The £1BILLION transfer window

The £1BILLION transfer window: Man United's frantic buys push Premier League deals to record level... and there's more to come

.

NICK HARRIS: Manchester United's frantic rebuilding programme to patch up the inadequate squad left by Sir Alex Ferguson has been a major factor in propelling Premier League spending to record levels for a summer window. The combined outlay for the 20 clubs stood at £755.9million, even before United's £14m deal to buy Daley Blind from Ajax, subject to medical and personal terms, was announced. Of that, £570m has gone overseas, with Spain alone receiving £238.7m. The arrival of Blind will take United's summer spree to almost £150m and sets up a tantalising question with just a few dozen hours of this window remaining. Will this be a £1billion window?
