Former Man Utd chief Tom Keane lifts the lid on the club's record-breaking 2022 summer transfer window 😳
🗣️ "There were a couple of challenges. One of the biggest was everyone was new. The way it would normally work is the transfer window shuts and in September they start planning for the following summer.
"What happened for us that summer, I think because of circumstances, the work started in May. It felt like we did a year's work in 12 to 16 weeks. I literally lived at the training ground and I didn't see my family, which was fine as I knew what I was getting myself into and it was part of the experience.
"The budget side of it, the finance department had oversight of everything that was going on to ensure the club was remaining compliant with its PSR obligations. In terms of negotiations, the process was really detailed and it had to be.
"Big sums of money, so the stakes are high and with football players you are signing humans. You can't guarantee anything and all the work is trying to minimise risk. You're trying to improve the chances of the signing being a success." 👀
