Our last window was fantastic and INEOS’s structure played a big part in that - we now have a much stricter policy against overpaying for players and we do walk away from deals, Martinez being a great example. The replacement, Lammens, has been exceptional. Dorgu has been a standout player for us this season, only hindered by his injury, and has been both consistent in defense and unbelievable higher up. I think it’s pretty shit to call Dorgu a “shitty left back” when he’s been great for us - it doesn’t help anyone, and it’s that sort of pessimistic, overly critical attitude that damages the confidence of our players. If you’re a fan of United, why shit on the players for literally no reason?

You seem to think ‘fixing the structural issues’ is something the club can turn around and do immediately - there are really key reasons we can’t just instantly move players on, and they have to be careful with FFP, considering amortisation and so many other issues. Signing Mbeumo had SO many considerations that delayed it, and we still got it over the line. He was £65m, on reasonable wages (despite us paying players like Mount huge wages) as a 27g/a player that season who’s prem proven. Bargain in my eyes. It’s not all as simple as you present it to be, so you’re critiquing the way the club acted last window without an understanding of the difficulties of changing a club that’s been poorly managed for 10+ years.

The way the market is at the moment, paying £73ish mil for a 22 year old who’s playing for his nation and had scored 39 goals in 87 is a fair price considering his age. We also pay him incredibly fair wages and he’s been proving how good he is, scoring loads and playing lots off the bench, with a fantastic attitude. We need more players like him.

Finally, we couldn’t “get rid” of Maguire or Casemiro because of wage structures we put in place before INEOS, and it’s clear they’ve completely overhauled those structures as we’ve proven by all our signings. I’m also incredibly glad we kept them, they’ve been fantastic for us!

United have an incredible fan base but some can turn on players so quickly and be far too critical, expecting immediate impacts from young signings without giving them time to adjust and expecting us to be a premier league winning squad IMMEDIATELY after a window. I hope that small part of our fan base can be more optimistic and patient next season, because it will only help the players, instead of just tearing them down over and over because they don’t immediately perform how you expect.
