🚨 Michael Owen on Manchester United's transfer strategy:

"I think I understand the direction Manchester United are trying to take in the transfer market, and to be honest, it's a strategy I can get behind.
For too many years, the club paid inflated fees for players, handed out massive wages, and immediately placed enormous expectations on them because of the price tag.
When things didn't work out, United were left trying to move those players on at a huge financial loss.
Look at Jadon Sancho as an example. United invested heavily in his transfer and wages, but it never worked out the way everyone expected.
Situations like that are exactly what the club is trying to avoid.
The current owners seem far more disciplined. Rather than overpaying for players, they're targeting signings they believe represent good value.
That not only protects the club financially but also removes some of the pressure from new arrivals, giving them a better chance to settle and perform.
If they stick to this approach, I think it's a much healthier way to rebuild Manchester United."
@TurkTalksFC Technically those are the two 'lower price signings' they planned for. We'll see if they follow through and do something big for the third or not
@EinSchwarzwelt Can we stop pretending like our team is anything but Mid. We don't have the roster to compete with the other big nations. Simple as that. Poch doing what she can with very little
