One last tweet as I'm aware I'm ranting and lot's of people don't like negativity.
Bit I feel like INEOS have been pretty naive thinking this 'we only want players desperate for United' strategy would work for another consecutive summer.
Sure, it's a great precedent. It worked for Cunha, Mbeumo, Sesko and Lammens.
But the modern footballer hasn't seen United at that elite level for 10+ years, and money is sadly just becoming a leading temptator for these guys.
Players are not simply going to 'fall to their knees' for Manchester United in 2026.
There has to be a level of convincing there else other top teams won't be afraid to swoop in and take them.
United are in such a sticky position right now.
Not willing to pay Premier League premium prices.
So will be forced to turn to unknown gems for cheap.
Developing these guys isn't exactly our strong point.
Lammens worked so INEOS will just point to that.

🚨🏴 Thomas Tuchel must start Kobbie Mainoo today. We’ve seen in the Premier League and past international tournaments how good of a player he is.
It’s a disgrace he’s had zero minutes this World Cup.
We was warned by Nice fans. These owners are actively ruining this beautiful club. Ex city board members. Ex Chelsea season ticket holder. We was doomed as soon as it was announced Sir Jim was keeping the glazers here. GET THEM OUT! #MUFC#GLAZERSOUT#INEOSOUT#ManchesterUnited
