137 - In 2003-04, Bolton’s Jay-Jay Okocha had 137 attempts on goal without scoring – no player has had more than 85 shots in a single Premier League season without scoring since. Stubborn. #OptaPLSeasons
We refused to pay £80m for Rice, BTW. We said he was too expensive: “We didn’t want to make the same mistake as Maguire.”
The window ended, and United did PR as usual about how Rice was our summer target. Summer came, and Arsenal and Man City showed us levels.
Sound familiar?
Imagine if Arsenal chose not to sign Rice for £100m+ because Pepe failed.
Imagine if Chelsea chose not to sign Caicedo and Enzo for £100m+ because Lukaku failed.
Imagine if City chose not to sign Elliot Anderson for £100m+ because Grealish failed.
Imagine Liverpool saying they won’t sign Barcola for £100m+ because Isak failed.
But Manchester United fans are telling me we shouldn’t sign another top, expensive player because Paul Pogba’s £89m move in 2016 failed.
This is the mentality that has turned us into a midtable club.
Go and look at the top 10 most expensive Premier League transfers. You won’t find a single Manchester United player in the top 10. yet somehow the fanbase want to win “number 21”
🚨🚨🗣️ Diego León’s agent Renato Bittar:
“His future is still NOT clear, the club hasn’t asked for his departure. We’ll see if anything comes up this week.” #MUFC [@FigueJuanma]
These people are just INEOS facilitators. What the hell are they talking about “does the budget stretch to a Watkins?” We’ve spent NET barely overly £100 million!!! Fucking Ipswich have done that!?? Why do these people constantly talk as though we’re Brighton?? It’s infuriating.
🚨🔵⚪️ Enzo Fernández have his green light to Manchester City as he’s open to move and re-join Enzo Maresca.
#MCFC bid to be sent soon and up to Chelsea.

@JamieSmart93@markgoldbridge During the sale, they told us that INEOS would absorb the club’s debt to allow us to compete. I guess that was another lie you boys told us because Sir Jim, with his Chelsea season ticket, is supposedly a lifelong United fan. Now you’re making excuses about the debt. Enabler
@JamieSmart93@markgoldbridge 14 years without the Premier League, and we’re slowly replacing Arsenal as the banter club. Sir Jim should have fucked off and let the Qataris buy the club, remove the Glazers, and clear the debt you’re making excuses for—debts they incurred through sheer incompetence.
