Friendly so no one cares but for a team supposedly in with a chance when it matters we’ve got some right dross in this squad.

Kobbie Mainoo now on, and Gallagher off, is like a 500% upgrade.

Weirdly Bellingham has also gone off to level it out again!

We just need Henderson on to close out the defeat really.

Haven't Man Utd had to operate under the financial constraints of having their club leveraged in a purchase they didn't want? My, possibly incorrect, understanding is that not only do they operate within their means they are also paying off debts their owners saddled them with. The fact that they can still spend plenty is because they are footballing behemoth and the fact they've wasted most of it is kind of funny really.

Also, don't Liverpool operate within their means?

United clearly don't operate "within their means" if huge chunks of revenue are diverted to pay off the mountain of debt instead of paying off a secured asset like a new stadium. The Glazers acted beyond their means when they first bought the club, took a huge risk and gambled that the good times would last forever or at least long after Fergie retired, but that didn't happen and as a result the combination of spending like a massive club + having a mountain of debt + relative lack of success = the proverbial has finally hit the fan.

You're right about Liverpool but that's only been the case since FFS or whatever they're called took over. Under Hicks and Gillet they were a financial mess.

So I stand by my statement: since ENIC took over at spurs no-one else has tried to play fair and square apart from us. And Arsenal, ironically.

I'm wracking my brains but every team I look at has either openly cheated or had periods of intense financial difficulty in that time. Arsenal had the latter but that was due to paying off an secured asset (the Emirates) rather than the unsecured debt other clubs have been riddled by.
