- Change is coming at Manchester United.
The niggles and deficiencies once left ignored are now seemingly being repaired
and replaced. The differences between Glazers and INEOS are already obvious.
For the past 10/11 years, it’s been evident that United’s recruitment has
dwindled in every possible way post-Sir Alex. There’s not a world where you
could argue otherwise.
United’s biggest failures are found in the recruitment, but there’s still time to
change this.
It’s been clear as day for over a decade that United needed a recruitment
specialist.
We’re getting this finally from INEOS, with Ashworth, Wilcox, Berrada and Vivell.
There are still problems. Big problems, and the top men in this operation see it

The rot started in the summer of 2009 after the CL final. We won a couple of titles after in a poor league and threw one away but it’s evident we were on a downward trajectory following that night in Rome and were asleep at the wheel while City were getting their act together
i agreed with everything you just said well done A list should be made up of players which fit into the system you want to play which should be of similar quality and see which one you can get for the price you have set..if you are looking for a left footed player to play on the right wing ,buy a player that has been doing that at his club , dont buy a right footed player who you hope can play there
Good break down ur becoming one of my favs lol keep up the good work
when he says we cant find a gem he doesn't mean accademy players he's talking kante before he signed for leicester or haaland when we got offered him at 15m when he was at molde
@@DeanB1980 100%
We had plenty of Gems put forward, but Fergie always thought he knew better, the irony is he sacked the Head of Global Scouting who recommended ...wait for it De Ligt at age 17 and De Jong as well... we know the Gems but the Football Board is ancient old Scotts who thought they knew better
@@gregoryconran that’s a lie Fergie was long gone when de ligt was 17 he’s only 24 now not sure what rag or tweet you’ve been reading
@@gregoryconran Time has passed those guys by . Please everyone , the Fergie days are OVER . God bless him but times have changed .
Look at Real Madrid they got Vini, Valverde, Rodrygo etc all before they were a name they saw potential and they went and got them how much are just those 3 worth now
Not cowards, Ste. Incompetent's. You can't run a club successfully without any ability to sell assets you no longer need at good prices.
Great vid as always Ste. Exciting summer ahead
I think City set United up over signing of Ronaldo - he would never have fitted in with the way Pep G plays !
Like haaland?
@@Doctor_KroomHaaland is a pressing machine and doesn’t expect every pass to be to him, Ronaldo is the complete opposite .
The Ronaldo signing set us back 5 years
United have one of the biggest scouting networks in the world, read the article in the Athletic they players they could have had
If the football board had listened
So we are the new arsenal? Looks at the players we could've signed but didn't. What a sad state of affairs this has become
@@gregoryconranIt's the scouts that have been vetoed the signings. That's why they were sacked
@@anthonyguiness9 LOL, the head scout quit, he was not fired. and the head of global scouting recommended De Ligt - so why would he Veto against a player he himself recommended when he was 17. Aye its a nice illusion, but it is just that. The glazers have not called the shots in an age, the football side was run by the Football Board, that may change since INEOS and a new CEO but I doubt it
@@gregoryconran No, Jim Lawlor the head scout was fired, whatever technicality you want to put on it. It's also well known that the scouts vetoed signings like Haaland
Love your work mate!
Great video!
United said they scouted 804 Right Backs before landing on AWB! Are there even 804 professional right backs???
Yes there are
No wonder loads of staff are getting made redundant, imagine how much money was wasted scouting all those players
Great vid ste. Thumbnail has a spelling mistake in it. Just to let you know. 👍
We had Ferguson and Gill doing the transfers. Gill was leaving while Ferguson was staying on but then the accident with Fergies wife happened and that made him retire the same year Gill went. With both of them gone we had no one with any football knowledge put in place to replace them in recruitment. INEOS are starting to put those foundations back into the club and so far the caliber of staff they’ve brought in are top notch and can only be good for the clubs future
Gill is the most overrated person in football. He was hated at the time for being a glazer puppet. We had the infamous "no value in the market" under Gill. Gill allowed Chelsea and City to grow by keeping United underinvested and allowing them to win titles they wouldn't have if United matched their spending.
Gill retired when he found out Ferguson was retiring. Not sure where you got your story from
@@MrJeffHeadGill wasn't given the money by the club to invest..
@@anthonyguiness9 agreed, the orginial Glazer puppet. Name a midfielder United signed after 2008 despite crying out for one. Our recruitment was crap from 2008 onwards not 2013 onwards.
