The boys are well and truly back in town….
Manchester United look like they’re back to their smug best after three years in the relative wilderness. They’ve got the world’s most expensive footballer. An arrogant striker who thinks he is a God, and a manager who’s a master of the tactical dark arts.
Put it all together and they’re back at the Premier League’s big boy table. They even won their last game against Hull in Fergie Time to cap off their return as the main event bad guys of the Premier League.
Now the folk at Electronic Arts have underline just how bastard annoying Manchester United are, by giving them the largest transfer budget in Career Mode for FIFA 17.
Thanks to a brand new ‘leak’, we now know the transfer budgets for the Premier League’s top clubs and Jose Mourinho’s United have the most money at their disposal with a budget of £122,134,856. It’s closely followed by Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City who apparently have £100,981,872 to blow in the transfer market.
Both clubs have spent more than £150m in the transfer market this summer so it seems like they’ve been allocated the most money to play with on the game.
Chelsea, whose new boss Antonio Conte has brought in the likes of Michy Batshuayi and N’Golo Kante, will have £93,237,112 to spend on the game.
In Europe it looks like PSG have a fair chunk of money to replace the imperious Zlatan Ibrahimovic, being allocated a transfer kitty of. And if you’re planning on taking over the reins at Real Madrid, you’re going to have £89,024,592 at your disposal.
