Tbh the media and some fans should not act like the club finally did something right. It's bs imo. They've been right all summer. FDJ chose not to come after holding out for most of the summer. We had always planned to get a midfielder, and one of considerable quality.
We still got a Cb, a good left back and another midfielder in Eriksen. We are also and have also been in the market for a forward. Nothing in our plans on the position we wanted to sign changed, yet Murtough and Arnold (both new in the lead positions) got packaged with Woodward. We still have 12 days in the window, a lot of time, yet where other clubs would have only been flamed at the end of the window, United got put under needless pressure from the start of August. The hysteria in relation to transfers was weird, it was clearly in the plan to get this position. Barcelona illegal practices, not incompetence from us, led to the delay.
