The Ortega thing has reared its head again. Source in Spain saying a deal has been agreed which may take a few months to sort out due to the A and B shares complication. I am fairly sure that this will turn out to be bollocks but I can dream for a moment... I hope your right but I’m not settling myself up for disappointment |

He’s not getting enough attention recently.
Season starts soon, only Donny has been signed, everything as usual only moves into motion in the actual window rather than in the entire year that leads to the window.. biggest club in the world.

Listen to this fucking weapon:
Manchester United begin their 2020/21 Premier League season this weekend against Crystal Palace with just the one signing in Donny van de Beek in place.
In what was meant to be a huge summer of ins and outs for the club, the board have so far failed to bring in the majority of Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s transfer targets and get rid of the no longer needed deadwood. This has led to increased fan frustration on social media and was recently met by reports of United then being frustrated – yes, we know.
Speaking to United Review, via Manchester Evening News, Ed Woodward has once again reiterated the club’s stance on transfers during the coronavirus pandemic.
“Disruption from the pandemic is continuing to create huge economic pressures from the top to the bottom of the football pyramid and, while we are fortunate to be in a more resilient position than most clubs, we are not immune from the impact. Despite this, we are delighted to have brought in Donny van de Beek from Ajax, adding further quality to a midfield already strengthened by the recruitment of Bruno Fernandes in January.

“Both Donny and Bruno are players we had been tracking for some time and their signings reflect out long-term approach to blending high-quality recruits with homegrown talent to develop a squad capable of winning trophies playing attacking, entertaining football.”
United’s CEO went on to speak about the contract extensions the club have given out in the past few months as well as Academy signings.
“As part of that process, we have also awarded new contracts to Nemanja Matic and academy graduates Dean Henderson, Brandon Williams, Scott McTominay and Mason Greenwood over the past year. We have also continued to strengthen our thriving academy by attracting several promising young players from across Europe, including Marc Jurado from Barcelona and Alvaro Fernandez Carreras from Real Madrid.
“Together, these investments reinforce our optimism about the future, and we will continue to build on these strong foundations. However, we must also be responsible in our use of resources during the most extraordinarily challenging time for everyone in football.”

When I read this this morning I just felt totally deflated, but why should I be surprised by his comments |

Biggest club in the world my arse! |

It was obvious at the time he came out of the summer budget.
He kept losing possession last summer and we were concerned enough to make briefs about it.
But never mind, at least none of the academy lads will have their paths blocked in case 1% of them are actually going to prove themselves good enough at this level.
The United way. 😎

Will he ever be held accountable for his role in the club’s demise?

www.football365.com/news/man-utd-opinion-early-loser-ed-woodward-witness-to-his-own-transfer-incompetenceF365’s early loser: Ed Woodward, witness to his own incompetence Date published: Saturday 19th September 2020 8:24 Ed Woodward Man Utd If Ed Woodward was already ‘frustrated at the social media frenzy’ surrounding Manchester United’s transfer inactivity, then the vice-chairman might be best advised to swerve Twitter for a day or two. Even if he should be used to it by now, Woodward has been getting pelters for much of the summer, long before the final whistle blew on United’s dismal defeat to Crystal Palace. But in the face of more accusations of sleeping on the job, like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the brains trust at Old Trafford has no reasonable defence. That didn’t stop Woodward from trying to cover himself in his programme notes before Roy Hodgson brought his Eagles to Old Trafford. “Disruption from the pandemic is continuing to create huge economic pressures from the top to the bottom of the football pyramid and, while we are fortunate to be in a more resilient position than most clubs, we are not immune from the impact.” After revelling in new contracts for four academy graduates and the signing of a couple of teenagers from Barcelona and Real Madrid’s youth ranks, he continued… “Together, these investments reinforce our optimism about the future, and we will continue to build on these strong foundations. However, we must also be responsible in our use of resources during the most extraordinarily challenging time for everyone in football.” Amid the arse-covering is some fair comment but where United supporters and Woodward disagree is over what a ‘responsible use’ of the vast resources available to one of the world’s richest football clubs might be. The evidence suggests that Woodward and his cronies don’t deem ‘improving the football team’ as high on the list of the club’s priorities. It seems United, at board level, do not recognise the need to improve. The opening theme of Woodward’s notes centred on the anticipation around seeing ‘our exciting young team build on the progress made’ last season. Even during that climb to third place in the Premier League and three runs to cup semi-finals, United’s shortcomings were stark. But for Woodward and the board, Palace shone the brightest light on the Red Devils’ weaknesses and the reasons Solskjaer has not a hope of taking United any further without some significant reinforcements. If @dave35678094 on Twitter can see that United woefully need a competent left-back, a mobile centre-back and a creative forward on the right flank, then Woodward could use the next programme to clarify why he disagrees. Palace’s opener provided the most succinct evidence imaginable for why United need to revamp half of their defence. Both Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw failed to demonstrate even the hint of a defensive instinct, with the centre-back almost clearing a path for Jeff Schlupp to tee-up Andros Townsend, whom Shaw deemed not enough of a threat to break out of a trot until it was too late. We are presuming Shaw is still capable of the necessary change of pace. The evidence there is sadly lacking.

Mitten was on Sky Sports this morning. Anyone know if he said anything useful?
