Manchester United’s transfer window was a disappointment, admits vice-chairman Ed Woodward

                             

Man Utd Vice Chairman Ed Woodward has finally admitted his failure to sign quality player in the last transfer window claiming he knew the window will be a tough one. he said,

‘It was disappointing that we didn’t sign more players, but I always knew it was going to be a tough window.’ We had a manager leaving and a manager arriving on July 1. As a club we didn’t want to impose a plan on the new manager that had come from the old manager.

‘We have a manager who we want to give our full support to make his decision about the players and the decisions about the academy. He has the same power that Alex did. The early view was that we needed a central midfielder and left-back. There wasn’t a long list of people he wanted to go after. We didn’t need to make disposals, to sell any players until the manager was absolutely clear in what he wanted to do. So we kept the players and added [Marouane] Fellaini, the first central midfielder we’ve bought in six years.’