Changes ok, but spending millions on an injury prone CB in De Ligt, when you do not have unlimited funds, is kinda dumb still. We just had Varane in the same exact mold. It sounds to me as INEOS either gave ETH a bit of slack and saif ok we will get your guy if you really want it, or they still dont have no clue and rely on ETH completely. This transfer window might be just one more step into the depth of our struggles. It looks like it so far imo. Get those 20 to 25 year old players who wants to get to the next step. There are dozens of them that we can actually get in the squad.
One of the key patterns under Woodward was signings like Maguire and AWB. If you're going to give in and pay the higher price, then at least do it early. Bringing in players last minute always put the player under extra pressure and less time to bed in. Even Fellaini, regardless of how you rate him, United could've brought him in earlier at a lower cost due to a £23m. Instead, they paid more on the last day of the season and ramped up the pressure, same as Maguire.
The times they are a changing!
Why the Glazer's gone?
Would love to see a scouting report on potential up and comers in our academy what weve got to look forward to.
Cheers for the vid ste
4:43 "Mfkr, that won't buy a half of Harry Maguire" 😂 legend
The succession plan was non existant when Furguson left and it mirrors almost exactly what happened when Busby retired. Both of them retired leaving aging teams full of issues in the dressing. Busbies team ended up getting relegated and spent years in the wilderness and had a succession of managers the only difference is since Furguson left we did not get relegated but have spent years in the wilderness. Hopefully things are getting sorted but it will not be quick.
I agree totally, BUT , I do believe AWB was worth the price we payed, he's one of the best one on one defenders I've ever seen and he was really improving with his attacking play too , until he got injured and Dalot took over that position. I honestly think he could be world class in a year or so.
Wan bissaka is bang average mate.Apart from 1 v 1 defending every other aspect of his game is not top 6 six worth.
Poor positioning, no interceptions, lack of concentration, offside trap liability, getting caught by crosses in behind, no build up play from the back, can't cross, can't shoot, terrible decision making, no final ball, can't dribble, can't carry, short long and mid range passing is abysmal, not press resistant, too stiff, inconsistent 😢
Only idiots say he's an exceptional 1v1 defender. He's awful at some aspects of 1v1 defending such as aerial duels, tracking his mans runs, judging flight of the ball etc. What he is class at is slide tackles / stopping a man dribbling past him - that's the only aspect of 1v1 defending he excels at.
@@Doctor_Kroom it’s an opinion 🤪
@@Doctor_Kroom100% agree
Many need to understand that these new additions will not be doing the same jobs, and each will have their individual roles to play in, hopefully bringing the best to United
Love your work Ste, that being said I'm not gonna pat Ineos on the back for things that should have been done already. And then there is the fact that the Glazer's ran the club into the floor and Jim says yeah I wanna help them . A hard no from me. Also 250 jobs cut but Joel Glazer still hires private jets for fa cup. Feels the same to me
Couldn’t agree more I’ve seen Man U getting rinsed when signing players
Alongside recruitment the most important thing is the academy. We produce lots of players but only one or two make it into the first team. Welbeck Rashford Greenwood McTominay, The Academy is a revenue stream not a realistic route to the first team.
As Radcliffe said. First, sort the environment, only then can the people within that environment, thrive.
We have no bench. We need to do something crazy like singing a handful of players from the Championship just to bolster the squad.
The Glazers have let INEOS in to be the acceptable face of stripping the club to its bare bones. That’s what Ratcliffe does. There won’t be the type of investment to compete with City. He’ll strip back the running costs and push for a Super League. That way they can pull in cash without significant investment in players and the stadium. INEOS’s track record in football is woeful.
Why is no one talking about this? Instead there talking about a new tunnel at old Trafford, I thought it was a new roof we needed. Fml
@@oldmickymicky He’s a British billionaire with a knighthood. That buys him some leeway. INEOS have also started timing their actions to get buried in the news cycle.
Spinazolla is on Bosman, so maybe 3rd leftback option for free on 1 year contract?
Look at Reijnders at Milan. Had ETH never heard of him?
On the Real Madrid comparison related to recruitment I think that's a touch unfair. The culture at Madrid is just better than United right now. Their culture is we win La Liga and the Champions League. So players are almost forcing their way into that squad. Nobody "wants" to come play at United right now. INEOS is changing the culture and that's going to be huge!
