As for the club it's been a disaster of a transfer window for them.
They have only strengthened 1 starting position in the team effectively we've replaced Herrera with Fred in the starting XI. Carrick has retired so Herrera/Fellaini are now 4th and 5th choice CM options. Even with Fred I'm not sure we are now stronger in central midfield than we were last season.
They have not cleared out the players who just aren't good enough squad is still way to big. Darmian and at least 1 CB needed to go without even being replaced and probably 1 attacking option just to get rid of players who contribute very little for their high salaries.
They're going into another season with Valencia and Young as first choice full backs converted wingers well into their 30's and being asked to perform superhuman tasks from full back. Dalot to me feels like Lindelof we'll see bits of him in certain games maybe 25-30 appearences expecting him to hit the ground running straight away is ambitious.
They've not got rid of or re-signed some high value assets who are going into the last 12 months of contracts. Shaw, Herrara & Mata.
There are still clearly 3 problem players for Mourinho in the squad Shaw, Martial & Pogba all clearly have a strained relationship with the manager 1 has publically expressed his desire to leave.
I think we all saw 5 serious problem positions in our starting XI at the end of last season where we were lacking real world class talent and upgrades were required. RB, LB, CB, CM, RW only 1 of those positions has been addressed properly.
There's all sort of rumours going around there's one that says the list Mourinho offered to Woodward was unrealistic and didn't fit with the clubs policy basically he only wanted finished products there was no developing players which would leave Utd with to many older players with no re-sale value.
There are rumours he paid no attention to any of the players suggested by the new scouting team that the club has built to help him.
Utd board apparently want to target younger player up to the age of 25 they will make som exceptions but they either want talent that will develop from 20-23 or talent that is going to give it's peak years to Utd 24-25 joining at 24/25. According to some reports Mourinho's list was all players over 28 who would attract massive transfer fees/wages and have almost no re-sale value for the club.
I think his comment is a good thing to be honest he and we need to move on and focus on what we have no point moaning about what we don't have but you know as soon as we have a few bad results he'll be pointing back to the summer and it could get nasty.
