Manchester United were right not to pay ยฃ116m for Elliot Anderson & ยฃ300k+ p/w & they are right not to pay ยฃ85m for Mateus Fernandes & ยฃ250k p/w.
Not overpaying for players is something the club has to change. If they don't value players at that price they shouldn't & won't be bullied into paying it.
This is the correct decision, whether you want to or can swallow it or not. These are changes the club needed to make & they're correctly making them.
Fernandes isn't worth the wages when considering the club's wage structure. I understand frustration on time wasted, but I can't believe people think he's worth that.
There will be performative outrage, turbo tweeting temper tantrums. I understand frustration of the unknown now & what happens next. That's fair.
The double edged sword with these decisions is being able to pivot to alternative targets & find value in the market - the club have to prove they can do that.
