No? I just find it slightly funny how United fans spent season and after season deriding City/Chelsea for 'buying' their way to success and now United are doing the exact same thing in a desperate attempt to get back into the top 4. Nothing wrong with it mind, let's see how the Di Maria deal plays out. Quite surprised their is no competition for him

No, the reason that happens is that Chelsea/City only ever buy players. Other than John Terry, I'm struggling to think of one youth player who is currently a first team regular for Chelsea, and I'm not even going to start on City. Over-paying for players? We invented that in the Premier League. But the thing is, we mostly paid high for excellent youth prospects (if you exclude RvP, Mata in recent times), and we almost always had our youth players in the mix for first team football.
Chelsea/City NEVER give youth a chance (I'm not going into reasons, for whatever causes), which is why they're called so. And only United fans? I know many Liverpool fans, Newcastle and West Ham fans who'd also say the same thing.
I don't see how it's related in any way whatsoever. United fans have criticized Chelsea/City for the longest time for 'buying' their way to success even though that's the fastest way to get into the Top 4 and now United are doing the exact same thing. I struggle to see why youth players has anything remotely to do with the point I was making
Nonetheless, Yes United did integrate Youth prospects but that's also because they had an incredible manager who had managed to attain unprecedented success and therefore, had the time and freedom to integrate youth players without facing the risk of a sacking if things don't go well. Let's see how many youth prospects are integrated this season as now LVG knows he is walking on a thin line and he might get the sack if he fails to get United into the top 4
Also how many youth players at Chelsea/City can you name that would have gotten into the CFC time if given time. The only one I can think of is Matic and Chelsea realised their mistake and bought him back. None of the rest of the youth players that Chelsea let go would have made it into the Chelsea team so it's pretty narrow-minded to keep regurgitating the same line that Chelsea never give youth a chance. It's also only been 3-4 seasons since Chelsea upgraded their youth facilities to truly world-class standards and these processes take time. You can't suddenly expect the next John Terry to pop out of nowhere

We fielded way more than you in the first competitive game alone.
Thats because you barely have any good players. Something which you have repeatedly had a meltdown over
LVG and United has a record with youth though and they shall continued to be integrated even if we buy 3 more players.
Yeah well we will see ... Top 4 is the priority at United and everyone including LVG is well aware of that. Also you completely ignored my last paragraph within my initial post
If you want to moan about FFP then go do it, but fact is most clubs agreed to it.
And now we are seeing all it's harmful implications. If you are strong advocate that clubs should only spend what the earn, that's fine but then we would probably see United winning the EPL year after year easily and make the EPL a one-team league. Excellent for you but **** for everyone else
It's like saying that I spend the money that my dad earned whereas you spend the money that your dad won from the lottery and that somehow makes my spending more 'morally pure'. It's still spending one way or another
How? It's aimed to protect clubs not harm them.... this is the biggest ever summer transfer window of spending.... what did Shane Long just go for to a mid-table club? I think you're moaning for moanings sake when you don't really know anything about it.
More like, we spend the money we earnt on our own merit. You're more like the annoying, preppy Cambridge going toff who thinks he's the dog's bollocks because his Dad's a lawyer.
I already showed you how it harms them. Why do you think no one wants to buy Aston Villa despite Randy Lerner being desperate to sell? It's because they know that their is absolutely no potential for them to do anything with the club. They can't spend their way to the top anymore because of FFP. They will have to grow organically which will take years!
The gap between the big and small clubs have just widened and we will likely see the same few big games at the top now. Advocating that clubs should only spend what they earn is just entrenching the big clubs further at the top and making them
more dominant
What does Shane Long have to do with this? It isn't like buying him has made the Saints world beaters and they were flush with cash anyways due to their summer sales

Spin it any way you like. It's still spending at the end of the day. No one wants to see United winning the title year after year and make the EPL a one-team league
You seem to oscillate between United aren't ever going to win a game again without UCL, and United are unbeatable because of FFP. There is a middle ground that doesn't rely on hyperbole, you know?
