All because we haven't signed anyone yet.
Sigh.
Meltdown in here ever since Chelsea splashed the cash is laughable.

What makes you think it won`t be the case? Our form since Southampton at home has been dodgy at best and from then it was clear depth was an issue and there were holes in the starting 11 that needed fixing and we`ve done zilch about it. City, Arsenal, LFC, Spurs and Chelsea have strengthened and will continue to do so and in the case of Arsenal/Spurs now that they`ve had time to adapt to their new managers no chance they are anywhere near as bad this coming season as they were last season, City/LFC will still have at least 80+ points next season and Chelsea after this window will definitely be within touching distance of the top 2/3.
How do Utd with no investment overcome all these teams/challenges? How do we close a 15 point gap on the top 2 while those below and above us are fixing their problems? It will take an extremely perfect storm of our players remaining fit all season and maintaining high form week in week out for us to even stand a chance
Leeds and Sheffield are dropping sums on players that in their financial reality is the equivalent of what Dortmund want from us for Sancho.
As if there's any other club who can afford him.
This is fans buying the narrative set by the club. We are financially stable, our revenue has not dropped that much that we have no money to spend on transfers considering we have just got rid of £55m worth of wages in Sanchez.
It's been this way for seven years. This is the new normal and everyone just needs to adjust their expectations accordingly.
United's perpetual state of mediocrity is much less painful when it's anticipated. At the moment, it seems like some fans are discovering our dysfunctional state anew every season, which turns this place into some sort of meltdown Olympics for the entire summer.
"Manchester United are really quite crap and are not in the business of competing for trophies; any season where we manage to finish 4th is a season where we have done very, very well." Say it to yourself five times a day until it is ingrained in your psyche - it will really take the sting out of being a United fan.

This fan fury needs to be channelled into something more productive. We all like a rant, don't get me wrong, but constant moaning on Twitter and the Caf' will change nothing - what you going to do about it?
No shit.
I`d rather take a break from football in general till The Glazers leave than accept the current state we are in while others around us are closing in on us and leaving us behind it ain`t good for my mental health. This summer and season will be the sticking point for me.
Is this that Madrid kid ?
Barca.
He’s the one that broke the story of Messi leaving.
Our club is basically all talk and no substance.
So 2 good juniors joined. I think that's great.
Now we just need a good senior player(s) for the 1st team
Imagine if you're Sterling and KDB and you've been consistently the best and most influential players City have had in the past few seasons and Messi walks in and earns twice as much as you.
Love to see some fallout at City.

Wait, what? You're melting down about an imaginary transfer.
This whole thread is a brainfart.
Muppets have no resilience.
Also would be great if they still don't win the CL.Imagine if you're Sterling and KDB and you've been consistently the best and most influential players City have had in the past few seasons and Messi walks in and earns twice as much as you.

His stature in the sport obviously warrants the wage. It's not like they're on a pittance. I'm sure they're all praying for him to join.
If only our bench was stronger I would have been content with no first xi signing this summer because of covid. But we simply need rotation options because our bench is almost relegation quality. Without a stronger bench I don't think top 4 finish will be possible because of how injury prone some of our players are.
They'll care if he doesn't put a shift in,what with there pressing style.
Plus,KDB generally moans at everyone and I dont think Messi will be any different. Does Messi have a thick skin to be on the receiving end of a KDB grumble ?
You do know its the messiah Ole that chooses transfers as well? Remember Josh King
inevitable.
our U23s and academy don’t look like have anyone ready to step up either. Laird maybe. Would be happy to be proven wrong though
We could really do with some good news right now.
That was nothing more than a cheap opportunistic punt, with good reason too.You do know its the messiah Ole that chooses transfers as well? Remember Josh King
The moment Bournemouth wanted 20 million we rightfully walked away.
If Messi joins City and Thiago joins Liverpool then Utd will have to do something big or the backlash against Woodward and the Glazers is going to be biblical.
Personally I'd take no transfers at all and a season of mediocrity if it meant they'd sell up and leave though. It would be worth the anguish.

Messi is footballs Michael Jordan. And there is still cap between Jordan and let's say Karl Malone or Charles Barkley. And not the least in their status or marketin value. They would understand.Imagine if you're Sterling and KDB and you've been consistently the best and most influential players City have had in the past few seasons and Messi walks in and earns twice as much as you.

They have already got an excuse lined up. Due to Covid we cannot pay these sums.
There has to be some real movement against the Glazers. We act like fools in every window.
There is no value in the market.... 23 year old VDB is going for £35m, Gabriel went to arsenal for £27m, Werner went to Chelsea for £50m.
The problem is not value in the market, the problem is United's ability to find value.

an academy signing
Garner and Levitt too.
Not that I would bet on either of them breaking through just yet but there's always a chance, look at Brandon Williams.

We dont necessarily need to do 'something big' and also the reaction will only be reserved to social media.
True, should have said I was assuming Garner will go out on loan
Actually, I think you're right.
We would have been stuck with him for 3-5 years, not a cheap punt at all. It was a terrible thought.
