History

Historical Context

United’s 1998-99 treble under Alex Ferguson was backed by record signings such as Jaap Stam for £10 million and Dwight Yorke, establishing a pattern of heavy spending. In recent years Erik ten Hag has continued that approach, targeting high-profile signings to sustain the club’s ambition for European success and domestic titles across competitions.
