I don't know about 'better' but we're certainly more patient, 6 years... Let me repeat that SIX YEARS!! without a single challenge.. RM fans would have car bombed some-one by now im sure
.. I think United would've been great for De Ligt. You learn to deal with the immense pressure of playing at the absolute highest level (because results or not, United's base still expect titles) while having a very good chance to play regular first team football. Of course he's not playing along the likes of Rio and Vidic, but I'm sure United have plenty of staff to provide more than enough guidance for a youngster like De Ligt. But mostly, just imagine if De Ligt is the catalyst of United's resurrection and enjoys a 10 year United career ending back at the top. That's fecking glorious isn't it? I'm a bit biased since, I dislike both Barcelona and Real and don't see the appeal of the Serie A at all, but to me United would've been an amazing choice. So would, dare I say it, Liverpool. Playing alongside Van Dijk would also benefit our country greatly of course.
This is how things get worse. Arrogance. Is United a massive club? Absolutely. Does that entitle United to success? Not at all.
Have City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal made a Hazard signing?
Undeniable fact in your opinion ....
City and Liverpool don’t need to sign anyone yet City have already bought a better player than we have this season.
What WC player has Spurs signed?
Ndombele, wait and see.
Let me correct myself.
Not sure where you got that from? Who said this?
What stops players from coming is the continued lack of direction with respect to the club’s vision.
He's not world class though.
I feel regardless of any player we attempt to sign nowadays we are always going to be paying grossly inflated transfer fees and wages for players that their clubs would only look for from us. From signings like Daniel James or if we tried to sign Neymar we are THE club everyone knows is in a position of desperation and we are taken advantage of for it. It makes every signing we try to make that much more difficult because clubs know we will pay what no other will and not even to consider player demands when they compare with what is the average wage at the club and a huge part of this problem must lie with the Sanchez deal.
That's probably why we can't seem to get rid of Darmian.
You're totally right about that! Except for the fact that SAF's solid years were our only wager in the past. It is highly unlikely that a player would want to come to United now. We don't seem to have a structure in place and I think this season will be the one to show it all. With all the fixtures cramped up and with literally no hope from the players on field. We're going to struggle big time. I'm not saying we're going to be the only ones to struggle but we'll struggle a lot more than other teams with the squad depth being very scary and our first team players getting belted for 6 goals in a match. If I were Sancho or Dembele, I rather play at Dortmund where they love me or sit on the bench at a huge club like Barca and play when called upon. Let's be realistic, Dembele will get his chance if he stays at Barca. We're in deep trouble and the fixtures through from when we play PSG in Paris to Everton in the league seems like a difficult round of fixtures and we will lose Ole when they are done. I hate the owners and Ed Woodward so so much. They've ruined our club and we can no more hope for anything anymore. So much has to change in the next couple of years or we're doomed. I have a bad feeling we'll lose everything in the next couple of years unless a DoF is appointed and he's willing to go the distance to stand up in front of the board and ask for what the managers want because if not, we'll keep changing managers and play rubbish football for the foreseeable future.
