Ruben Amorim Likely to Follow Ten Hag’s Spending Pattern at Man United

Ruben Amorim — Manchester United’s new manager — is predicted to follow the big spending pattern of his predecessor Erik ten Hag, who spent around €650 million on 13 new players.

Ten Hag made significant investments during his tenure — including bringing in Antony (€95 million), Casemiro (€70.65 million), and Rasmus Højlund (€77.8 million).

2022-2023 season: Antony, Casemiro, Lisandro Martínez, Tyrell Malacia
2023-2024 season: Rasmus Højlund, Mason Mount, André Onana, Altay Bayındır
2024-2025 season: Leny Yoro, Manuel Ugarte, Matthijs de Ligt, Joshua Zirkzee, Noussair Mazraoui

The extensive spending became one of the factors leading to Ten Hag’s dismissal — team performance did not match the scale of investment made. Amorim, who was appointed last November, is expected to continue leading the team into the 2025-2026 season with a focus on revamping the squad.

Despite concerns about financial sustainability, Manchester United appears committed to backing its manager in the transfer market. The upcoming transfer window will be a crucial indicator of Amorim‘s vision and the club’s long-term direction.
