Ruben Amorim has revealed that the Premier League profit and sustainability rules limit the activity of Manchester United in the transfer market and stated that the team will not change much.
The failure of the Red Devils to beat Tottenham in the Europa League final, saw them miss the £ 100 million windfall from the Champions League and further exposed a precarious financial position.
United has to overhaul a team that has shown that it is unable to perform the Portuguese '3-4-3 system, but Amorim has warned that this will not be easy and is encouraged for patience of supporters.
“Without Champions League we don't need a big team, we can check the team in a better way,” he told reporters prior to the tour after the season by the club through Asia.
'We have a plan that is to take a number of new players with us, but our big plan is to improve the team that we have to improve our academy, that is the future, is not going to change that much because we have the FFP rules, we can't do much this summer.
'It is important to stay together. We are going to struggle, it will not be everything right away, but I see the team improving and that is the most important thing. '
Despite the plea of Amorim for caution, the club quickly moved on the market to secure the signature of the Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha from Wolves.
De Wolves will go to Old Trafford in a £ 62.5 million deal, while Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo – appreciated at £ 50 million – is also being chased.
A busy summer of incoming and departure was expected, regardless of the outcome of the Europa League final in the midst of a horrible competition campaign in which the club finished 15th at only 42 points.
United's League Record Since the 40-year-old from Sporting CP in November, Abject is. They only succeeded in seven victories in 27 games, scored 32 and admitted 42.
But after he had demanded an unlikely victory against Aston Villa on the last day, Amorim was sensational that he saw improvement and emphasized his conviction that United is going in the right direction.
“A really tough season without trophies in the competition,” he added. 'It is a really big club that lives and changes things.
'For some people it is difficult to understand and see, but I think we are improving as a team. That lack of goals punishes us in some games. If I have to choose a positive, it is that feeling in the stadium with the fans and that is the start of something. '
United only flew a few hours after saving some pride to Malaysia from their worst Premier League season ever by beating Aston Villa 2-0 on Sunday.
Mail Sport understands that the club is paid around £ 8 million for the trip, so that they will play in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and then in Hong Kong.
