(Reuters) - Manchester United chief executive Ed Woodward says clubs will not spend 'hundreds of millions' when signing new players in the transfer window as they will be mindful of the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Woodward said it would be a challenging time in the market and it may not be"business as usual" for clubs, including United, when they look for new recruits. Tottenham Hotspur defender Jan Vertonghen said earlier this week that free agents will be coveted more than others during the transfer window as clubs look to rebound from the financial crisis.
