Manchester United executive co-chairman Joel Glazer insisted the level of debt at Old Trafford has not impacted the Premier League giants in the transfer market.
The Glazer family have been scrutinised since taking over United in 2005, with the Red Devils saddled in huge debt ever since, though the criticism came to a head following the club s decision to sign up for the doomed European Super League in April.
United fans have continued to call for further transfer funding amid the club s trophy drought – dating back to 2017, while they have not won the Premier League since 2013, and investment to renovate Old Trafford.
After finishing second to neighbours Manchester City in 2020-21, United have been linked with Borussia Dortmund pair Jadon Sancho and Erling Haa…

Knowing that three points will be enough to officially extend on their Premiership status, Ross County will welcome Aberdeen to Victoria Park on Sunday afternoon.
Starting with the hosts, while Ross County might have suffered last-gasp heartbreak away at St. Johnstone earlier in the week as they had to settle for a 1-1 stalemate, the Staggies are still sat in the driving seat to keep hold of their Premiership status. Opening their season finale holding a two-point buffer from slipping into the relegation play-off spots, interim boss Don Cowie will be desperate for his squad to drag themselves over the finishing line. Although the Dingwall-based outfit might have been last seen at Victoria Park suffering a woeful 5-1 drummi…
Luis Diaz says he is happy at Liverpool as speculation continues to surround his future at the club.
While there have been no official approaches to Liverpool for the Colombian, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are both reportedly interested in his signature in the upcoming transfer window.
It was also reported earlier this month that Liverpool had apparently lowered their asking price for Diaz amidst the interest.
Speaking after Colombia s 5-1 friendly win over the United States, Diaz addressed his future, saying: I am very happy there in Liverpool, it is a great team and club, he told Gol Caracol.

Gareth Southgate acknowledged it is hard work for England so far at Euro 2024, but attempted to focus on the positives despite another underwhelming draw for his side, this time against Slovenia.
The goalless clash in Cologne on Tuesday was enough for the Three Lions to secure top spot in Group C ahead of Denmark, who also drew 0-0 with Serbia.
Southgate s side therefore avoided a last-16 tie against Germany, but struggled once more to find an attacking spark.
The front three of Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka and Phil Foden managed just two shots on target between them, while also registering just nine touches in Slovenia s penalty box.
England came under heavy criticism following their 1-1 draw with Denmark last week and there were boos from sections of their s…
Chelsea s Champions League final win in May was their third consecutive victory over Manchester City in all competitions.
Only two managers have ever beaten Pep Guardiola three times in a row since he left Barcelona B: Jurgen Klopp, and now Thomas Tuchel.
It was Klopp s Liverpool who denied City three Premier League titles in three seasons when they triumphed in 2019-20. It s Tuchel s Chelsea who look best placed to wrestle the crown from the head of the champions in 2021-22.
The Blues begin their campaign in the UEFA Super Cup against Europa League winners Villarreal: no pushovers, as Manchester United will tell you, but a team who will not be expected to win in Belfast.
It could be a double celebration for Chelsea fans, too, as a deal to bring Romelu L…
Samir Nasri has confirmed his retirement from football at the age of 34.
The former France international announced his decision on Canal+, where he is now a pundit, on Sunday.
Nasri came through at Marseille and transferred to Arsenal in 2008, spending three years at Emirates Stadium before he joined Manchester City.
At City, Nasri won two Premier League titles, an EFL Cup and a Community Shield. He joined Sevilla on loan in 2016-17 and seemed to have revitalised his career in LaLiga, though the move was not made permanent.
A short spell in Turkey with Antalyaspor followed, but Nasri mutually terminated his contract in January 2018, before he received a six-month ban from football by UEFA for breaching WADA rules in December 2016 by receiving an intr…
Simone Inzaghi has regrets after Inter twice blew the lead in Sunday s 2-2 draw at Sampdoria on what was his 200th Serie A game as a coach.
Federico Dimarco s first Nerazzurri goal, an unstoppable free-kick, and a sublime Lautaro Martinez volley twice had champions Inter on course for victory at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.
However, a luckless own goal from Edin Dzeko and an expert Tommaso Augello volley earned Sampdoria a point, with Inter s misery compounded when Stefano Sensi went off injured late on.
There are regrets, because it s a game we should ve and could ve won. A team like ours took the lead twice, then made mistakes with the Ivan Perisic, Hakan Calhanoglu and other easy chances, Inzaghi told Sky Sport Italia.
We conceded two goals, one was an…
Jose Mourinho said he wants to deliver titles to Roma as the Portuguese boss embraces the eternal passion in the Italian capital.
Mourinho is back in Serie A with Roma in 2021-22 following his Tottenham sacking in April.
Roma are fourth in the league standings, six points behind flawless leaders Napoli through seven rounds during the international break.
The Giallorossi have not won Serie A since 2001, while not since 2008 have they claimed silverware, something head coach Mourinho is looking to change.
I would give Roma titles, because a club lives with titles and they fuel the passion of the fans, former Chelsea, Inter, Real Madrid and Manchester United boss Mourinho told Esquire magazine.

Mick McCarthy has been appointed as the new Republic of Ireland manager but will be replaced by Stephen Kenny after the Euro 2020 finals.
McCarthy previously managed Ireland between 1996 and 2002, guiding them to the last 16 of the World Cup in Japan and South Korea in the final year of that tenure.
Kenny – who has led Dundalk to four League of Ireland titles in the last five seasons – will take over Ireland s Under-21 side before moving up to the senior post in two years time.
McCarthy – who left his role as Ipswich Town boss in April – replaces Martin O Neill, who stepped down on Wednesday after a difficult year.
They failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup and then endured a miserable start to life in the Nations League, ultimately getting …
Zlatko Dalic is optimistic Luka Modric will play for Croatia at Euro 2024.
Modric won the Ballon d Or after leading Croatia to the World Cup final in Russia four years ago, and the Real Madrid star enjoyed another fine tournament as Dalic s men reached the final four in Qatar.
However, the 37-year-old was unable to inspire his team to a semi-final victory over Argentina on Tuesday, leading to suggestions he may retire from the international game.
Modric refused to give anything away regarding his future after the defeat, and Dalic is hopeful he will stay on for at least another 18 months.
I hope that he [Modric] will be there [at Euro 2024], Dalic said. I am looking forward to it.
It is not certain that he will there be and he will personally de…
