"United's behind-the-scenes disarray"

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...lletproof.html

Ed Woodward’s absence from Manchester United’s pre-season tour for the first time in six years this summer was supposed to have given him the chance to negotiate the tighter transfer window, yet it was chaos as usual on Wednesday.

Tottenham’s Christian Eriksen, the kind of playmaker the club badly needs, was simply not that convinced by the ambition or genuine interest of United, who had made no approach before Wednesday, according to the selling club.

Harry Maguire heard nothing from Woodward for weeks, despite a relationship with Mike Phelan, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s assistant, who knows him well

Newcastle United’s Sean Longstaff could have been signed for £20m this summer but now United are likely to end up paying £70m next summer instead.

Darren Fletcher was approached by Woodward, yet 10 weeks later had heard nothing more.

There are tensions within the academy, where Nick Cox — brought from Sheffield United to become head of academy — last month replaced Nicky Butt who is now head of first team development, even though the two get on well. Butt feels undermined by the reshuffle.

Privately, coaching staff have voiced frustrations with something as basic as the lack of viewing areas of the Carrington academy pitches from their offices.

There is even unhappiness about the new first-team bus, which is seen by the players as inferior to the vehicles which transport other top Premier League clubs.

Players were so tired of personal sponsor appearances last autumn that they refused to participate

Poisonous Jose etc etc etc etc...

Loving this aren't you you @#%&!.

When's the oil drilling season start?

Club is being driven into the ground. Not going to end well this

What a load of absolute %@#$&!s.

Telegraph as well (paywalled)

Romelu Lukaku and Paul Pogba's faded 'bromance' is a symbol of Manchester United's chaos

No mention of the wifi. Progress.

Basically the same end to last summers transfer window...



I..

Am..

Shocked.

Will all be forgotten after we beat Chelsea.

Yawn.

Of course we could have got Longstaff for £20m

Maguire that upset with Woodward he only signed a 7-year contract.

What on earth does last autumn have to do with this transfer window?

Seems like Moumou is well out of this.

"The wilderness years"

Cracked club crest. Tommy Docherty slagging the club on the radio. Chief Exec loitering in the women's toilets.

Woodward is obviously a massive cancer on the club, he cannot do anything right and treats everyone he comes into contact with like shit.

It was obvious he fell out with Jose (not difficult tbh, two massive @#%&!s acting like massive @#%&!s was never going to work), LVG has gone on record saying that Ed Woodward bullshit him in person over his position at the club, and Evra said he £#%&!ed him over on his one year extension as well.

Anything negative about Woodward it most likely true imo, he has fine form for it. And anything negative about the club is probably down to Woodward, because again, he has fine form for it.

We're £#%&!ed until that chinless rat has been banished from the club, and all mentions of him removed from the history books.

He "doesn't like conflict" according to the article.

Telling Ferdinand in changing room straight after the last game of 2014 season he wouldn’t be getting a new contract.

Sacking LVG the way he did

Plenty more to tbf, he’s a ginormous @#%&! and hope Ole or Micky slap shit out of in their next meeting.

Club is rotten and run by cretins, no matter who the manager is they’ll face an up hill challenge to get us back to where we want to be.

Why didn't Ole the window operative fit some new windows at Carrington.

Some of that might well be true and Woodward is a cancer on the club but it's so £#%&!ing easy for journos to write doom and gloom articles about Utd for easy clicks as people will believe it

No £#%&!ing way would we have gotten Longstaff for 20 mill this summer
Utter %@#$&!s

Viewing angles ffs, get out of the office and onto the training pitches to watch you lazy bastards
