Player Valuation: £80m
Once you give a player that much cash it's going to be Christmas for them. Short term deal, end of career, zero chance of winning anything with ole at the wheel.

Is it really £300k a week?

Yes, and that’s why it’s not worth it.
No centre half. They’re screwed. Well unless they manage to wangle 2 pens a game and make it seem like Ole is a super sensational manager

He's a great striker. Good purchase I reckon. I wouldn't have minded seeing him pitch up at Goodison but not for that salary.

He was more of a poacher. He worked really hard for the team but there are a lot of mile on the clock.

Cavani the new Falcao?
They were already relatively strong in the forward line with Rashford, Greenwood and Martial, other areas are the problem.
Defence always was by far their weakest point, the central positions especially. While Maguire has been poor his partners have been a level or seven worse than that. Smalling not the greatest on the ball but possibly better than what they have at defending was let go and no centre back signed. The purpose of the transfer window is to concentrate on and strengthen your weakest points, centre half being the obvious one. Strengthening where you're already strong means your weakest points will still undermine you.
Telles a full back will replace Shaw, who tbh isn't the worst player - that's not really achieving the desired results.
Liverpool a season or three ago, were decent but always undermined by their weakest points, the centre backs in Lovren and Matip and the goalkeepers in Mignolet and the calamity that was Karius. They made strengthening their weakest points the priority, not attack but centre half and keeper. Van Dijk and Alisson transformed them into something nearing unbeatable, they didn't target strikers what's the point! United have signed a striker, hopeless.
The window has been a total mess for United, Cavani won't keep any goals out he won't shore up the weakest parts, it smacks of a big name last minute panic, the guy had been available on a free for weeks, perhaps his age, almost 34 and wages meant he wasn't wanted elsewhere.
He's been a top player in the highest bracket and will add experiences and winning mentality but he won't make them harder to beat, less vulnerable or more likely to do well. They have to target their signings to address the biggest weaknesses, it's common sense.
A poor, poor window, no leadership, no direction, no plan

Bolded> they are forwards but Man U didn't have any striker, a slotter for a loong time, Cavani will provide that. But I agree they have no plan and panic buying often

About priorities and stopping conceding goals seems far more of one to me
