Certainly not way off the best and still plenty of spending needed to compete with the best European sides. I'm just thankful as a fan they have the funds which over 90% of the premiership don't.
You underestimate the nature of football. If United don't make champions league it is not just they will have less money, but the club will cost more to run. Let me explain. Who is going to join United rather than Spurs based on history? Nobody, the way United will get players over Spurs is bigger wages. It doesn't end there, De Gea, Rojo go to start with.. unless they get a pay rise... yes! the current squad will want a pay rise or move. The players that join are often not great, more like 2nd tier or potential. Then the chairmen aren't profiting so what do they do? Sell players. You have a smaller, less talented squad nobody wants to join. What do the chairmen do? Sell the club. Then the rebuilding starts. United are still falling! they didn't get to the rebuilding stage yet. This Ajax game is the biggest in United recent history. United beat Ajax they can recover in the summer. United lose and I think it is meltdown at United.
Ajax season has already finished. They are having a well deserved rest whilst United's injury ridden squad still has league games to play.
