Seriously though, do you think they might just be?
I think they are seriously in denial. They have made awful trades for players that are not worth the transfer fee amount - Fellaini - Mata - Di Maria - Luke Shaw!!!!. The selling clubs were delighted to be paid so much - in some cases for players that weren't starting or part of their teams' future. Then they bring in two mamagers who rush to make these trades to show that they are "decision makers". Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Everton are laughing at this spectacle of blind spending.
Meanwhile - decent Man U players are loaned out to other clubs and forgotten.
The Ferguson years are gone - and the triumphs are years away from returning.
I'm pretty sure everyone agreed that united needed new players. None of them played tonight.
maybe so, I hope not because they represent England.
we will be back
Buying and spending on good players like its no tomorrow and changing the whole XI, may just lead to mediocrity in the end.
