How many people does Man U own? It seems every game we play the other team has a couple people from man U. I looked up how many people they have on their books and it is a ton. They have at least 28 first team players, at least 6 loans probably more, and they have at least 34 reserve team players. Doesnt that seem a little over board? Are there any rules about how many players you can have on your books? It seems that the quality of the leagues would go up if talent wasnt being horded like that.
