they turned on him last season when we had the wobble near the end of the season after winning the Carabao cup. They turned on him again when he signed Mount (nothing player they said) and again when he signed Hojlund (too young, too inexperienced, too expensive). Then even more turned after the pre-season defeats, the Wolves performance, the spurs defeat, the Forest match (we conceded two goals... two! it's an outrage)
Numerous United fans are happy to sack a manager after one game. I even saw them saying losing 7-0 to Liverpool should have seen him sacked the next day.
I'll caveat this post by saying I do not mind constructive criticism of the manager or any player, but too often it's short-term, knee-jerk nonsense with little thought put into it.
Shame that's a shite source, he looks fantastic for his age.
My point was that, as a supporter you’re no more a part of man Utd than people who buy a picture of prince andrew are part of the royal family.
You might feel that your emotional investment gives you some say in the business but you don’t get a say without being part of the ownership.
There are other models of ownership where fans do have a financial stake but Barca are making them look a bit grim atm.
or the take-over.
Its a load of rubbish, we are broke. We can't afford Amarbat loan fee but we are buying someone from Benfica whose whole strategy is to buy at tin prices and sell for gold.
This clickbait tweets are just that.
We need a LB, CM,CB and striker ( no MG) and out of the 4 with 24 hrs to go ,we may scrap an LB over the line but the rest isn't happening.
I doubt city are spending another 80 million plus on a defender next summer. United may actually have a good chance of getting him. Agreed he does seem to be a great talent, has all the attributes to be a top level player.
Not sure but benfica are a selling club. Might just be to protect his value.
Well if you're going to reply to posts that are 12hrs old and completely out of date due to new information, maybe take that into account first?
Completely. Get Bruno in contact with him.
I dont think i have anything to say in the business part.
I think i am a part of Manchester United.
He’s a midfielder

What you said was “We, Manchester United, makes that money”.
My point was that you, as a Man Utd supporter, pay in a teeny tiny infinitesimally little part of that money (but only if you go to games, buy merchandise, subscribe to services etc.) in your role as a punter, without any say or investment stake in the business.
Whereas they, the Glazers and shareholders many and various, make the money.
There’s a big difference between you (or the royal ‘we’ as you put it) making [earning] money and you spending [giving] money to someone else . . in this case the Glazers et al who actually own the lucrative business that is Man Utd.
Anyhow, no point in chewing at this but thanks and a big thumbs up, once again, to you for bringing memories of the funkiest possible bass back into my head.
Yeah, no point on going back and forth, i agree.
I feel that Manchester United, that i am a part of, makes that money for glazers and they are using Manchester United, that i am a part of, as a cash cow. You feel different. It dont matter really, as you say, we means nothing to them. But we can affect them imo.
Bootsy Baba, we came to funk withchu.
Yes it’s the clubs money buying the clubs players? I’m happy with the amount of money the club has spent on players
I’m not happy with the actual players bought
my original point is funds have been made available to buy players , that can not be argued against
Glaziers I want out for who they appoint to look after that money, investment in facilities etc…but they have allowed us to spend huge amount in the transfer market
If you think money is the reason for the mess we are in you have a very small mind
It’s mismanagement of that money which is the problem
Perhaps the owners could put their own money in then.
You keep saying i think like a child and have a small mind. Why do you do that? It is not very nice, and brings nothing to the discussion.
I think the glazers are the biggest reason for the mess we are in, and when they leave i am sure it will show.
Glazers sanctioning Brazilian Wonderkid Dividendinho!
Easily, theyve put in place the people who have hired the managers weve had, who have bought the players weve got, and allowed all of this to happen.
Its easy to blame a manager, but with a proper structure, we would not be wasting money, indulging certain people, and thus causing issues in terms of moving on.
We have no structure in place, and its been allowed for 10 years. We have no succession plan in place if a certain manager doesnt work out. To go from Fergie > Moyes > LVG > Jose > Ole > ETH.
There is no planning at all in terms of that.
The buck stops with Glazers and I agree with you. Theyve allowed the club to become like this because they dont ultimately care if we challenge or not. Getting CL football is more important as is getting in sponsors and such.
This is pretty demoralizing. "There had been expectation". I expect that I'll win the lottery, so will go out and buy that second in-ground pool
So... nothing?
Can anyone clear up why we cant just offer an obligation to buy next season and use next years funds to get him in?
Or an obligation to buy is accounted in the same year of loaning?
By all means what reports suggest is we wanted this move to be permanent even if we don’t have the funds rn.

Right
but have we spent money in the market, more than almost everyone ? Which was my point
You’re asking them for more money, I’m saying that won’t change anything
So it would not change anything that we could buy a midfielder and a forward f.ex now? It would not change anything that instead of going into glazers pockets the money goes to Manchester United? Then we disagree.
And i still wonder why you put in the think like a child and small mind stuff. I dont know if "right" was the response to that?
Just a Casemiro injury or suspension away from a serious problem.
The lack of squad depth and planning is a real worry.

It gets worse.
Well you defended the Glazers whilst replying to this conversation
You've since attempted to turn this into a conversation around whether the Glazers have spent enough. This isn't really the point, not to mention that to suggest they have is to ignore the fact that they've certainly spent very little on infrastructure or the training facilities, and we're lagging well behind other clubs in that regard.
The failings of the club, and the fact that we may well struggle to even maintain our position this season, is on the Glazers and their mismanagement of the club from top to bottom. They're responsible for employing everyone who's worked on transfers in recent years.To suggest they bear no responsibility is bizarre.
It is reading as though there is a month left of the transfer window not just over 24 hrs.
This guy is feckin useless isn't he?
Reguilon is awful
I remember it was Reguilon or Telles at some point in the past, and folks here wanted him 
cruel twist of fate
cruel twist of fateI would rather have Reguilon if he was cheaper and lets us scrounge up the extra pennies to get the loan + buy obligation deal for Amrabat done. Or for that matter just play Alvarez if it meant getting Amrabat.
