Top Five: Clubs having a disappointing transfer window

Manchester United

Major Ins: None

Major Outs: None

Summary: Although Wilfried Zaha has joined up with the squad after his January move, it has been a window of frustration and out of character openness for United. Whether or not they actually bid on Thiago Alcantara and Kevin Strootman or not, they still missed out on them, choosing instead to focus on the much harder, if not impossible to get, Cesc Fabregas. United have made it clear that they want to support David Moyes by giving him a star player as a welcome present but they so far haven’t managed that and options are looking increasingly limited. Although they could turn to Marouane Fellaini, it probably wouldn’t look great for Moyes if he can only sign one of his ex-players. There’s also the rumbling Rooney situation which is frustrating for all involved.
