Having had a disastrous season, in which they have lost more games (14) than they have won (12), Manchester United intend to bet the world on the summer transfer market to ensure that the next one will be much better.

According to Monday's edition of the British newspaper The TimesThe Red Devils' management is planning to spend "several hundred million" euros, breaking all Premier League investment records in a single window.

According to Notícias ao Minuto, the English Premier League's financial fair-play regulations prevent any club from making a loss of more than 15 million pounds - 17.3 million euros - within three years. However, there is an exception for those with new owners.

And this is precisely where Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the UK's richest man, who bought 25% of the emblem's share capital for 1.5 billion euros, comes into the equation and promises to sustain a real 'madness' in the off-season.
