We have brought brilliantly while Ole has been here and he has transformed the club.
I said last year that we had the fourth best squad hence we overachieved I would think last year.
£80 million Maguire
£50 million AWB
£16 million James
£45 million Bruno
£34 million Van de Beek
£72 million Sancho
£42 million Varane
We probably over spent on AWB but at that moment we were probably desperate to shore up our defence. You can see as our squad has improved so have our deals. I’m very very happy with the above.
Our spending is much more astute and I can’t see us being ripped off any longer we just now need good fees when selling, this is more longer term as we need to stop paying fringe players so much in salary.
Is that ever going to stop though? Paying fringe players huge salary?
There is this thing that because you are at United, you deserve to be the highest paid in the world in your profile. It happens around the club all the time, no different for Mata, Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, Lee Grant and you name it. Lee Grant would be one of the best paid players in the Eredivisie especially excluding Ajax, PSV players, and he is the 4th keeper/part of staff.
It doesnt seem to be just related to how good one is, but literally for the sake of being an United player/manager, be one of the best paid in the world despite your profile.
