I’ve never understood why a club Utds resources waste money on a trip abroad pre season when conditions are good in Scotland, if you are you going to do that better in winter I think, but loads of clubs do it, McLean used to take Utd to Holland, usually played a fair few games tbf. Let’s be honest though, you could have spotted Utd needed a def mid just by watching games last season, asking people close to the club, or prob 45 mins of us in action. Who knows what conversations have taken place or if we have attempted to bring someone in. Maybe Ross thought sibbald was the answer until after Alkmaar away.
