90% of teams play better football than us
I really don't like it. Even if we win a title, it won't feel like an achievement that was built in Manchester.
Win a title? Haha.
We'd be extremely lucky if we finish 4th.

Forgetting we are promoting Wilson though...
I image the people complain about United turning into just another big team,haven't even heard of James Wilson. On the youth side there's being big positives so this season(Tyler Blackett being the biggest positive but also recently Pereira and Wilson got given game time last week)Forgetting we are promoting Wilson though...
Yeah, people forget why we're in this position. Last season it was clear the squad needed a massive overhaul - everyone mentioned 5-7 players and now that we've gone out and done it - there's still people complaining.Needs must. We need to get back to the top or the bubble bursts. SAF could do it without the investment but was a one off. He and the board obviously felt best bet was to save up and hand war chest to new manager. May have been better to maintain investment but we are where we are.
Promoting him where, even one of the main 3 strikers need to be dropped, do you honestly think we will be giving him a chance?
This post is NOT about Welbeck!!!!All this moaning over Welbeck is rather pointless. We've sold academy players before, Wes Brown, O'shea, Phil Neville and Butt likely meant as much if not more for the club.
Welbeck got a proper chance in fairness. No complaints.

....erm, yes?
That may have something to do with him being a donkey in the box, don't you think?Are you serious, we played him on the wing most of the time.
Tonight we are selling Danny Welbeck to Arsenal while we spend a huge chunk of that transfer fee on a player who spent much of last season injured and unless we pay another huge chunk of money will not be our player thereafter.
This to me signifies the dawn of a new era of Real Madrid esq dealings at Manchester Utd. I was hoping LVG would have been a superb tactician and man manager who could life our players with a few additions to be a top 4 team again, but after a tough start it seems he too has simultaneously hit the panic button with Ed Woodward and we are now spending Monopoly money in the hope it does not bite us on the bum and we come 5th or worse again.
We were ripped of by Real Madrid on the fee of 60m for a player worth circa 40m.
We sanctioned the purchase of a mop for 27m and a talented Chelsea off cast who could now be a bench warmer here for 37m.
What has happened to the soul of the club Fergie built, not to mention the scouting network. We dont panic buy we invest (as Arsenal have done yet again tonight).
Wenger like him or hate him is from the SAF school of thought, he would not panic buy and has never finished outside the top 4. We do it once and all of a sudden were playing a real life version of the PC game of football manager in the boardroom.
LVG for me (yes even now) was the wrong man for the job, he is too old and clearly with his signings has short term ambitions for his CV and Utd. We sadly in 3-4 years will pay for transfer windows gambles like this especially if were outside the top 4.
How I miss what Fergie could achieve with British players with heart who cared for Man Utd rather than
the types on huge money and if the truth were told would rather be somewhere else
That may have something to do with him being a donkey in the box, don't you think?
Oh please, I remain to be convinced on that front. Maybe we'll play him as a wing back?
This over sentimentalised whining is boring me now. Welbeck wanted out before today. The rumours came out last week. In fact it's a fair bet it's one of the reasons we went in for Falcao. Not to mention everyone's been slagging the shit out of Tom Cleverley without caring about how we treat our academy prospects. But everyone loves Danny - for the right reasons - so they're retrofitting some bullshit notion of betrayal to give their moaning more poignance. Lets not forget the person this will benefit the most will be Wilson, who's now promoted instantly to our 3rd choice No 9.
Welbeck was given a very fair crack of the whip, was already down the pecking order and wanted out himself. What would you rather? We build the team around him to fulfil some kind of romantic obligation? We've still got Blackett, Januzaj, Wilson, Perierra, Keane, Lingard and LVG has a long and illustrious reputation for having faith in youth. Stop it folks..
If Danny Welbeck was content to play out wide/be a squad player then he'd still be here.
He wants to start up front and, youth product or not, that's simply not going to happen when there's two much better players at the club.
We've (seemingly) replaced him with one of the best players in the world and added a highly regarded youth player to the first team squad in place of Hernandez. We're doing just fine.
fergie damaged the soul of the club? are you serious mate?Fergie damaged the soul of the club by keeping players at this club who were clearly not good enough and by changing our playing style to one of the worst in the EPL. His leniency in his latter years is to blame for the way we're having to spend now.
So, if RVP does have a knee operation, that leaves us with Rooney, Falcao and Wilson for a while. You think Rooney and Falcao play every game, the full 90 minutes?
Erm no, he's no more of a donkey than Rooney (who seems to dictate where he can play), Give him a fair chance in his proper position and he will do well, he has all the attributes and talent. Just see at Arsenal.
Arsenal have more of a British core than us at the moment, ffs. And most of those are waiting to be pushed out of the club. I'm not sure what our identity is anymore.
So Falcao will be warming the bench I presume or will RVP or Rooney?
It pretty much left with Sir Alex. It would have left long before that, had we not been so lucky to have him for so long.Arsenal have more of a British core than us at the moment, ffs. And most of those are waiting to be pushed out of the club. I'm not sure what our identity is anymore.
Think I'm going to go support Arsenal, who's with me?
