Who said these guys are not into football? They obviously know all the memes.

Our Board will be perfectly OK with that. It's finishing ahead of Leicester/Spurs (and therefore securing CL football) that is the priority.If Chelsea get Kounde and Saul, I’ll be asking serious questions of our board.
Regardless of us being able to move players or not, we must sign a midfielder.
We’ve used funds ahead of schedule before (Bruno) so why not this summer too?
Chelsea and Liverpool are already looking strong and I don’t see us finishing higher than them or City without anymore signings.

God I hate to admit this is true and so sickening to see all of our rivals with such quality midfield depth whilst we can't even buy a starter player in this window let alone someone just there for rotation purposesOur Board will be perfectly OK with that.

It might sting just a little when Mbappe leaves on a free next season.
We already have a £40 million midfield signing sat on the bench, if Ole had spent that money more wisely we wouldn't be in this desperate situation with the midfield.God I hate to admit this is true and so sickening to see all of our rivals with such quality midfield depth whilst we can't even buy a starter player in this window let alone someone just there for rotation purposes
Yet we couldn’t even beat Southampton.Bit too early to say Liverpool are looking strong. They've beaten Norwich and Burnley.
Not sure that’s true? We used last years funds on other players when we couldn’t get Sancho.Tbf Sancho was last year’s funds really.
I think we all know that is happening. It also seems like the bid from RM was nothing more than a token, We’re thinking about you Mbappe.It might sting just a little when Mbappe leaves on a free next season.
Yeah have made that point so many times and it still frustrates the hell out of me we are now unable to get what we needWe already have a £40 million midfield signing sat on the bench, if Ole had spent that money more wisely we wouldn't be in this desperate situation with the midfield.
Yes, indeed. It is a strange notion since United are probably the highest net spenders over the last 10 years or so.We’ve spent nearly 400m in the last 2.5 years…why is all of Twitter and half of this place acting like we spend feck all? I know it’s been all of 10 days since we signed a new shiny toy but feck me.
Doesn’t mean questions can’t be asked. Seems like we’re a few kicks in the butt short when it comes to pushing them to take action.Our Board will be perfectly OK with that. It's finishing ahead of Leicester/Spurs (and therefore securing CL football) that is the priority.

We have 90m Pogba, 40m Matic, 50m Fred and 60m Bruno to go with that 40m Donny. Not spending money is the problem though. It’s like I’m living in the twilight zone. Yes Matic needs upgrading but after spending 110m so far it’s perfectly reasonable to think if nobody leaves then nobody else comes in.We already have a £40 million midfield signing sat on the bench, if Ole had spent that money more wisely we wouldn't be in this desperate situation with the midfield.
Yeah I don't care if it's a panic buy we are really that desperate nowDoesn’t mean questions can’t be asked. Seems like we’re a few kicks in the butt short when it comes to pushing them to take action.
Sancho & Varane was good business but let’s not let them get away with being stingy when there’s fairly good deals available in the market (Camavinga/Neves 35m, or atleast get Saul on a loan.. these are players who were costing double the values just a year ago) and we can easily avoid having to play the likes of Matic.
Going to City would break his legacy.Jesus Ronny to City and no midfield signing would be such a kick in the teeth
It's outrageousRonny to City and no midfield signing would be such a kick in the teeth
Is he suggesting bench for Mbappe?Who said these guys are not into football? They obviously know all the memes.
Yeah his bridges would be well and truly torched with the fanbaseGoing to City would break his legacy.
Yeah certainly is but due to poor planning we can't do anything about signing oneIt's outrageous
Corrected.Penaldo to City and no midfield signing would be such a kick in the teeth
Don't forget the £30m spent on Amad and Pellestri that couldn't been put towards a central midfielder. Why go in for them if we know we have no intention of playing them and are going to be back in for Sancho a season later? We are just not very savvy with our transfer kitty.We have 90m Pogba, 40m Matic, 50m Fred and 60m Bruno to go with that 40m Donny. Not spending money is the problem though.

Did he not deliver at RB then? They paid £20m odd for him only last season, right?Sørloth's actually on the move again.
I doubt he gives a feck.Going to City would break his legacy.
Ugh we really have proper wasted some money in last years window apart from Edi who was a free agent, damn it due to these bloody decisions we have basically now tied our own hands behind the backDon't forget the £30m spent on Amad and Pellestri that couldn't been put towards a central midfielder.

The thought of playing any of the top 3 with our current midfield gives me bad dreams.Yeah I don't care if it's a panic buy we are really that desperate now
We've improved in the last 2 seasons, but there have been a number of articles on the convulated way we did transfers before that. But I don't believe Chelsea do incoming transfers any quicker than other teams, we just don't hear about it as much, being a United forum.No matter how many counterexamples there are from other clubs, nothing will convince the others that other clubs can and do face the same issues that United do.
Hendo? Are you a Liverpool fan calling him that? Thiago sucks and Milner is old AF. Keita is a bust.The thought of playing any of the top 3 with our current midfield gives me bad dreams.
At this point all our annual financial planning goes out the window and we need to get creative. I mean ffs Chelsea will have Kante Jorginho starting with Kovacic and Saul potentially as backup. Liverpool will have Fabinho and Hendo back in midfield with Thiago and Keita/Milner as backup. As for City let’s not even start discussing their plethora of midfield options. While our first choice midfield pair is a highly debatable one and backup options are a player who should’ve left the PL last summer and one who apparently should've never come or I don’t understand why he’s not being played much.
Either our board is in the Glazers back pockets or they’re just too naive.
The thought of even facing anyone who presses us to shit and plays in that low block gives me nightmares too, made me laugh when that Nik fella from the Utd hour podcast asked me to outline what top midfield options the others have gotThe thought of playing any of the top 3 with our current midfield gives me bad dreams.
