As far as I remember Fergie pretty much had him out of the door his last season. Rooney was already turning1) Rooney was right. He should have left . Wasted prime years. He was done by 29
2) They also allow Fergie to pick his replacementI understand he a legend and all. But you're retiring. Why did they allow him to pick his replacement? And Moyes at that.
3) Klopp was available but they procrastinated on sacking Van Gaal and went with Mourinho. .
4) Looking at the amount of money the club spent in the following years. I'm surprised Woodward is still in charge of transfers. The worst part is, it's not like the scouting department is trash. They recommended a lot of players. For some reason, the club never went out to get them.

Then Moyes came in and did what he did


As far as Woodward goes I'm sure after he fukks this transfer window up he'll again release a story how United is looking for a DoF and then go back to business as usual.
