Robbie Fowler believes the summer transfer window has cruelly exposed a serious fault line in Manchester United ’s transfer policy.
And the Anfield legend, who also played for Manchester rivals City, believes new Old Trafford boss Erik ten Hag must follow the careful course of Jurgen Klopp to guide the club back to the summit of the game. With Paul Pogba leaving on a free this summer, and Cristiano Ronaldo causing ructions amongst the squad behind the scenes as he pushes for a move, Fowler has pointed to a flawed transfer policy which has caused such massive problems.
And pointing to Liverpool ’s determination to stick to their wage structure, he said: “I actually think Manchester United are in a bit of a mess right now, because they didn’t do that. They paid David de Gea an absolute fortune to keep him, but what did that mean? Instantly, players like Paul Pogba want parity. And then others do. Ronaldo comes in and wants more than them. Then Pogba wants parity with him.
