Manchester United’s project under Erik ten Hag is in a really good place after his side claimed their first trophy in six years - and the frightening thought for Newcastle’s wealthy owners is how much they, and the rest of the Premier League, are going to have to spend to keep pace with them in future.

The Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund has already spent €338million buying the club and another €280m on players since arriving in 2021. But despite an estimated wealth of €360billion, it looks like the price of success on a football pitch is only going to grow after their team was comfortably beaten at Wembley.
