Manchester United is confronted this summer with missing some important goals – and the risk of losing a number of crucial first team players.
The Red Devils suffered a 1-0 defeat against Tottenham in the Europa League final on Wednesday.
As a result, they will not play European football next season.
And to make matters worse, United will therefore miss £ 100 million in income from a reduction of sponsorship income, TV income and port receptions.
The reduction in income probably means that head coach Ruben Amorim will have to adjust his transfer plans.
After the final of the Europa League, he admitted: “We have two plans for the market.
“We must understand that it is difficult for a club like ours not to be in the Champions League.
“But we have to use the other side.
“If we have more time to think and work during the week and to be better in the Premier League, that will be our focus.”
Viktor Gyokees, Benjamin Sesko and Liam Delap are currently understood as the preferred goals of the club.
But SunSport revealed earlier this week that officials have reserved some 'Plan B' options in case the budget is reduced.
Lorenzo Lucca, Mateo Retegui, Moise Kean and Jean-Philippe Mateta can all be considered by the Red Devils.
United is already about to complete a deal for Wolves Forward Matheus Cunha.
They are expected to pay his £ 62.5 million release clause when the Premier League season ends.
Although one player is already in line for the summer window, Amorim and Co may also have to consider potential departure.
After Wednesday's defeat, club captain Bruno Fernandes admitted that he would be willing to leave if United should cash him in this summer.
Alejandro Garnacho also hinted that he could decide to stop for the 2025-26 season.
If both players leave, it will leave two important gaps in the team.
Amorim will then have to find a solution that are already looking within or looking elsewhere.
Mason Mount can invade midfield to replace Fernandes when he leaves.
Cunha can then intervene to replace Garnacho in attack.
As things are outstanding, the defense will probably remain the same.
Man Utd should receive a boost when Lisandro Martinez returns from his injury later this year.
