Manager Louis van Gaal recently said that the lack of activity was due to the traditional problem that very few players who could improve an elite side are available at the turn of the year.
In a call to investors when the club's latest financial figures were released in November, Ed Woodward struck a similar chord.
With a number of players set to depart it would not be a surprise if the Dutch boss was handed a similar amount to last summer, when £156m was spent on the likes of Angel di Maria, Radamel Falcao and Daley Blind.
Roma midfielder Kevin Strootman, Southampton full back Nathaniel Clyne and Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels are all thought to be on the radar.
