Hasn’t looked amazing, but Haaland has looked fast and strong in the few touches he’s gotten

They can't even attract the same caliber of player anymore.

you don't need "great" players to improve on what we have. we could have bought jesus for the striker position. we could have bought bissouma.

there are plenty of good players out there but it takes planning and it takes long term planning.

if players are expensive tap them up years before their contracts run out. like how juve probably told pogba that he can come back ages ago.

With Tottenham and Arsenal in the ascendency they will continue to struggle unless they take drastic measures.

man utd can attract any player that arsenal can.

Man City has firmly replaced them as the establishment club of Manchester.

that's always a risk but you have to wait until after pep leaves to see if it is just a pep-blip.

also we are not losing out because of what is going on on the pitch. the pitch doesn't matter as much as people think it does.

it is the usual english management that is ruining the club behind the scenes. man city brought in the best of the best to manage the club after the bought it. no old boys network. no faces fitting. just guys who know what they are doing.


meanwhile at MU

they let ole buy crap players for high fees
high wages and new contracts for useless players
let pogba go twice for nothing
let lingard go for nothing
didn't sell henderson when they had the chance
signed sancho for too much
signed up sponsor "team viewer"
let the stadium decay
didn't tap RR up for mid-priced players in other leagues. it would have been easy to adjust his consultancy to non-football plus working in tandem with the scouting team
got caught on cam talking rubbish
very public transfer sagas which lead to snubs
rebellion in the dressing room

all of this makes the club seem inferior to ukl's competitors ... and this only in the past 3 or so years :hhh:
