Thats making the assumption that those players are currently performing even at "par" for their abilities. Most of the players your have named above are squad players at best.
A good manager would get the most out of our players.
DDG
Dalot
Shaw ** given what he went through (and what he was like before JM) its impossible to know - he is starting to come good now though
Bailly
Smalling - already playing above his ability by a long way
Matic - Not convinced he is anything other than a (very) short term solution
Pogba
Periera - Its debatable JM has done much wrong with him, was players choice to go to Valencia last season
Fred
Martial
Rashford
Lukaku
Sanchez - given how many chances and in different roles he has been given, its debatable this would have been different
.
All of the above are good players under the right manager. I agree that we should have a better squad for the money spent but we have a bunch of players easily good enough to be top 4. We have a squad that is easily good enough to be beating almost every team in the league bar the odd blip. The fact that we are playing like we have/are is not because we have a rubbish squad its because we have a toxic manager. .[/QUOTE]
That's highly debatable, with one decent centre half (Bailly) who doesn't have the best injury record since joining us - the defence is always going to be weak. Dalot is very inexperienced (although looks promising, but will be lucky to get 40% of the games available just because of his inexperience. Shaw is looking promising again although he does need ot improve defensively - hopefully this will come in time. With one main central striker (who did decently in most games last season) suddenly not able to take his chances - results are always going to take a turn for the worse.
How many top players do Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal have outside their first XI. We have a load of players who aren't United standard but the best managers get the best out of their players. The system they create means that if a lesser player has to come in for a while the whole team shouldn't suffer. Mourinho rotates players out for god knows what reason, plays someone else who hasn't played in weeks or months then drops them when they are not amazing. Hes just a bad manager and can only succeed with a team that already has a strong identity and just requires short term motivation.
Why are you so focused on outside their 1st XI - Utd don't have a decent XI to start with (no right winger to speak of, no consistant central defence and one goal scorer for the most part) - and those patching up the holes are either up and coming players , massively out of form (if they were ever IN form for Utd to start with) or squad players at best who shouldn't be at Utd to start with, let alone for this length of time.
If the players aren't capable of playing at this level it doesn't matter which manager is on the sidelines. Fellaini as a DM / centre half is a disaster waiting to happen (as proven by at least 2 goals in separate games already coming from central dm /centre half area of the pitch) - doesn't matter who is on the side lines this is a short term solution because no one was got in the summer (just one instance , same could be said of Mata as a right winger)
From Forbes -
United have made £651m in operating profits over the last decade, but have spent £523m on financing the loans used by the Glazers to buy the club. The dividends paid to the Glazers in the most recent accounts come to £22m of £44m profit
Yes, we have had some (very) debatable transfers over the last few years no doubt, but that is in a nutshell where the issues all start from. Its not all about money, but it doesn't help when the owners are taking out such significant sums year after year.
