Manchester United like to boast they are the biggest club in the world. As big as God, according to new chief executive Richard Arnold, who once told a summit he addressed in 2016 that the “level we are engaging at, to put it in context, is akin to religion.”
It’s about time they started doing what it says on the tin. If United just step aside to allow Liverpool to snatch Benfica striker Darwin Nunez from under their noses then the bright new future promised by Arnold when he took over from Ed Woodward earlier this year will already be a pipedream.
New boss Erik ten Hag has no chance of bringing the glory days back if United continue to operate in the transfer market like they have since way before Sir Alex Ferguson retired nine years ago.
