In Richard Arnold's chat over a pint with Manchester United fans there was one moment where he hinted at some of the mistakes the club has made in recent years.
"Do you want me buying the players? Does that not ring a bell?," Arnold said when discussing transfers with the protestors. The inference was clear and Ed Woodward's desire to try and control footballing issues often backfired.
One of the most significant issues from the Woodward era was United's policy of handing out new contracts as a way of protecting player values. In what is now a challenging transfer market, it has made selling unwanted players difficult and left the club lumbered with some high earners who are on the periphery of the first-team squad.
