Nobody is saying we don't spend.
What people take issue with is that we generate the money we spend from commercial ventures. City, PSG and Chelsea don't.
You see the difference in how we go about player recruitment. We spend big on big players who we need to replace poor players in important positions all over the pitch. If we get it wrong we have to live with that player.
City spend big on players just because they can, where they often don't need them, and they already have good players in the same positions. Look how many fullbacks and attacking midfielders they have bought recently. If one doesn't work out so what, they buy another in the next window. We can't do that.
First bit in bold - in an ideal world we would be winning the moral cup every year but football is cyclical - united played a blinder with the formation of the Premier league and we completely dominated it but at the same time the likes of City, Liverpool, cockney teams, Newcastle etc had and still have massive support. We are just an ordinary team from Newton heath that did it right for a long time. That doesn't give us the right to turn our noses up at the clubs around us, who are identical at the core.
It genuinely puzzles me to hear united fans moan about the oil clubs spending a little bit less than ourselves. We have spent an outrageous amount of money for a good 20 years now.
Ac Milan are the biggest team in Italy in my opinion but they are a shadow of what they once where. I'd love to see them win serie A.
For the second bolded part...
Can you give an example of them doing that and showing that we can't?
We just spent £73 million on sancho which is more than city have paid for any player in their history.
Maguire, Lukaku, pogba (literally broke the world transfer fee) again all more than city have spent on a single player. They spent alot on de bruyne and countless other nut so have we. Awb, Fred, martial, vdb weren't exactly peanuts.
United have the money. It can be seen in our wage bill, specifically the gks, alone. It can be seen in us signing who we have over the past 5 years.
