Michael Carrick is confident that Manchester United can compete at the top of the Premier League despite comparatively limited spending compared to rivals.
Manchester United spent around £163m on new signings during the summer, focusing on a midfield rebuild with Carlos Baleba, Youri Tielemans, and Andrey Santos all arriving at Old Trafford.
Their £163m spend ranked ninth for overall spending and seventh for net spend across the Premier League.
For comparison, Manchester City spent £440.3m on new signings, with Chelsea (£342.4m) and Tottenham (£334m) and Liverpool (£250.1m) all spending heavily.
Despite the larger investment from direct rivals, Carrick is confident he has put together a squad that can compete, and said success is not always about price tags.
