Clearly not. I hope your post was an attempt at humour.
Whilst Sheikh Mansour will not give the tiniest of tiny shits how much merriment his spending brings United fans in the pub, what he will care about is how much his, and City's, reputation is damaged by the impression we're throwing huge sums of money around without any real care. We clearly aren't doing that either, and there's obviously a plan behind what we're doing, however the media has a bias towards depicting City as some playboys toy, spending cash without any planning or sense. As false as this impression is it's what's being fed to the masses and it reflects poorly on our owner, on our club and, more importantly to the Sheikh, by association on Abu Dhabi. He'll be wanting to do everything he can to mitigate this issue, and if that means prolonged negotiations with clubs over sensible prices, both for purchases and sales, then that's just something we, as fans, are going to have to come to terms with.
