The truth is Man Utd don't have the pulling power they once had and players will look for better clubs with better prospects. This is not about the money being available to purchase players as players have got to want to come. Joining Man Utd is a gamble these days and players don't want to end up making a poor decision. If UTD had finished in the top 4 then things would be different, but this won't be easy as there are far better clubs to choose from. This is a rebuild and not the glory days of 10 years ago as so much has changed since then.
