Transfer Rumours Let's ignore the big ****ing elephant and blame the latest manager, again. Are we nearly there yet?

He will hardly get any game time - more like a glorified sub for most of this season, and that's if they even manage to register him with La Liga.

 

My take on players like Rashford, etc, is that we are a self defeating club. We have recently become a club that witch hunts our own players publicly to the point of becoming ostracized which effectively kills their resell value. This happens with every team, mind you. But the rate at which we have done this in recent years demonstrates a fundamental flaw in our operational strategy.

Take this statement: Ruben Amorim says rival clubs might be in for a "shock" if they think they can sign Manchester United's unwanted players on the cheap this summer.

We don’t even have any leverage to demand meaningful transfer for our players because we have misused them, mismanaged them (stupid salaries, holding on to them for too long), and misread the transfer market thinking we will command higher price as others do to us.

Back on Rashford; love him, hate him, he was a massive loss for us last season because he didn’t “somehow” fit into a system and we squarely blamed him for it. Yet the so-called system delivered squat without him in it while his salary became a problem for Villa who would have been happy to have him.

Overall, we fkin stink operationally. While I hope this is a phasing out period, I am not certain that simply shifting out the parts will solve the structural problem.
