So what's the story with this position then?
Have the club completely gone off the idea or was there just no suitable candidate for the DoF role?
More power for Ed Woodward I suppose. And as long as he keeps on getting those lucrative sponsorship deals to fill the Glazer's pockets, his position won't come under threat. It's frustrating as a United fan, but it's another transfer window where we've been left wondering whether Woodward actually has any idea of how to improve our football team, by fully backing the clubs manager in the transfer window or his interests solely lie on the business side of things? Sadly, I think we all know the answer to that.
It's clear as day that this club needs a real football man, in a DoF role, to assist the manager on improving the team. I actually believed this summer we'd possibly see that change come in to play and just maybe, potentially see this club moving in the right direction. But yet again, we've been let down. It's hard to accept, but we're actually falling further behind all of our main rivals at this point and it's hard to be optimistic about the future of this club.
