🚨 Omar Berrada on Manchester United's transfer strategy: 🎤 Reporter: "Omar, Manchester United have walked away from a number of deals this summer. Is that a change in philosophy?" 🗣️ Omar Berrada: "We have to be really disciplined. We have a plan. We know what we can invest and we have to stick to that. "It's very important that you don't let the market or the agents dictate what we should be doing." United's actions this summer appear to reflect that approach, with the club unwilling to meet inflated asking prices. Omar Berrada's comments tell you everything you need to know about the new Manchester United. For years, we were the club that panicked. We overpaid. We got dragged into bidding wars. We signed players because the market demanded it, not because they fit a clear plan. That mentality is exactly what left us with an unbalanced squad. Now, the message is different. If a club asks for more than a player is worth, United will walk away. If an agent tries to inflate wages, United will walk away. No more panic buying. No more signing players just to satisfy the fans. Every signing has to make footballing sense and financial sense. It might frustrate fans in the short term, but this is how successful clubs operate. The best recruitment isn't always about who you sign... Sometimes it's about knowing which deals to walk away from.
