Not for the lack of trying.... You guys were linked with just about every player under the sun. I suspect lack of CL and more importantly Ole as manager probably hurt your attempts to sign the big names you wanted.. Its why you have gone young & English. Despite all the money and huge fan base in Asia & the US... United simply aren't as important as they used to be. Its cultural.... Its why teams go to old trafford with no fear, good teams fancy their chances of winning. All the money and fans in China aint changing the fact players no longer see United as the best

This. It happened to us when we had the likes of Woy in charge and no CL football.

Don't think that's ever been the case, tbh. Certainly continental players anyway.

It is unfortunate you let tabloids lead you around by the nose.

We were not interested in 99% of the names we were linked to and the ones we wanted, we got.

Happy with our business so far and the youth we have got.

Any news on Dybala?

Linked with, to be fair to the club its not them that links these players, its the media, but to be fair fans fall for even the most ridiculous of rumours.

Going by what ive seen we have attempted to sign Dybala, Eriksen and Longstaff..

Dybala and Eriksen have eyes elsewhere and Newcastle priced us out of deal for Longstaff, im not too sure we really were interested in many more.

I think AWB and Maguire will improve you significantly in defence but actually think you may be weaker than last season offensively.

You can mock Lukaku for his renewal play but he did provide goals and those goals are now gone for the squad.

We’ve not strengthened either though so interesting season ahead.

Sometimes teams need to take a step back to move forward.

I am more interested in performances and tactics this season. It will take a couple of seasons for us to challenge again.

Some of our fans need to calm down

It's not it for Woodward, he helped the Glazers get in , now he's absolutely following the game plan

I think you need to appreciate that Ole will most likely try to work with most of the players before he decides they can't work in his system.

It's what Pep and Poch did.

Expect a much bigger clear out next year.

When Ole came in the general consensus was that we were a club in disarray and it would take a few seasons the build a team capable of challenging for things again. Fast forward one proper transfer window and the toys are already being thrown

Agree with that. It was the same with Benteke for us when Klopp came in. Lost his goals but he just didn’t suit the system so had to go. We built from there.

These people would genuinely rather we'd have thrown silly money at someone like Neymar/Bale/Griezmann today, whatever it took to get him to agree to no CL football. Then in another year or 2 when we've got nowhere and players are still wanting to leave, saying we've got no identity and need to go back to the United way.

we were a team that was dissatisfied with an fa cup final and second place finish under jose. one year later we are now looking like 6th would be a dream finish.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
no we were a club in turmoil, 11 or 12 points below 5th with no hope of closing the gap
