Although it might look funny in hindsight, I do believe Sir Alex believed he completed a rebuild for the next 3 years at least with a very good squad for the next manager.
He had brought along Jones, Evans and Smalling to replace Rio and Vidic, De Gea was already freakishly good, he loved Welbeck and Cleverly, thought RVP would last another 2 years at least, bought Zaha and in his book said “Powell will be the heart of the England midfield and you can quote me on that”.
