Then I think as time went on, I started to come along to the agreement that Skinner was doing a very, very good job of just making sure United didn't bottom out and have a truly bad season where they were way off it. voice-verified

So it's all changed right now. voice-verified

It's also another summer where United's level of investment is quite limited. voice-verified

I'm really sad that Melvin Mallard's gone to Chelsea. voice-verified

I think the fee's at £850,000, which is pretty good, but also not really... voice-verified

You'd want more. voice-verified

And you want more for a player of that quality and a lot more for a player of that dressing room character. voice-verified

And it doesn't necessarily look like that money is being used to bring in an attacking player of similar quality. voice-verified

Look, the United squad has loads of weaknesses. voice-verified

They've addressed one of them already by getting in a good backup goalkeeper as well. voice-verified

But it's, again, another... voice-verified

double your soul season where I think United are going to have to be really they're going to need a little bit of luck one of the teams above them having a bit of a mess if they want to finish in the top three again because it always feels as if whenever they come close Ineos or the Glazer family doesn't necessarily want to invest the money into that club to help them really start pushing City, Chelsea and Arsenal which is a shame so whoever comes in next good luck to them it looks like it's going to be a really hard job voice-verified

It's super tricky because there have been seasons with Man United's women's team where they haven't been loss-making. voice-verified

They've in fact turned a profit. voice-verified

But the question is, should you be having a women's team that is turning a profit in a boom period where there is more opportunity than ever to create that sort of... voice-verified

mass fandom in your local area, in your national area, so that when these girls come of age, I'm specifically talking about young women now, they want to play for Manchester United growing up instead of going, I want to play for Chelsea because Chelsea won everything. voice-verified

If you look at the men's team, a large... I support Manchester United because Eric Cantona was really, really cool and he helped Manchester United win things in the 90s. voice-verified

There is that opportunity in women's football right now that if you win quite a lot of trophies now, if you seem... voice-verified

If you are willing to take a loss, this is the good opportunity. voice-verified

This is the boom period. voice-verified
