Remember that supposed 200mil transfer war chest? Conveniently mentioned just as the ST renewals are due?
Looks like they are not even going to spend a third of that
I just don't understand it to be honest
Regardless of how we percieve them...Nited are one of the biggest sports brands in the world and have revenue streams coming out of their arse
But they always seem to be scrabbling around with lowball offers only to panic buy as deadline day arrives on the horizon
Either Woodward is seriously incompetent...or he acts under instruction from the leeches above him
Either way it's hilarious
It looks like we have got it all wrong...
According to our old friend Ian Ladyman a £100m package for Di Maria is now on the table (chortle!)

Manchester United prepare £100m package to lure Real Madrid star Angel Di Maria to Old Trafford
Manchester United are willing to spend up to £100m to bring Angel Di Maria to Old Trafford
The £100m would cover both the Real Madrid winger's £50m transfer fee and his wages at United
It is expected that United would pay him about £200,000 a week
United boss Louis van Gaal has told chief executive Ed Woodward to sign Di Maria before the transfer window shuts
The home defeat to Swansea has only made Van Gaal more determined to bring new players in
Di Maria is aware of United's interest and is surprised by the huge sums being proposed
United are also working on deals to bring in Ajax's Daley Blind and Marcos Rojo of Sporting Lisbon
Manchester United are prepared to commit as much as £100million to their pursuit of Angel di Maria as the ailing Barclays Premier League club try to beef up Louis van Gaal’s squad before the end of the summer transfer window.
United manager Van Gaal is desperate for world- class additions and has told chief executive Ed Woodward to do all he can to bring winger Di Maria to the club from Real Madrid.
It is understood United have told the Argentine that, with performance-based incentives, they will pay him around £200,000 a week. Over a five-year deal that would take United’s investment to £100m when a transfer fee of around £50m is included.
