That is my point too. They probably dont want the club to spend money anymore because lack of UCL. They want their profit margin/ dividend to remain untouched. Seling players without replacement, buying 10m rated players are indicative of that. FDJ interest was there because somebody probably told them that FDJ can help bring back UCL football.The owners have never invested anything into the club. They have only taken money from the club, the only owners in the Premier League to do so.
No one should ever forget that we have just paid out dividends to our owners after the worst PL era season ever, and now struggle to sign players due to both incompetence appointed by the Glazers, and lack of funds because of the Glazers.
Our owners are a toxic disaster that must be removed from ownership the sooner the better.

My point is, if they wanted to do this why didn't they instruct the club to go for the best free agents. We could've signed Tolisso before he went to Lyon for free.That is my point too.

No one, not even bitter rivals think that we have done enough in the summer. We had 8 exits, 3 in of which 2 are arguably first teamers.The first transfer window since taking on the job is not even over, he's hired the best available manager in world football and made three good signings, and after one defeat fans are calling for the DoF to be fired.

3 good signings?The first transfer window since taking on the job is not even over, he's hired the best available manager in world football and made three good signings, and after one defeat fans are calling for the DoF to be fired. You are a bunch of fecking clowns, you really are.
Yeah he's done a fantastic job, hasn't he?

You are not wrong in that dispassionate assessment. United fans would do well to listen. Thank you for injecting some sense into proceedings. Things will be a knee jerk nightmare in here for a while. I am not happy about the way things have gone thus far, but it is true what you say, he has got the best manager available, we have made three decent signings, and the window is not over. It's fair to say that the window currently falls short of expectations and requirements, but a lot of the reactions on here are simply kids losing their shit.The first transfer window since taking on the job is not even over, he's hired the best available manager in world football and made three good signings, and after one defeat fans are calling for the DoF to be fired.

I haven’t been around here long enough to know quite whether you are just fishing for bites or you’re being genuine. Regardless, to suggest we’ve made 3 good signings when, as others have already stated.. one is for all intensive purposes a backup left back very much for the future, the second being the shortest centre back in the league who from everything I’ve seen of him would suggest playing at CDM in this league would better suit him and the third, the third already having premier league experience and in my opinion, was the best player on the pitch Saturday once he moved in to midfield, the only question mark against him would be just how much he can play during an entire season.The first transfer window since taking on the job is not even over, he's hired the best available manager in world football and made three good signings, and after one defeat fans are calling for the DoF to be fired.

The issues being pointed out in here have been pointed out for months (if not years) and still haven't been addressed. It's not "knee jerk" by any means.You are not wrong in that dispassionate assessment. United fans would do well to listen. Thank you for injecting some sense into proceedings.

September 1st.How long before the articles show up about how United/Murtough have learned painful lessons about recruitment this summer and these mistakes won't be repeated as the whole recruitment process will be overhauled.....
Can Martinez be played as defensive midfielder? Anything would be better than trying to play Mctominay or Fred in that role. Looks like yet another season that no natural defensive midfielder will be signed under various managers and that's on the clueless business men in control of transfers.We signed a backup LB from Feyenoord, a free agent with a pacemaker and a 5ft9 CB from Ajax. Apart from Martinez the rest wouldn't look out of place at an EPL mid table club.

We should have signed at least 1 CM apart from De Jong. Instead we spent 2 months pursuing Fabreg erm De Jong only to possibly end up with one hell of an egg on our face.Can Martinez be played as defensive midfielder?

It has nothing to do with the defeat. And you know that.The first transfer window since taking on the job is not even over, he's hired the best available manager in world football and made three good signings, and after one defeat fans are calling for the DoF to be fired.

You are taking it out of context. It wasnt the defeat alone, it was a culmination of factors. Actually I think fans would have make their peace if we stick to our guns and say we will develop our own since we can't get our primary targets. Fergie used to say no value in the market all the time. Fans will groan for a while but when the season starts all focus will be on the football and nothing else.The first transfer window since taking on the job is not even over, he's hired the best available manager in world football and made three good signings, and after one defeat fans are calling for the DoF to be fired.

You couldn't stop shitting on Rangnick when he came in the door and now United fans are clowns because they're not seeing a clear plan in place. Yes Murtough hired likely the best man for the job - if you care to add context United fans had already shown almost unanimous support for ETH before he even got interviewed, with reports of the board taking more to Pochettino. The guy you loved to shit on was pretty accurate in his assessment and with that in mind, knowing this is a World Cup year with a shorter time than usual to prepare a team for the season, we really needed to be on it. We really haven't been. The three signings may come good, but they are far from certain and we obviously spent huge on Martinez. But major positions haven't been addressed. Then when Arnautović is linked fans rightly think back to Ighalo, Cavani, and the other stop gaps that indicated there was no long-term plan in place. Same with Rabiot, although a better player and much younger, Juve can't wait to shift him and there we are looking for scraps.The first transfer window since taking on the job is not even over, he's hired the best available manager in world football and made three good signings, and after one defeat fans are calling for the DoF to be fired.

And if these are players the manager has asked for, then what?I wonder what it will take to start boycotting games, I feel that is the only way to show discontent.
We have been sold loads of promises in the last few years, Arnold talking about backing the manager, end up with washed signings with attitude problems.
We have been progressively getting worse.
I actually am not looking forward to this season at all considering how well every other club is operating.
Even Chelsea, with a new ownership have decided to back the manager.
It is clear they are not what the manager has asked for. I guess you clearly don't know how this works?And if these are players the manager has asked for, then what?
To get a player they have to want to come you understand this, i could as manager make a list of players i want to sign it doesn't actually mean anything unless we can sign them United are not a club that players around the world are looking at thinking this is an attractive club to come to, we almost have delusions of grandeur from the board level to the fans also in that we're Man United we can sign anybody well we cannot.It is clear they are not what the manager has asked for. I guess you clearly don't know how this works?
Ten Hag appointed in May, wanted players and those names were given.
Do you actually think, Ten Hag has told Manutd board in August what the players he wants are?
The board have failed him really badly, like they did with LVG, Jose and Ole. Nothing will change under the Glazers.

Agree.Remember in January when Rangnick wanted reinforcements and the club wouldnt spend any money? The line they spouted was "the money was being earmarked for the Summer". What a load of bollocks. I think we're skint personally.
