June Gloom was coined by Californians for the cloudy weather in the sixth month of the year and it now appears to have been adopted by Manchester United supporters.
The last time United went through June without a single signing was in 2010 and they had already given Chris Smalling and Javier Hernandez tours of Old Trafford that year. Even in the infamous summer of 2013, Guillermo Varela was paraded on a late Friday afternoon by the then-United chief operating officer Michael Bolingbroke.
The response to the ill-fated David Moyes error was reasonably swift. Louis van Gaal signed off deals for Ander Herrera and Luke Shaw before July and nixed an expected move for Toni Kroos.
