It seems that way because you closely follow Manchester United and (probably) don't closely follow Chelsea. Chelsea have been documented to have been chasing Chilwell and Havertz for at least 2 months now.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

You all need to stop contrasting United's transfer window with Chelsea's. Chelsea are the exception to this transfer window, no other club will come close to their movement. Yes, it is frustrating but we are not the same club.
Expect it to go just as well as that transfer.
How could City possibly get a 500 Million pound transfer past FFP? Especially with a reduced income due to Covid19.
What FFP? They’ve already gotten round it.
Easy.. Pay them off which is what they have been doing.
CAS
500m ? He will be on a free.. and will sign a 200k/week contract.. He will also become the tourism ambassador for Abu Dhabi around the same time ..
Sancho's money
More likely Badiashile money!
That would just be taking the p*ss.
and we get David Brooks for 50 million
Considering that half of them are 5'9 and taller, the nature of your feeling seems even more obvious.
It's got nothing to do with Pep, he probably won't be there by the time Messi finishes his career there. It's ambition and they have loads of it whereas we don't.
Nonsense. We've spent 1.2bn since Fergie left. That's more than every club in the world bar one.
We don't lack ambition. We lack competence.
City will if they get Messi and Koulibally.
Right now United being shown up by cash strapped Spurs and even Leeds United
Now that’s just being silly, stop being jealous just because other clubs are getting shiny new toys
Jealous? Shiny new toys?
Right.....
The manager has said the squad needs major improvement to compete in league and UCL and apparently complaining about not doing enough is jealousy... right.... maybe Ole is also jealous
The same Ole who refused to use subs in our run in and Europa League semi. Right....
I fully agree. Had Woodward been competent, he'd have spent time studying the ethos and DNA of Man Utd, talking with the likes of SAF, SBC and other past players before announcing he'd fancy a go as the DoF.
He didn't and this showed the transfer window under Jose, when he wanted to buy Maguire and we turned down the request, as we'd already signed Bailly and Lindelöf under Jose. Fast forward a year and we signed Maguire for an over inflated fee. This shows that Woodward has no idea what he's doing with transfers and can't identify what player is of the correct profile and calibre for United. Otherwise we wouldn't have signed so many CBs in the past 3/4 years, yet we're still trying to improve on them.
28 isn't exactly old and is actually competent on the ball
don't do it, then they'll get Sancho to replace him
Even spurs are about to complete a signing and here we are still waiting.
It looks rational compared to us spending 50 million on bissaka
And one that will actually strengthen their first 11 as well as he is definitely better than aurier
Reading this is really depressing. What is going on with our club??!
He'll get one contract and they'll be looking to replace him. Not a long term signing but then it's Jose... no shit.
Liverpool can't be that skint surely that they wont pay £26M for Thiago. Even his injuries are worth risking at that price.
They got away on a technicality, not on the principle.
Couldn't we take the same punt? Brooks and thiago for about 65m would be good depth and quality for decent money
There is the minor detail of him wanting to join. Don’t wanna be the big doom monger, but he might prefer staying at Bayern over United, whilst at the same time wanting to join pool. I wouldn’t, but he might.
I thought Pep and Messi didnt get along?
No, you're thinking of Pep and Money
