Ronaldo called it out when he noted it was all the same training facilities as ten years before.
Every other major team has been spending hundreds of millions for new shiny training facilities.
United have the transfer money of the biggest team in the world but its clear thats all they invest it. Every less visible part of the club is in ruins. Training, stadium, staff, scouting, its all aged and out of date.
So they get these players and without the same level of care and training as other clubs they fall off.
Hes not the one who cheated, he is part of the cheating.
Pep is one of the best managers in the world. Thats why man city need to cheat the money so they can afford the best.
Its like haaland. He still scored all those goals, even if the finances used to build the team were unfair.
