So Dortmund were due to pay him a bonus, Dortmund said they wanted it back off United as part of the fee, United said no, so he had to forego it. That's a contribution.
Honestly don't think United's financial picture is as rosy as they'd have you believe, from a transfer fund PoV.

I despise the glazers as much as anyone, but the previous manager is the person to look at if United's transfer funds are being restricted, given how much he wasted.

No, see above. And the previous manager was operating under restrictions too.
Taking the position United have tons of money and can buy who they want makes it easier to point the finger at the manager when only shit players arrive though, so... We'll see how the position of certain forumistas changes as we still don't compete for the top players.
That said, it's not looking like many of the top rated players will be moving this summer, probably only Pogba.
