Man U fans can be quite arrogant!
He said play time was important and most people were saying he ruled out City for that reason. That left man u vs chelsea. Perhaps, just perhaps, he thought playing alongside Torres, Mata and Hulk in a team that just won the biggest competition in europe, might be more exciting than playing with wellbeck and ashley young? But no, it was definitely, 100% for the money, because no one would turn down man u otherwise.
We've been through this before. It has nothing to do with arrogance.
Obviously rather extreme sums of money were involved as Man City ruled themselves out based on that alone, and they aren't even remotely shy of spending money.
You won the Champion's League and while I think Chelsea went about it the right way, you dodged an awful lot of bullets and that isn't going to be replicated next year in all likeliness. That's not to say Man Utd/City will win it either.
Chelsea currently don't even have a manager, who knows what formation the new manager will want to use? If Abramovich is going to interfere and force him to use Hazard a certain way, then that may not work out too well. As we've seen from Real Madrid before, buying a load of good players doesn't automatically mean you stomp everyone like it's a game of FIFA.
I can't say for certain, but it's my opinion, and the opinion of a lot of non-Man Utd fans that the main factor has been money. That doesn't mean you should complain, or even care, but how the whole thing has played out points to money as a motive on top of the usual things like CL football, etc.
Hulk doesn't play for you yet.
It's interesting that you mentioned Welbeck and Young, the latter of which is actually pretty good, and not Rooney, Nani, Valencia, Vidic, etc.
