The bank accounts of officials should be looked in to, decisions have gone Ushited's way for nigh on 20 years, but the decisions now are even more blatant. Something quite sinister in it.

To be fair united spend their fair share and have done so year on year. Obviously not as much as City have in such a short space of time but even this season De Gea £17m, Jones £16.5m, Young £16m.

Tbf the longevity of Fergie's united career has allowed him to build the structures to allow him to groom and nurture youth players into first team regulars. Chelsea and man city change their managers so often no ones there long enough to do plan ahead for the next 5-6 plus years and put similar structures in place. Fergie ( and Wenger to an extent) are masters of succession planning - but that also ties into the fact they are the 2 longest serving managers in the PL and have been allowed to put those structures in place.

Difference being the type of players being brought in, aside for Young (possibly) they aren't big name players. Rather players who have potential and can be moulded to play, think and train the united way.

United haven't been at the best (by far) and yet look to have clinched the league with 6 games to spare.

They have bought plenty of big money players in the past - berbatov, RVN, van Der sar, Evra, vidic, Rooney, Ferdinand, carrick, Valencia, owen, obertan, Hargreaves, Anderson and nani cost £30m), saga, smith, heinze, Ronaldo, klebberson, veron, forlan, blanc.

I'm not pro-city or agree with 'buying the title' I just think people forget how much united have spent because of Fergie's brilliant succession planning.

Always was fond of Man City till they were took over, still prefer them over Man United and their arrogant, clueless, plastic, prawn sandwich eating, day tripper, "been to Old Trafford three times and I've got all the replica shirts" excuse for supporters.

Tbf I know plenty of Cov fans who say the same about us because they've been to 1 game at the Ricoh but I digress. Personally think Man City had it coming. United to me have always been a team - they replace players and spend a massive amount of money in doing so, but it's always replacing 1 or 2 people so the team ethic remains. City just bought 'a bunch of mercenaries' the quote a phrase I keep seeing, and it hasn't worked.
