I don’t care how much money Manchester United spend on new players in this transfer window, you are looking at five, six, seven years before that club is turned around.
Why? Because they have no foundations. None. And you can’t start building fancy roof turrets before you’ve put the concrete in for the ground floor.
Panicking and looking to spend, what, £150m or so on a midfielder who is over 30 and a kid with a season and a half in the Dutch league under his belt, is trying to put the attic in before any bricks have gone up.
