just worsens their PSR numbers, so while they can, it depletes the money they have for Cunha etc

"It would be a silver lining. A win in the Europa League isn't going to make up for the most disastrous season," Meulensteen told BBC Sport, with United languishing 16th in the Premier League, and now condemned to their lowest top-flight finish for more than half a century.
"But if they don't win it, why would we expect anything different next season? The trophy would free up some finances to get players in.
"If they don't win it, we won't be in Europe, and I really worry what the future is going to look like."

"Financially, it's the most important match in the club's history," says football finance expert Kieran Maguire.
"Champions League participation is crucial, because it could generate over £100m from tickets, broadcast money, and sponsor bonuses."

"United still have one of the highest wage bills in the Premier League. They have a squad which has cost more than £1bn, and many of those deals have been on credit, so they have outstanding instalments of over £300m that need to be paid," says Maguire.
"So they need the cash from the Champions League to meet their ongoing financial obligations, and that's before they start recruiting the players the manager wants. The additional revenue will put the club in a far stronger position in terms of a reboot."
Such thoughts are echoed by former United defender Rio Ferdinand who told PA that victory could spark a "new era" for the club.
"With Manchester United, they need the money to recruit for this manager and it's a vital period for him in that sense," he said. "I do think it's a chance to press the restart button and it will be a new era if these are the guys who managed to win."

 

IT'S BEAUTIFUL

£10m penalty to Adidas for no European football

Rashford, Sancho and Antony to worry about 

 

And gobs***e Ferdinand is talking about Amorim being able to have a full reset  ! Laughable
