And let's face it, Woodward has had so many misses at the manager position that he absolutely needs Solskjaer to be somewhat successful. He's also a club legend, he can't just be thrown under the bus like Mourinho.

Bringing in a CB and a midfielder is absolutely necessary. It's a shame that they've left things so late yet again, but here we are.
This is very true, but the money is still an important element.

United is a big club and as such they have to pay a premium for players. Sometimes you have to splash cash, but it has to be within the context of a plan and a vision for the club as well as finding a few diamonds in the rough and getting players to improve in their roles.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
