now thats sorted lets now get on with transfers, shame cant get rid of players easily when on big contracts such as Rashford / Sancho, Rashford sums up whats wrong at the club, with its culture and mentality overpaid not good enough

To be fair, i don't even think we need the squad overhaul discussed. Probably 2 defenders are a must and beyond that given the discussed monetary constraints we can probably get through next season. With a settled/established back 4 that can be relied upon and take some pressure off the midfield, we probably have enough in midfield/upfront to be challenging for Top 4.
I'm surprised we let Brandon Williams go. Shocking we couldn't even sell him!

We still need a proper right winger, I think Antony has gone past the point where we can expect him to come good, and not sure Diallo is ready to be relied upon yet, as promising as he looks

Yeah 14 different back 4 combo's is what was seriously wrong.
Hopefully Malacia is fit and back next season which would be a free signing in a way. We need a LCB and RCB plus striker at the bare minimum.

I would be surprised if we spend huge amounts this summer purely because they will certainly still have big question marks over EtH and the state of our squad means that we need stability more than we need flair at this point. We need a solid defence where at least 3 of the 4 defenders are there pretty much every week. We need to replace Casemiro and we probably need a new RW. Outside of that I think expectations for next season will be pretty basic. Compete for top 4 and actually develop into a side that looks like it has a clue.
If the club are going to take away the control he had over transfers and move to a model where you're not having to rip things up and start again whenever you change manager then there shouldn't be any reason why doubts over ETH impacts on your transfer dealings this summer.

We haven't got that structure properly in place though have we? My point was that we aren't going to splash £250m in the hope of magically turning it around by throwing money at the issue. We will probably be more conservative than usual.
I think that will be how we are going forwards. Conservative. It will need to be if the famous ‘Utd tax’ tag is to be banished.
It might lead to a painful few seasons still to come until something clicks. Or perhaps a few further Weghorst moments.

The only things likely to have an impact on spending this summer is FFP and the fact we haven't got our CEO or DOF in place yet.
Caporegime
Sounds like Man UTD fans are writing off the season before it's even began
Caporegime
Nobody is writing it off but the reality is we need a rebuild and that doesn't happen quickly. Expectations for next season are probably top 4 and go for a cup again.
Caporegime
You've been in a constant state of rebuild with Fergie left.
I'm writing off the next decade bro
That doesn't mean a rebuild isn't required still... unfortunately.

As I think we should. The team needs gutting and rebuilt. I’ll be happy if we’re just playing semi decent football next season with a view to challenging the top 4 the following season.
Caporegime
So? Because it's not been done right. Should we just give up and stop trying because it hasn't been done right yet?
yeah under the glazers who gave jobs to people throwing away the money, now with ineos in charge of the football side things might change for the better
That explains some of it, but it was spectacularly bad.
Anyway, I think we've got to see how it goes... it will be good to get a few new players in and see what happens.