"Differences between Glazers and Ineos are night and day"...tbd Ste. Chasing long term negotiations for Todibo (should have seen the issue coming), De Ligt (price and injury questions), Branthwaite (typcial United and English and PL tax), Zirkzee (agent fee BS) and loads of desd weight on roster still with no difficult out sells posted. Also, notice Sancho best game with Dortmund he was on the .... Right side 😂
Your suggestion about dealing with Sancho would not work. Clear he made it out he was not coachable or willing. And playing rashford on the right would never have went well. You also have that rashford played unreal of the left that season. We cud have played amad but he didn't look ready at time. But we definitely should have looked somewhere other than antony
Next year ETH upfront are Rashford, Anthony and Hujland...2 goals in first five matches...
Garnacho, Amad, zirkzee, bruno
Fosu Mensah had a fant6astic break through in the season went out on loan to Palace the following and was benched by AWB and AWB was the best Rb in the premier league that season and he's still the best Rb in the league, perhaps there are others that are better at crossing the ball but do we need to rely on him as our creative output, which is at least 7/10 anyway.
Fosu Mensah is not good enough. Wan bissaka is bang average mate. Apart from 1 v 1 defending every other aspect of his game is not top 6 six worth.
Poor positioning, no interceptions, lack of concentration, offside trap liability, getting caught by crosses in behind, no build up play from the back, can't cross, can't shoot, terrible decision making, no final ball, can't dribble, can't carry, short long and mid range passing is abysmal, not press resistant, too stiff, inconsistent 😢
@@Doctor_Kroom He's actually very good at all of the things you are saying he can't do to be honest - Fosu Mensah left the club a while ago.
@@Doctor_Kroomwan Bissaka has improved massively this past season. And played a critical role in us winning the FA Cup. For me the RB is not an area in need of improvement this year.
Di Maria was a wrong one. But Noone cudve ever imagined Pogba doing the way he did.
Pogba was world class when we signed him, his price at the time was justified, however what happened afterwards is what makes his pricetag much worse.
The flying sound is really irritating mate
Has the swoosh noises always been in these videos ?
Kambwalla needs game time. And Martinez can mould him into a very good player.
Hello Stephen. if you see this and I really hope you do. A PLAYER TOO LOOK AT, ANTONIO NUSA ,Club Bruges, 19 year norwegian winger, 15 -25 euros, just say, he will probably be and 80 +mill player ,just say. Og the Players that was signed under Ole ,Iàm pretty shure that the only Players Ole wanted, was Bruno ( a window too late) and Sancho (a season to late ).the other players he just had to take.Ole was never really backed , and when signed Ronaldo behind his back, they destroyed everything he was trying to achive. Look at thee stats og Players who scored before Ronaldo was signed ,goal differense, style og play, and also destroyed some of the Players belive in themselves. Ronaldo, wrong player bad time.
We have signed
Amad
Antony
Sancho
Pellistri within 2-3 years.
Anybody in the comments blaming ten Hag is crazy.
They have got one. That's the truth. Suites not boots
Another winger ? we have got 3 left and 4 right wingers present at the club at the moment....A LB couple of CB and a DB would get us started for the season....LB - Rayan Aït-Nouri
It’s not ETH job to scout and decide transfer policy, but that is the power he demanded to join. About half the blame absolutely lies with him.
Agreed. I don’t blame him fully for Antony £85m etc, but he’s an element that is part of the problem. That said he shouldn’t be sacked just yet
The reason he wanted control was because of the failures in recruitment before him. At Ajax, he didn't have a perfect relationship with the recruitment staff, but he trusted them to do their job. I would never trust the recruitment staff that made Maguire the most expensive defender ever, and they still failed him. They negotiated for Antony and now ETH must take the blame for the club overpaying.
@@sanele4780 i dont think ETH should take blame for the club overpaying on Antony. As was reported - Antony was identified as a primary target as early as June. Its on Murtough/Arnold to complete the deal - not ETH. Hence its Murtough/Arnolds fault that they decided to wait until deadline day to mess about and complete the deal.
While you are right to say ETH is right to not trust Murtough/Arnold etc, it begs the question why he didnt request actual support in their place during his job interview process.
I mean, if i was being interviewed for the utd job - i would be saying to them i want Arnold and Murtough nowhere near recruitment, and that i (as coach/manager) only want minimal involvement in recruitment myself, as recruitment is not my job title/specialty - so what i need is for you to hire an Ashworth/Wilcox/Villek etc who is trustworthy to carry out recruitment and negotiations for me.
The fact ETH did not request this support from the start is on him.
@@samwize28
Again.
This is one issue cut in half. Paying that much for Antony is absolutely on decision makers and negotiators. Wanting to sign Antony ... full stop ... is ETH blame. I dont care if we could have got him for 25m. That would still be 20m too much.
