yeah Coleman is very good, but I'm sure he'd have been very expensive. Not sure I'd want United to deal with Everton that early again after last year's fiasco. I'd rather go for Cuadrado ... sure, it's a few extra bucks, but he can play on the wing too once van Gaal wants to change to 4-3-3.
You're right, the Rojo situation is not United's fault ... 3rd party ownership is just a pain in the ass and this is just another example for it. Really hate that system. That being said, Sporting have been #######s this summer too (see the Eric Dier situation).
Nevertheless, United should have acted earlier. The Rojo situation would be easier to digest now if they had bought another defender already, but of course this hasn't happened for some reason. I'm happy that the young guys will get a chance (no surprise though, van Gaal is obviously known for that), but with Evans, Smalling and Jones being injury-prone, it's shocking that they have left their transfer business that late. Again.
