Manchester United's football director John Murtough discussed the club's transfer business during September's meeting with investors and his comments are worth revisiting, especially with the January window now just around the corner.
Murtough said: "During the summer, we made significant investment in the first-team squad with the permanent addition of five regular starters, including a balance of experienced international players and younger, emerging talent.
"We will continue to support Erik [Ten Hag] in ensuring he has players with the right quality and characters to achieve success, while ensuring that investment remains consistent with our commitment to financial sustainability.
