Aussie referee captures Manchester United's Palace pummeling on candid camera in EPL first

When Manchester united went out and bought Robin van Persie I thought it was a good move. Someone to complement Wayne Rooney up front and help them push for the title again.
Like most I thought they still needed a good defensive player, probably two or three to help the likes of Chris Smalling.
Then they decided that it would be a good idea if they would get another two strikers. Breaking the EPL budget on Angel Di Maria and also splashing the cash on Radamel Falcao.
So in reality they had if not the best, one of the best attacks in world football. Which was good and exciting for their supporters and for lovers of football in so many ways to see four of the best strikers in the world playing in the same team.
Yet the question was how they were all going to fit in and play together. Down the track it’s been found out they can’t. At least one of them has to sit on the bench for half of the game, which would become very frustrating for any one of these players considering the amount of talent they have.
But they still haven’t got any good defenders, while Marouane Fellaini is a defensive midfielder who can’t fit into their team. So they probably have the weakest defence in the league, which isn’t going to get them near the top two teams in the league – Chelsea and Manchester City.
And now there are rumours circulating that they have put in a huge bid for Gareth Bale. They could get three world class defenders with the money they have already wasted on one too many strikers, never mind getting Bale in as well.
The question has to be asked of the Manchester United board, do they want to be an excitement machine, or do they want to win the EPL?
