So far Ole has got 66, 66 and 74 points in his 3 seasons so he is improving. 74 points isn't really good enough given how much he spends. He really needs an 80+ point season this season.

IMO that 74pts is skewed by the lack of fans and it being a Covid season in general. Their unbeaten away record doesn't happen with fans in the grounds in the same way our 6 home defeats on the bounce doesn't.

But, hold on there.

Man Utd don't spend any money, according to their fans

Romano's given his 'here we go' regarding Varane. So that's Sancho and him in - Camavinga and Trippier next? Is Pogba expected to leave?

Raphaël Varane to Manchester United, here we go! #MUFC

Agreement almost done between Man Utd and Real Madrid, just final details to be completed and then paperworks time. It’s a “matter of hours or days”. Here-we-go. Flag of France

Varane has a total agreement on personal terms too.

I think him leaving would really help them. Teamwork always beats talent

Yeah, I'd want Pogba to stay. On his day he can be absolute class, no denying that, but I think he does hold them back in more ways than he contributes.

He can never be class. He is good on the ball but his game isn't well-rounded at all.

I agree with that to an extent, he doesn't "have it all" like someone like Gerrard did. But he's had a few select games where he's looked like a man playing amongst boys - admittedly more of those happen for France rather than for Man United.

He is regardless. You can't keep spending megabucks on players but also take none of the pressure. If they dont win the title its a monstrous failure.

I think so. But not immediately. According to that lot (Neville etc) they've GOT to seriously challenge this season but by no means HAVE to win it. I'd say the real pressure comes in 22/23. On thing's for sure, they've certainly got to win some trophy or other this season. The fans have NO excuse now. They made their protests ... looks like the Glazers are willing to spend big (in Covid times) so they really don't have any scapegoat anymore. With that squad, a challenge until the final week of the season is a prerequisite.

for sure he will be under huge pressure to win. By the end of the trasfer window he’ll probably be pushing the half a billion mark in purchases.

And they will be declared as 2nd favourites too behind Man City. Now of course, plenty here won’t agree with that, but that is what I will expect to hear from the media, pundits and of course fans (although plenty of their own will see them as favorites.

Their logic will be - they finished 2nd last year (ignoring any factors that may or may not have helped), and they will have spent probably around £200 mill if they get all their targets in. So it goes with the teritor that only way they expect them to go is up. As it should be really.

Varane's a good signing and I expect them to challenge for the title now. Maybe they lack in terms of depth but their strongest XI is right up there, at least on paper.

Varane is similar to Lovren.

Why are they linked with Trippier anyway? Are they not happy with AWB or are they planning on switching to a back 3?

Maybe he thinks Pep's obsession with buying all the full-backs is the one to follow for guaranteed success.

Absolutely.

You dont get to finish 2nd, chuck hundreds of millions about in the transfer market and hundreds of thousands a week at new signings as well as the guaranteed dodgy decsions, and then go 'Oh yeah 2nd again will be fine'. You dont get the underdog tag. If you dont win the title its a monumental failure, like it or not.

Funky_Gibbons · « **Reply #17391 on:** July 26, 2021, 03:35:27 pm »

With their spending since Ole took over they should most definitely be challenging for the league.

I think top 4 would be amazing for them this season. Klopp with a full squad, Tuchel and Guardiola with great squads. Ole would do really well to get 4th and maybe the last 16 in the Champions League.

Lindelof is also as weak as wet toilet paper.

They’ll make a formidable pairing midway through the season, when Maguire is breaking rocks with his head in a Greek jail.
