So, we still need to get deals done for Hojlund, Malacia, Sancho and Antony before 7pm on Sunday, assuming, that is, that Garnacho has been agreed. The goalkeeper situation is a disaster, and we haven't bought a DM.
We have managed to "convince" 3 players - Cunha, Mbuemo, and Sesko - that the club has an exciting future and that it was in their footballing interests to sacrifice themselves by accepting substantial increases in their wages to come join the program. One of them still hasn't scored for the club despite having chances, and even managed to miss the PK that would have seen us beat Grimsby, and the other the one that sealed our embarrassing fate (though he did at least bring us back into the game) .
We have a head coach who is so enthusiastic that he's reportedly considering resigning. Meanwhile our supposed best player has been moved back to a position where he is less effective because we now have a surfeit of #10s. Our 3 exciting kids who were photographed together, Mainoo, Hojlund and Garnacho, not long ago being thought of as potentially reproducing the great Best, Law and Charlton, have gone, about to be gone, or sidelined.
Whatever confidence in the season there might have been looks like it's already collapsed, particularly amongst many of us fans who were excited by our signings a few weeks ago when there was talk of Baleba coming in. Even if we beat Burnley, with Chelsea and City coming up the chances that Amorim will break his long streak of failing to win back to back games looks like continuing.
Never a dull moment being a United fan. at least not off the field.

I wonder if selling rasmus is wise. He had no service and a loan spell may do him good.
Our failure to sell the dead wood is an issue and seemingly only players out of contract or retiring seem to leave. Apparently malacia is likely to see his remaining year out on loan to prevent us recapping money.
I have no expectation we will make any more signings due to psr or the instability and uncertainty over amorims future
What's worse is that I've written off the season 3 games in. I was so excited after the arsenal game.
But what really gets me down is not knowing the answer. We have had new owners, new DOF (short lived) , new backroom staff, new players new manager. But it doesn't work so what is the answer?
