Sanchez, Fred, Maguire since 2018 Jan. How it worked is for different thread, at least should have lost Sanchez to them.Football is a short lived business. Milan can't attract the best players anymore, just like you, and it has nothing to do with the league. Doesn't mean you can't get back to the top in people's perceptions very quickly, like Liverpool and partly Inter this season proved. But right now? I think there are at least seven clubs in the world a player would prefer to you as his ultimate career station (Barca, Madrid, Bayern, Liverpool, City, Juventus, PSG). If one of those clubs really wants a player and has a free position for him, not a chance ypu'd beat them to his sigming. And as a young, developing player, there are also like a dozen clubs with better reputation than you - like Haaland just proved.
Another thing is, for most clubs out there you can identify a strategy. You know the perspective. Exemplarily Madrid, which has a world class talent in almost every position. But United.. there doesn't seem to be an overarching idea except from spending fortunes for overhyped players at the worst possible moments.
Haaland proved nothing, just like any 1 transfer doesn't prove anything. All it did was player wanted to move to Bundesliga before moving to bigger club which is better for his development.
