·Why the other thread was locked before people had chance to reply with facts seemms a bit silly to me. Censoring debate is never a good thing as it stops people hearing others opinions.
So to clear a few things up here are some facts in reply to the other thread.
Before anyone says United have spent £70m+ on players the facts are they havn't actually spent £70m. ( dont forget he Glazers have spent absolutly zero pounds ).

United buy now but pay later to stay on budget
How have Manchester United, laden with £660m of debt, suddenly managed to find £71m in one summer to outspend their rivals? It's the question that some fans are asking. And the simple answer is: they haven't.
The headline figures of United's transfer window are £17m, £17m, £17m and £20m. Those are amounts United have agreed to pay for Anderson, Nani, Owen Hargreaves, and, perhaps, Carlos Tevez.
This is not the whole story. The Glazers' expenditure may be below the £25m they originally promised Sir Alex Ferguson.
How? Tevez, 23, will arrive on a two-year loan deal, and although that might cost a yearly fee of £4m to £8m, buying him outright can be deferred to a future year's accounts, if they exercise their option.
Brazil's Anderson, 19, and Portugal's Nani, 20, are being bought effectively on HP. United are understood to have paid £7m and £8m up front, and will pay the rest over the terms of the deals.
And while Hargreaves, 26, has cost a chunk up front, he became a United player only on 1 July, and the outlay falls into next year's accounts.
So instead of £70m, United have spent only £20m already.

Also take in account the amount of money that has come in from the sale of players and you'll find that we've actually spent virtually nothing at all.
