Not really. Business people like him can get very low interest rates. Man Utd as a brand will likely keep growing, new TV/streaming rights in the next few years, a new stadium etc. He’ll easily make his money back and more.

Not really. It’s like any business investment - if you can loan at a reasonable rate against a solid asset and invest in something you think will garner larger returns then you’ll do it. His view could well be that the injection of cash will give rise to more rapid returns at a higher yield rather than a passive investment. Just large scale private equity investment. NB - not saying this is what he’s doing, but it wouldn’t be particularly strange if he was. edit - what stifler said quicker than me Edited May 30, 2024 by PRL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted May 30, 2024 Share Posted May 30, 2024 If that's what he's doing, and he's going to grow the profile of the club quicker and sell, then happy days. It benefits the club either way IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPL Posted May 30, 2024 Share Posted May 30, 2024 When we are talking injuries, why are we just limiting it to just in defense. In addition, Manchester United have had their 1st choice keeper practically the whole season. Everyone knows we have had the worse injuries this season. We literally played Sean Longstaff and Miley for like 7-8 consecutive games in CM because there were no other options. Yes they have had their fair share of injuries but to say theirs is worse than ours is laughable on numerous factors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they have had their fair share of injuries but to say theirs is worse than ours is laughable on numerous factors. And we had to play McTominay and Mainoo because Casemiro and Mount were injured, which is the same thing as having to play Longstaff/Miley but looks like it worked out for us simply because Mainoo is incredible. If Miley was even half as good as Mainoo I doubt we'd even discuss this. We going to pretend like Howe doesn't love Longstaff anyway? There was no area of your team that was devastated anywhere near as much as our defence was which is why it's the topic on hand. I could be wrong, but I believe nobody on your team all year had to play out of position. You always had a player available in their recognised position. We had defensive midfielders at centre back, defensive midfielders at left back, wingers at striker. Jesus Christ we even had to play Antony at left back at one point. We had the most separate injuries. We had the most individual players injured. We had the most players out injured in a single gameweek. And the "minutes lost" table that people will inevitably share doesn't include players who were injured before the season starts, so add on 3000+ for Malacia and we'll top that list too. Your injuries, while bad, were not worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy days for us, 3 seasons in and they don’t have a distinct style of play other than counter attacking like some bottom half of the table side.

I’m actually not concerned about them, it’s more of a morbid interest. We’ve been better than them for 2 years now and I’m not seeing the dysfunctional nature changing for them at present.
