it's a joke inside the box
They spent like 150m or so and still no effect. What was the point in buying Mata for huge amount last year if he is on the bench at the moment because of Di Maria. And why they bought three (literally, three) left backs for total amout of 50m (Shaw, Blind, Rojo), whereas they still don't have proper centre-backs.
They didn't allocate their money on right targets. On the contrary, they reinforced areas in which they already had quality players.

Its so funny, I was literally reading Pirlo's book before this game - and he mentioned how he would never be a coach but said that if he built a side, he would start with the defence and midfield saying the expensive attacking players are great for some really nice goals, moments and ticket sales but they do not build the foundation of a successful team.
Which brings me to this Man U match. I was watching it and even when they were leading I got the sense that they had no composure in defence and midfield. They started the match by cramming Van Versie, Falcao, Rooney, and Di Maria in the starting 11. You can only do that if you have legendary central mids and a rock solid back 4 - which they clearly do not. The team looks extremely unbalanced.
I know Man U has signed mega sponsorship deals etc, but man, they might start panicking if they spend 150m and don't even get into the top 7 let alone the top 4.
