The problems at Man U are not just about LVG.
MAN Us post Fergie succession plans were poor. Arsenal take note.
Man U need to move with the times and get a Director of Football. One guy can't do it all.
Man U need to to stop trying to lure marque signings just because you are Man U. Neymar to Old Trafford?!? Why would he leave the best team with arguably the best ever attacking frontline and play in Europa league alongside the likes of Depay, Rooney and Martial. You can throw crazy money at him (eg. £700k a week after tax) he still won't budge. Man U might be the biggest brand but Barcelona are a suprior team. Bar De Gea no Man U players would get into Barce team. Shaw and Smalling might be fringe squad players.
Man U and entitled fans need to be less snobby and look at lower and non League players. Smalling doesn't count as he came via Fulham. Shaw got promoted via Soton. Dele Alli could have been yours for £5m but an MK Dons player probably wasn't a sexy enough signing. Did you see Allis wonder goal v Palace? That could have been yours. More entertainment in those 3 secs than Man U has all season.
Sir Bobby is a legend but he has far too much sway. Romanticism. He won't accept Mourinho?!
Man U rely on its heritage, history and brand too much and there is evidence this is increasingly less important to recruitment. This will prove correct if Pep G joins City as expected. He's more likely to join Arsenal than Man U. Players care about the future which is what PSG and City look like. Modern innovative. Man U look dated and old fashioned. Remember, PSG as they are were founded in just 1970. They are getting better talent than Man U. Man U might even happily take their rejects eg Cavani. A talented young player from Brazil probably hasn't got a clue who George Best was. Heck, even Luke Shaw hadn't heard of Tony Adams.
