5 reasons why Manchester United are no longer the dominant force they once were

#1 Disastrous transfer windows one after the other

Fred celebrates his maiden Premier League goal with Lukaku.

The one thing that everyone can agree upon is that Manchester United are one of the biggest spenders of the European teams and that they are totally imprudent in the way they splash the cash.

There is no clear-cut transfer strategy for the Red Devils. Every summer all they do is make one big signing and one or two other signings at exorbitant prices just to make a statement.

It might work for the brand, but such a misguided transfer policy has its own consequences. Most of the big money moves were disastrous and players like Di Maria, Depay, Mkhitaryan have already left the club and players like Lindelof, Herrera and recent signing Fred find themselves struggling to secure a place in regular first-team football.

Money can only do so much. The sooner they realize the better.
