Not nearly £600m, more than and that's before Ugarte arrives.United have spent nearly £600m on new players since Ten Hag was appointed in 2022.

Maybe, but then what forwards do we have? Havertz has done well since settling into the new team, hell, even last season when he had an awful start he still hit the same ratio as Nunez

I quoted BBC

and this is the first of the transfer windows where we have actually bought well. The rest of it has been mostly wasted.

Hopefully Ugarte is the missing piece of the puzzle!
I used Utd's accounts + bottom end reported figures for this summer. In ETH's first season Utd spent £247m on transfers and up until q3 of last season £214m (there's possibly more if any performance related add-ons were hit in the final quarter). Bottom end estimates for Yoro etc come to £140m. So even before any possible add-ons on this summer's business and any additional fees paid out last season, that's just over £600m and then there's Ugarte to come. Quite remarkable spending with so little to show for it.

Trossard is a more lethal finisher than Nunez
If youd take Trossard over Nunez youre bonkers tbh. Nunez's record is ridiculous.
Think piggy might be a little upset this morningI think (and hope) Guehi is staying.
Newcastle suffer fresh Marc Guehi blow with Crystal Palace forced into rethink
Newcastle remain hopeful of striking a blockbuster deal for Marc Guehi before Friday's transfer deadline, but an injury blow for Crystal Palace could throw a spanner into the workswww.mirror.co.uk
So ridiculous he can't get a start in an arguably worse team?
The bbc aren't including the addons for any transfers in their final figures I believe

A League Cup and Fa Cup is more than 90% of teams and that's what is remembered in history really.
After all the end goal of a football club is to win trophies and that is pretty much it.

Makes his record even better then doesnt it.
Nunez 31 G/As last season
Trossard + Martinelli 32 G/As
Ok, you're not discussing transfers now so you can drop it or start a new thread to discuss whatever it is you're discussing.
It's not 1995 anymore Adam. Domestic cup success is no measure of performance for a top club.

Perhaps but Man Utd still manage to keep the money rolling in despite being poor by their metrics.
Good revenue plus winning actual silverware. All whilst the football side of things has been frankly terrible.
Money is rolling out a lot quicker than it's rolling in though. Not that long ago Utd had £250m odd sat in the bank and owed other clubs very little in transfer fees. Now Utd have £70m odd sat in the bank and owe other clubs £300m+.
Utd have ****ed money up the wall on transfers over the last 10 years or so, more than even City and have a couple of domestic cups to show and never been further away from challenging for the big two titles.

Oh but a few pages ago it was absolutely fine when there was a two page discussion about who got the most internet clicks
There wasn't a two pages of discussion, there were a handful of posts and had it continued they'd have been told the same and in future if you wish to queries these things you're more than welcome to start a thread in FCD or pm me rather than post in here.
I have to agree with Baz, the FA Cup and particularly League Cup are both pretty much insignificant compared to the PL and CL. The games are treated as an inconvenience for the most part.
Getting into the Champions League is far more desirable than both of the cups.
Back to transfers, we really need these latest signings to work out, or I don't know where we'll end up...
