Manchester United’s Disastrous Transfer Policy Could Ruin The Club In The Long Term With Di Maria And Falcao Risky Buys

BOUGHT: Marcos Rojo – £16m + Nani

In the wake of United’s opening day defeat to Swansea City they signed Rojo, for a fee that raised more than a few eyebrows. Instead of the top class, solid central defender they needed, United bought a pseudo-centre-back seemingly off the back of Argentina’s run to the 2014 World Cup final. It’s no wonder Sporting CP fans were shocked that a major club had moved for a player that Tim Vickery described as “not a player of Manchester United’s calibre”.
