Man United’s Pathetic Payday from Carreras’s Real Move
Man United are set to pocket some cash from Alvaro Carreras’s move to Real Madrid. But let’s not kid ourselves—this isn’t a windfall. It’s a pittance compared to what they should be earning if they had any sense in the transfer market.
Carreras, now Real Madrid’s fourth summer signing, is a player United let slip through their fingers. Typical. They had him, and now they’re left with crumbs from the table. It’s a classic case of poor management and lack of foresight. United’s board and scouts should hang their heads in shame.
The club’s been living off past glories for too long. They need to wake up and realize that smart clubs are making moves while they’re stuck in the past. Carreras is a talent, and United should have done more to keep him or at least negotiate a better deal. Instead, they’re left with a small percentage of the transfer fee.
This isn’t a victory for United. It’s a reminder of their incompetence. They should be embarrassed that they’re celebrating a minor financial gain from a player they couldn’t hold onto. It’s time for United to stop being a laughingstock and start acting like the big club they claim to be.
The fans deserve better. They deserve a club that knows how to manage its assets and doesn’t rely on handouts from other teams’ successes. Carreras’s move to Real Madrid is just another example of United’s failure to capitalize on their own talent.
In the end, this isn’t about how much United will earn from Carreras’s move. It’s about how much they’ve lost by not having him in their squad. The club needs to get its act together, stop making excuses, and start delivering results on and off the pitch. Enough is enough.
