Ed is damn successful. delay buying what we needed for a season or 2, den when he makes one purchase, people will hail him for it.

a midfielder was what we lacked the season before. we sold 2 and made ourselves even more desperate to fill that position and waited till Jan to get him. that was some speed.

the club is in the same shiat every year

with all the "will Ole stay"
"will it be Pochettino next"
we can forget about early signings.

and no im not referring to United missing out on this Chelsea's new signing.
Chelsea already planned for next season.

oh look. the club that has been failing for 6-7 years, that thinks next summer is important, still haven't make a move :s13:

His new PR guy must have told him that delay signing to the last few days of the transfer window will generate a lot of social media noise = share price go up.

Erling Braut Haaland in 2020: 5 league goals in 57 minutes.

Man United in 2020: 4 league goals in 360 minutes.

Since that May day in 2013, United have signed fewer hits than misses, despite Woodward boasting about United’s success last summer while neglecting to mention that they still didn’t do enough.

With the January window only recently shut, much of the gossip around United centres on creative players like Jack Grealish and James Maddison, and thrilling wingers such as Jadon Sancho. But Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s most pressing need is for a central striker.

Solskjaer has had to muddle through without a proven centre-forward all season – and boy, has it shown. But still, United refused to act last month until Marcus Rashford, himself not a central striker, was sidelined with a back injury.

Only then, in the last few days of the window, did they finally go to market, when all that was left on the shelf was Odion Ighalo or Glenn Murray.

Ighalo may prove to be an inspired short-term signing but his arrival and its hasty manner directly contradicts Woodward’s talk of ‘a clear plan and philosophy’.

Landing Erling Haaland may have given Woodward more authority to speak in such terms but no, the Red Devils suddenly developed principles when it came to dealing with the Borussia Dortmund star’s agent.

Woodward and Solskjaer have a ‘young and hungry’ mantra when it comes to identifying transfer targets and in some other areas, United have covered themselves for the long term. Their other reported summer targets could provide that longevity too. But in attack, not yet have they found a forward to make them stop playing the field.

Who might that be? As Woodward says, United should have enough recruitment gurus to work that out for themselves, the same talent-spotters who analysed 804 right-backs before they settled on the most obvious of all, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, last summer.

Has it occur to you that United have other targets and aren’t interested in this player at all? Chelsea plan for next season because they sign a player and United aren’t? Okay i’m out and nothing to say :s13:

Man Utd has many targets, but Ed seems to miss more than hit them, unless it's commercial targets:D
