Fullbacks for the summer

If the issues with getting fullbacks for the last 3 seasons were due to market value, financial constraint or lack of quality options, then it really is on Mourinho and his scouting teams. It should be a sackable offence if we are not top 3 by Christmas. Such is a sad indication of how the club is run post SAF where we are reactive than proactive.

Its incredibly upsetting with many quality players who would have improve us massively going to our rivals where we stunk our club up with flops, or overpriced players once they proved their worth on a bigger stage.
 
I got shit for complaining during the summer.
Can't believe we've not resolved this. Our first choice fullbacks are marginal improvements on what we are seeing out there, especially in attack.
 
Pure lack of ambition - the fact we're going into the new season with Young and Valencia as our starting full backs. Not sure whose the more culpable out of Mourinho and Woodward.
 
It’s embarrassing for a club like United to end up like this. Our fullbacks are totally worthless. Sell asap. Buy a new LB is a must.
 
I find it quite shambolic that we aren't going to sign a LB - I mean, are you seriously telling me our scouts couldn't find nobody on the continent for £20-30mil? It doesn't even need to be a WC signing, just someone that's competent and can do the basics right.
 
Tierney or Telles would cost around 40m (or less).

If we are going to play 352, Sessegnon could make a difference in our team.
 
Since we have ignored the issue I was hoping we'll keep Mitchell and TFM. Instead it seems we're loaning them too
 
£20m on some kid who's played less than 10 first team games, and who's also injured. Great work guys. Really shows how far behind City we've fallen when they can spend £100m on two full backs and we can't even get one proven, quality full back in.
 
To think some people ripped me a new one for saying Shaw is goner a year ago. This is not an "i told you so" post. Simply strange that some didn't recognize the deepening issue, especially when we've know how limited Valencia has been.
 
That went well, at least Young can play 50 games easy, our manager said.
 
A proper disgrace we didn't sign a LB. When Jose said Young would play 50 games back in Feb, we thought he was wumming.
