They are currently 5th in the table, despite as you said, spent a ton of money to get players.
He could not make Angel di Maria work? Really? You can't make a World Class player work for your squad? He's thriving at PSG right now.
He signed Rojo and Blind and refuse to play them to their natural positions.
And true, it's a young team, a young team he paid for. Depay, Martial and Darmian costed United £79 million (per Sky Sports), that's not counting Martial's potential increase to up to £56 million. You can make the case that there may not have been any available proven talent out there, but that doesn't justify spending over £80 million on Martial and Depay, who has potential, but clearly isn't worth that much money.
A team that spent that much should not lose to Norwich and Bournemouth, and be fighting for a Europa spot. And a team like that should not have a Champions League Group Stage exit, especially when their competition is Wolfsburg and PSV.
Sure they're doing a lot of positives, but for such an expensive team, they can't be 9 points behind the league leaders.
Di Maria never wanted to be there. Have you any idea how Manchester looks compared to Madrid or Paris? He even said in an interview he never even left his house because it was terrible there. He still played somewhat ok, until his home was raided by robbers, which was precisely the point when his performance fell off a cliff.
The rest is just the typical "Ermagerd he spent so much moneh" drivel. Which part of "the team sucked and needed an overhaul and is now very, very young" do you not understand? This idea that you just have to spend 200 million on a few top stars and then you win the league is football manager nonsense, that's not how it works.
And again, even if that 250 million figure was even remotely fair, it's nothing compared to what teams like Man City have spent. De Bruyne €74 million, Sterling €63 million, Otamendi €45 million just this summer alone. Last season Mangala €54 million, Bony 32€ million. Half of these guys don't even play and just warm the bench.
Some more MU stats otherwise we are just cherrypicking
24/10 till 19/12 MU has 7 (SEVEN) on target attempts .. dead last... The Spurs (first) have 30 ... in 8 games 7 shots on target
MU needs +72 pass per goal and before you think about Barcelona ,MU is the first in BACKWARDS passes. The difference between MU and the second Arsenal is the same as between Arsenal and the 15nth Chrystal Palace
The next worse team in passes/goal is Newcastle with ~56.... the difference is same as between the first Leicester (32) and the 10nth WBA
The goal per game ration is the worst since 1990
So this team defends (usually) well , scores just over a goal per game , plays constantly the ball backwards or sideways and rarely threatens the other keeper has spent more than 250m pounds (that`s over 372m usd or 340m euro) but it`s the press to be blamed.....
pass per goal = directly linked to the amount of goals you score, not the coach's fault
goal per game ratio = the same
backwards passes = if you box your opponent into the final third more than anyone else, but your strikers can't get in postion, they're bound to increase.
Which is precisely Man U's problem, and not the coach's fault.
But yeah, keep harping on about a fantasy sum of money and stats out of context you don't even seem to understand. The hacks at goal.com would be proud of you. Talk about cherry-picking.
