“American owners tend to be more focussed on the bottom line.”

Could just be the right answer.

I agree completely, they are crying out for a DOF and need to commit to a five year plan, i have said before that all this talk of bringing in 6 or 7 players for the starting 11 is bollocks, you can not build team like this, I suspect they will spend big but not in the right areas.

They could raise maybe £250 million ( If they are very lucky ) by selling Pogba, Lukaku and DeGea.
If i was them I would put Romeo in goal so they could use this £250 million to buy Ban Wissaka, Chillwell as full backs, I'd go for someone like Tielemans in midfield and they could do a lot worse than picking up Vardy to replace Lukaku.

£250m for Pogba, Lukaku and de Gea?
No chance.

Their best full back is Shaw and i think he's crocked at the mo'. This means Leroy, Sterling and Bernard will be up against Young (lost all pace) and Darlot (never a full back). The game will be won down the wings.

The MEN wading in.... Not one starting player getting more than 1/10 with a few getting 0.

Their press pass being pulled as I type....

I do wonder if the reason they have stuck with that awful defence is because kids rarely ask for a replica shirt with the name of a centre back on it. As fans, we all look at things from a football perspective. American owners tend to be more focussed on the bottom line.

They signed Limpalot, Bailly & that fullback geezer as well as Luke Shaw, plus the geezers they signed prior to that like that shit Argentinian bloke & Blind.

Imo they have tried & failed to improve defence, like they have in every other area.

No chance.

Probably get about £80mil each for Pogba and De Gea but why anyone would consider buying Lukaku for anything north of £30mil is beyond me

By the time Jones and Smalling finish their contracts they will have been there 10 years. Look no further as to why they are not doing very well. Also, forget Sanchez, Pogba etc these type short time signings started under Ferguson and Moyes eg buying Van Persie and being ticked up by Rooney and his camp for new deals(twice)

I think they could do worse than bin that pink shirt. Dont even look like Manchester United.
