United are poised to race Tottenham to sign Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze.
Man United ‘have the resources’ for ‘four big signings’, says Wyness
Wyness claimed the club have the headroom in Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) to spend big.
He told Football Insider‘s Insider Track podcast: “Without Dan Ashworth or someone in that sporting director role, with a manager who is unstable in his position – how can they make serious decisions?
“Who’s going to be making those decisions? It’s very hard to see.
“I think Man United have to spend. There’s going to be fan pressure again.
“They have to shore up the defence, they have to do something with the attack.
“They’ve got the resources to do it, they’ve got the PSR headroom to make it happen.
“I think they will carry on and try and make three or four big signings.
“But the squad still won’t be cohesive, because there’s no real direction in terms of who is making these big decisions.
“I’ve heard Jason Wilcox is going to help with the style of play, but he shouldn’t be involved in the transfer targets.
“This is not the strong leadership they had under Sir Alex Ferguson and David Gill. It’s now being run by a committee.
“United may end up being a strange collection of players with another tough season ahead.”
