Mata signed at a time when Man Utd were reigning champions and in the 2nd round of the Champions League. Di Maria's contract had an "out" clause allowing him to leave if the club failed to qualify for the CL. Bailly was signed from Villareal (not exactly a CL powerhouse)

The players I mentioned really were chased by Man Utd (not just tabloid rumour). These player pursuits were confirmed directly by the sources themselves (the players, LVG, and Moyes). If Griezman becomes available today, do you honestly think he would leave a club where he is a title contender and CL player every year to join a club in transition like Man Utd? Even if he wanted to leave he would go to Barca, Real, Bayern, or PSG before Man Utd.

CRon example is irrelevant. Real Madrid was his childhood dream which he made clear from Day 1 and that's why he left a highly successful United at that point.
Again, this is business - if United had truly wanted some of those names it would have happened. There is a difference between media speculations planted by agents and actual transfer enquiry and negotiations. Mourinho identified 4 targets and got them all, it was not an accident.

Man Utd's problem is that their results tend to mirror those of the 5 teams above them. Last week was a golden opportunity to close the gap as 4 of the top 5 (Spurs, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal) dropped points. Then so did Man Utd.
Man Utd need to pick up points now as they have the hardest run in of all teams. That run in just got harder (ironically because Man Utd reached a cup final). The game away at Man City has been postponed due to a clash with the EFL cup final.
That means:

*2 of Man Utd's final 3 games are Spurs and Arsenal away - in May.
*Man Utd have to play Chelsea in April.
*Man Utd still have to play Arsenal, Man City, and Spurs away.


Playing Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Man City in quick succession is not a nice way to conclude the season.

The last 2 weeks have been good for Man Utd fans:

*Man Utd through to the final of the EFL Cup
*Man Utd through to round 5 of the FA Cup
*Liverpool knocked out of the EFL Cup
*Liverpool knocked out of the FA Cup
*Liverpool losing at home to Southampton, Swansea, and Wolves
*Liverpool losing away to Hull
*Leeds knocked out of the FA Cup by a non-league team

I know that many Man Utd fans taped the games that Liverpool and Leeds lost, and play them back with a glass of red wine in hand so they can enjoy the tears of the Leeds and Liverpool fans (which are as sweet as honey for Man Utd fans).

Kajifu, Leeds and Liverpool fans have been dancing on Man Utd graves for years. Liverpool fans taunt Man Utd by singing despicable songs glorifying the death of Man Utd players in the Munich plane crash, and Leeds fans desecrated the mourning for the deceased Sir Matt Busby by refusing to honour a minute's silence for him and instead singing "There's only one Don Revie" throughout the memorial. Not to mention Liverpool fans booing Man Utd player Alan Smith after he broke his leg at Anfield in a horrific career threatening injury he never fully recovered from, then attacking the ambulance that was called to take him away from the ground.

Now we get boot on their throats and we are going to save those tapes of them losing to a non-league team (Leeds) or losing 3 games at home in 1 week (Liverpool). May their tears flow as bountifully as a waterfall....

Has any team in EPL history stayed in 6th position for as many consecutive weeks as Man Utd? This must be a record.

Things have really changed since Ferguson retired. I don't think he would have liked players posting social media videos of themselves messing about in the changing room in a season where they are stuck at 6th.

Who should Man Utd keep and let go this summer? Sky says Wazza, Bastian, Young, and Shaw are on the chopping block. Very surprised Darmian is not there. Average size, strength, defensive ability, pace, and below average passing and crossing. Get rid (and get Aurier).

Southampton were excellent on the day and perhaps Man Utd did not deserve to win. However, good to have the second trophy of the post-SAF era. If I recall correctly, SAF's serial title winning sequence began with him winning the FA Cup, followed by the League Cup...
