We lost Mourinho, Herrera, Lukaku, Sanchez & Fellaini and we are only 2 difference points between them right now. Just imagine where they would be if they lose Eriksen, Toby & Vertonghen for free with their financial resource less than us.
Lose Pogba? Such a lame comparison. Sure if there is a club willing to pay enough money then we can use the money to find replacement, otherwise we can still keep him another year. Unlike Spurs who are about to lose 3 of their main XI players for free, we still get cash that we can use to sign a replacement for one of our main XI player.
If Ole remains? We are in a thread of United's next manager. Ole remains as our manager in this thread & discussion is out of discussion.
What about some credit on Pochettino? They are run like a proper side to achieve top 4 because they have top manager who can build a team with less financial resource. They didn't even sign a new player in 17/18 summer window but lost Dembele. If we don't make a single signing in one summer window, our fans would have gone crazy towards the board. Before Poch came in, they struggled to even achieve the CL spot. And now they are in the verge of losing 3 of their main XI players for free.
You are using so many excuses but fail to get the point of discussion right.
You fail to provide me solid evidence to tell me that leaving Spurs to join United is a step down here. Overall you are just talking about "the past" 5 years achievement, means nothing and ironically in those years we actually won more trophies than them. Financial resource they can't compete with us, same goes with reputation, & they are about to lose some of their main XI players for free.
