I was so thrilled when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was hired as the permanent manager of Manchester United but it only tapered the cracks that have been gradually widening. It is absolutely shocking how business as it relates to the football side is conducted. They have allowed players' contracts to run down because they want to save money. Instead of negotiating a new contract, they agree to a 1 year extension. This kind of action indirectly signals to the player that we, the board want to save every cent before we agree to your contract extension.This can affect team morale because the squad of players could interpret that the board only care about their profit margins rather than the players' welfare. That is bad by itself but when they prioritize to which players get new contracts is even more shocking. What have Ashley Young, Chris Smalling and Phil Jones done to deserve new contracts. It can't be that they were with the club for a long time. That is a small club mentality. You know who is more deserving? Ander Herrera and David De Gea. They may end up leaving. Just shocking! I don't know if the board is to be blamed or the Chief Executive Ed Woodward but somebody at the administration level, has no idea how to run a football club. Manchester United are a laughing stock to the football world, banter for days! I hope that a Director of Football can be hired to run the football business of the club and let good ole Ed conduct the business side
