as for Ed Woodward, is he as bad as he is being vilified ?
i think it is because he freaking screw up the first transfer window that he was in charge of

2013 David Moyes talked abt Ronaldo, Bale, Fabregas, Kroos etc big name players and then Ed Woodward left the Utd summer tour to conduct " urgent " transfer business ..... all the fans were left in anticipation of who is to come in .... this is the first year after SAF ... and then what happens ? we had Marouane Fellaini and we paid 4m more than his exit clause that expired a few days earlier because we offered a low ball price when his exit clause was effective ..... he did deliver Juan Mata in the January window though

2014 i think is the top tactician fault .... woodward delivered the players the manager wanted ... Di Maria, Falcao, Herrera, Shaw, Blind, Rojo ....
2015 still under LVG .... Martial, Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger, Depay, Darmian, Romero
of cos the players LVG didn't want were all flogged off cheaply ... including Di Maria buy one year sell the next at 15M loss to freaking rich PSG ...

2016 Mourinho ..... Pogba, Mikhitarian, Bailly, Zlatan
2017 Mourinho ..... Lukaku, Matic, Lindelof
2018 Mourinho ..... Fred, Dalot, Sanchez

2019 Solskjaer ..... Maguire, Wan Bissaka, Daniel James, Bruno Fernandes

did Ed Woodward do as bad as he is made out to be or u think the managers screw up ?
