Seems like a tribute kit to Harry Maguire.

Clearly Man Utd are worried about encountering U-Boats.

Their transfer window has been such a mess again. Cavani has been a free agent since June, but they've waited until the very end of the transfer window to sign him. He's clearly not someone they were planning to sign or it would've been done months ago. Sancho they've chased all window, they've ignored the price they needed to pay, they've ignored the deadline they were set and their going to miss their main target.

Utd have been all over the place since Fergie left. Moyes seemed a sensible option to steady the ship but his appointment mixed with Woodward's inability to sign players made for a mess.
LVG bought them lots of young players but most failed to make the grade at Utd and at their next club.
Jose brought them short term success but the fans never took to him and they fired him.
It feels like the club and fans feel they have been quick to fire managers so now want to give their manager time. Problem, for them, is they are giving the wrong manager time.
They have some really good attacking players but there is little evidence of them becoming a team. They have enough quality in their squad to compete but I can't see them building any level of consistency.

After watching them yesterday, I'm wondering why they've spent the last 12 months prioritising a right winger. They already have one of the outstanding young talents in the country for that postition, while the rest of the team is a mess.
Like the Pogba signing, I feel that they want Sancho not for what he's bring to the team. but for what he represents.
Long may it continue.

They're a broken club and there's one common denominator in why that is, the fact that they're signing Cavani and Dembele on deadline day just tells you all that you need to know, people bemoan our lack of strategy at times but you look at man Utd's and we are a world apart, it's shocking.
Also I did say that Ole was gonna get found out this season, it's obvious that the team are either poorly coached or they're not responding or buying into his to his coaching. No idea what they were doing in midfield yesterday, the pressing traps were pathetic for example - looks to me like they don't have a coherent plan in trapping the opposition and rely on individuals to win the ball back and create chances, it's ab big reason why we were always able to bypass their midfield so easily because the midfield was lost. Anyway Ole isn't the one - not strong enough to manage Utd - if Jose 'failed' as a manager there then Ole doesn't hold much hope.

It's a question of authority. No United manager since SAF has had genuine authority over the players, and all the subsequent managers have ended up being scapegoated for the poor performance of the playing staff. Moyes, LVG, Mourinho were clearly never as ineffectual as they were made to look at Old Trafford. OGS was only appointed because he was acceptable to the players, and because he would toe the corporate line.

The first thing I'd do is sell Pogba. Wonderfully talented player but not a player who you want to rely on for consistency and resolute in midfield.
I'd then spend that money on Upemecano and Grealish rather than piss around with Sancho. And sign a DM and LB.
Either Ole doesn't have the balls to say to the board, what he really wants or he's joining in with this futile chase for Sancho.
I said on Friday how weak Solskjaer came across in his pre match interview, offering weak excuses by talking about how hard finances are, supporting the board with zero enthusiasm, and nervously giggling his way though it. He didn't want to be there and you could see he's struggling.
Compare to Jose, a winner, who didn't hide from the truth and tried to apply pressure on the board. United fans said he should have been more professional and hid his feelings, yet he was only saying what they are feeling now.

I had a holiday with my bro and two his friends and families last summer. All United fans.
First thing one of them said to me "Bet you and your fans are fuming about having Jose"
Whilst he's true to a degree, as some of our fans were, they all said Jose was done. I told them I felt it was the club and not Jose and it's hard to judge him on his time there yet he still won trophies.
All of them disagreed and told me he'll suck the life out of things, he'll make it about him and spurs will struggle. Two of them believed Solskjaer was going to have them challenging for the title.
I'm grinning this morning.
