Manchester United's sluggish start to the season (in attack at least) is leaving Eamon Dunphy feeling characteristically underwhelmed. He delivered some headline comments on the 2FM Game On programme about the men steering the Manchester United operation.
Louis Van Gaal is a common or garden 'spoofer' who is 'making it up as he goes along'. Ed Woodward resembles a wide eyed kid who has been 'sent into O'Connell Street' and asked 'to find his way across the road.'
He is a marketing man and they have given him the job as head of one of the biggest sporting organisations in the world. It's like sending a kid into O'Connell Street and asking him to find his way across the road.
On the playing corps, he is hopeful for Januzaj, but ultimately deems him a touch 'lightweight' at present. He was less positive about new boy Memphis Depay.
The new player Memphis is okay in the Champions League but he is raw. He is a million miles from becoming a top player. He wouldn't get into Manchester City's reserve team.
As for Schweinsteiger, Dunphy says Manchester United essentially gave Munich a present of €20 million for an old man whose engine is not the shape it once was.
He wouldn't get in Bayern Munich's team, he only played 15 times last season. He is clearly struggling to get around the pitch...
