Aren't we?
But somehow Gattuso got the Napoli job!We're already there. Just like them, we hired our former player (Inzaghi, Gattuso) who has shown nothing as a manager and gave him huge responsibilities, just so that he can show how inept he and our board are.
We've turned into Liverpool.
Players Out | Transfer Fee | Wages (per week) | Players In | Transfer Fee | Wages (per week) | Temporary Squad Players | Promoted Youngsters |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Smalling | £15m | £70k | Experienced fullback to cover both sides. | £30m | £100k | Romero | Garner |
Jones | £5m | £75k | Defensive Midfielder | £45m | £120k | Pereira | Laird |
Rojo | £10m | £80k | Attacking Midfielder | £65m | £180k | Mata | |
Bailly | £15m | £80k | Right Winger | £90m | £200k | Dalot | |
Lingard | £25m | £100k | Experienced Striker (Target man of some sort) | £20m | £100k | Shaw | |
Matic | £10m | £120k | | | |||
Sanchez | £10m | £390k | Net Spend | Net Wages | |||
Total | £90m | £915k | £250m | £700k | £160m | £215k (11m / year) |
The only difference between us and AC Milan is that they had a squad with an average age close to 30 whereas we have a squad with an average age of puberty.
As bad as things are, there's still a kernel of hugely talented players in this squad which, given the right coaching and given the right additions is ready to take off and can achieve something special. We have managed to cut back a lot of the chaff over the last year and it's a very lean squad which should leave plenty of funds to add the quality we require.
De Gea, Henderson
Wan Bissaka, Williams
Maguire, Lindelof, Taunzebe
Pogba, McTominay, Fred
Rashford, Martial, Greenwood, James
That's a core squad of 14 talented players, average age of 23.
I think we should then have the following as our plan for squad management in the short term:

£160m outlay and in my opinion we'd have a squad capable of challenging for the league in the next couple of years.
I'll have what you're taking.

Where he's doing a fantastic job againBut somehow Gattuso got the Napoli job!
We're not quite there yet. When we start buying washed up superstars like Beckham and Ronaldinho, our journey will be complete.
You can make an argument that AC Milan are actually better off at the moment!
From a United fan perspective, awful.
From a neutral perspective... is this not good? Do we want clubs to be entrenched at the top just because of their history? Is it healthy that no club in La Liga has any chance of winning the league apart from the big 3?

Do you genuinely think someone would pay £25m for Lingard? He's become a meme and well deserved.The only difference between us and AC Milan is that they had a squad with an average age close to 30 whereas we have a squad with an average age of puberty.

Who gives a shit?

It's good for football that big clubs can fail and become irrelevant. But please let it happen to Bayern, Barcelona, Juventus, Madrid, Liverpool, anyone but us.From a United fan perspective, awful.