@@sanele4780
ETH doesn't have to take the blame for the club overpaying. That is the clubs fault and their lack of spine.
Its half ETH fault for wanting Antony in the first place. As I said to Sam (see other comment) dont care if we could have got him earlier for 25m. That still would have been too much.
"and that brings us to the here and now" comes 14.30 mins in. What a depressing video
The players we are linked with are going to hugely improve our squad. First aim is to get back in the top 4. You have to start somewhere. Anyone thinking we should be buying 100m players is deluded, I think Utd are making huge improvements everywhere. It seems like a great start from Ineos.
we have had our underpants pulled down to many times
So many red flags with this De Ligt signing.
I’m betting United will sell the naming rights to Old Trafford to Qualcomm .. Qualcomm owns Snapdragon .
Prefer Snapdragon, other name is shite innit 😂
Doesn't even matter who they sell it to at this point. Just get it done and let's progress as a club.
@@SuperHarl007 Yes Sir !
Is it not pathetic that we are even discussing this. Selling our soul so the owners can profit, just a con man pulling wool over our eyes, it's all snake oil
“Unskilled cowards” 😂😂😂
THey need to end the idea of transfers. You play to end of your contract and then negotiate. No player is worth millions in a transfer. No one is sooooooooooo good that it is worth it.
W
United's scouting network is mediocre. Whatever list of files they may have in their office is useless, since all they buy are obvious, open, transfer listed, aging and discarded or declining talent - full of injuries on *RECORD* (aka Varane).
The last time United's scouting network worked was Ruud, maybe Stam, or say Forlan (who did well when he moved on, but he was great, everyone knows that). THey also found Pogba... then something happened and it all imploded. WTH happened...? I still remember, I was perplexed when they found Javier Hernandez... but it worked out, gave us something we didn't have (poacher)... and suddenly, we are doing 80 mil on Maguire... freakin Maguire...
It was 800 RBs they said they scouted wasn’t it?? There’s not even 800 pro-RBs playing in Europe
They won't just scout in Europe they scout worldwide there is thousands of rbs
Don’t watch if wearing headphones!!
Love the show but those sound effects when pictures get phased in and out of shot are so annoying. Sounds like Jonny bravo’s movement sound effects
Yo what's wrong with Johnny bravo??? Oh pretty mama
@@oldmickymicky you’re right man, his name should never be taken in vain!
We could have signed trippier for 20 million instead and he’d have run from his house in bury to sign
Dialo + Sancho + Antony = 200M on right wingers 😭🤦🏻♂️
How it is you guys are just realizing this now? Pls spare us the criticisms. It might seem like what INEOS is doing is the right way, but the results will essentially set it apart from the previous approach in terms of what's right.
In my belief Antony will play better with Dalot in position at RB instead of playing out of position at LB. They both speak Portuguese and can communicate better while playing. AWB is not a RB that drives forward very well so Antony has no help.
Thing is Garnacho absolutely benefits from having AwB behind him because he has to track back that much lesser as compared to Dalot because AwB can handle tricky wingers and overlapping fullbacks and close their lanes down Better than Dalot can... There's games in which you need some Wild cards to combat other wild card players...
Anthony and dalot have played most games together on the right and Anthony has been poor all season. Dalot has only played a few games at leftback because wan bissaka was injured. It is Lindelof, reguilon, wan bisakka and amrabat that have been played at leftback.
Stop making excuses for Anthony.
Were Antony and Casemiro so bad last season because of the age old second season syndrome 🤔
Title checks out. No need to watch the video because I know with absolute certainty that it will not contain anything we need to know and nothing will be "revealed".
Onana,
dalot, yoro/branthwait, de ligt/martinez, shaw,
martinez/ugarte, mainoo
Bruno
Rashford, hojlund, garnacho
Dream team 🤞
This video is just ramblings about the past failures, sadly
You want another 8 ahead of a LB? Seriously? Mount, McTominay, Mainoo already play there, Bruno being played further back sometimes. We have 7 wingers and you want another. We have one CDM whose legs are gone and 2 LBs who were both injured the entire season. Only one number 9. Let’s complete numbers (obviously with quality), get some wingers out of the door and then think about the rest
Howsen I thought you lost half of your finger tips ? When did they grow back

I'm a bit worried about the women's team. I want the women's team to have significant investment as well.
Only thing I can think of is- are they focussing on success within the men's team which will filter down more money down to the women's team? (I have no idea just trying to understand their potential plans)
You have to get your money maker right first
"Investment " implies there will be a return on the outlay!!
