Joe Cole, former Chelsea star, spoke about Manchester United’s summer transfer business, expressing his concern about its potential impact on the club’s progress. He was analyzing United’s current standing and the effectiveness of their recent signings under the Ineos era.
Joe Cole said “set them back by a year”
Cole further discussed his view on the quality of players in the Manchester United squad and the challenges they face in acquiring top-tier talent. His comments addressed the club’s position in the football hierarchy and the necessity for strategic improvements in upcoming transfer windows.
Joe Cole said “There are so many players in that Manchester United team that I don’t think can take them where they want to go. They can’t miss in the next transfer windows; they need to get players that can play for this United squad. They won’t get the top players – they won’t want to go to Manchester United. Manchester United are not eating at the top table – that’s just a fact.”