There won't be,
What you really mean is you want the mens team to subsidise the female team.
It's about time if women want true equality like all the "feminists " are asking for they go out & find they're own sponsorship deals to help run they're so called "professional " players/teams.
The men's team is more important. Sort that first and the rest will follow
Because the women’s team is such a massive revenue generator ye?
Stop virtue signalling
United are in no way close to get top talent to the club with the current state of training facilities, stadium and overall standards at the club. Maybe in 5 years time can there be a turnaround. Football players have come to Untied in the past 10-15 years to turned into total crap. And any footballer that actually wants to win something - will have multiple better choices to make a better career than at United.
Too early to say, they've replaced some backroom staff with some good names. Looking at the De Ligt transfer is there much difference between Ineos and woodward paying potentially 250k - 300k p/w for De Ligt. Before someone comments how we're magically going to get him for 120k p/w, you couldn't name 5 players in the prem that have had a -£100k paycut to join a team, it's just cope.
We spent this season, flirting with sacking ETH and replacing him with southgate and filled his team with a bunch of panic loans: Weghorst, Arambat etc.
There hasn't been any movement of selling some of Ole's underperforming team that have been here for years. Scott Mctominay, AWB etc.
Back to De Ligt if he doesn't workout, it's just another (injury prone superstar) OR (aging superstar) name you're stuck with on silly wages (Potentially)
It's very early days, and mistakes will be made. But i hope you're right Ste, cause i'm not that optimistic right now, but when things settle that might change.
Agree that mistakes will be made but I don’t recognise the need to be pessemistic.
I wouldn’t go as far as saying everything is going to be amazing from here on out and we have a world class setup. But what I would say, without a doubt in my mind, is that there will be a huge improvement across the board at the club going forwards.
Whether that improvement is of such that we win the Prem/CL consistently remains to be seen.
@@samwize28 I wouldn't say i'm pessemistic. More neutral, It's Ineos job to prove to us fans they know how to run a football club. That is too early to tell.
@@connorboswell5911 even a neutral stance seems strange to me.
We have gone from Woodward/Arnold/Murtough to Blanc/Brailsford/Berrada/Ashworth/Wilcox/Villeck. Does it need explaining how this is a clear and tangible upgrade?
We have gone from zero plans with stadium/training facilities to an active feasibility study on Old Trafford, formal plans for carrington, and short term stadium upgrades as we speak. Again, how is this anything but a step in the right direction?
I only see our current position as better than where we were 12 months ago. The question is - are we now in a better position than our rivals are to mount a sustained title challenge within the next X number of years?
Its entirely safe to be optimistic/excited. The question is HOW optimistic/excited should we get.
@@samwize28 I give a fuck about the team and football results. I don't give a shit about more bureaucracy.
I don't care about the stadium, i care that southgate never touches the management positon at utd. (which nearly happened).
Have you ever worked at a high level coporation, where they start adding consultants and headhunting people. It's not always a good improvement.
You don't need to explain anything to me. It's called a different opinion.
@@connorboswell5911
1) do you understand that football results depends on the strength of recruitment? Would you not agree that improving recruitment improves the football?
2) do you understand that professional and experienced transfer gurus (i.e. Villeck/Wilcox/Ashworth/Berrada) are better at recruitment than bankers (arnold)? If you disagree that these new guys are better please explain. Explain how woodward/arnold are no worse than them.
3) do you realise that better quality stadium/facilities helps attract better players? This one is pretty basic. Have you ever had a job interview in a building thats falling apart?
4) Southgate nearly happened? When did this happen? The only information i can see on this is that Ashworth and Southgate are mates. Since when does having a mate automatically equate to nearly hiring that mate? Am i missing something?
5) Yes i have worked at a high level corporation, and yes i agree that change isnt always an improvement. But that does not mean that Ashworth and co are not a clear and obvious upgrade on Murtough and co. To exaggerate a point to make a point - its like replacing Liz Truss with a qualified political leader and saying ''lets not get carried away lads, change doesn't always make things better''.....
6) Actually yes, it does seem like i need to explain some things to you pal, you clearly dont even understand how basic recruitment structures and strategy works.
People act like Madrid aren’t paying insane wages and bought a couple players for 100 mil
2nd
If you look at Stephen for long enough, he looks like Wayne rooney.
Man Utd are now dumpster diving, its pathetic, we cannot sign world class players anymore. We have to rebuild from grass roots. it's going to take YEARS
