It is very unfair if you compare Man United with Chelsea this season.
I will not defend anyone but look at this,
- Enzo Maresca joined Chelsea and was able to recruit the players he wanted. Now the coach can bring Chelsea with a good appearance. That makes sense.
- While Amorim joined Man United after Ten Hag was fired. And Amorim has not brought in the players he wanted. So there is no other choice but to maintain the squad that has been compiled by the previous coach. This is clearly unfair.
In conclusion, the best result that Chelsea has achieved so far has become part of the coach's plan that is able to fight with his chosen players. And Amorim is only able to survive by rotating players perfectly to try his best in other competitions with the existing line up.
It can be shocked information if you dig and find total money spent for player transfers by Manchester United and Chelsea recent years. It's not correct to say Manchester United did not spend big money in the last summer, so their failure in this season is partially from their failures in transfer market in the last summer and previous ones too.

But it's not about how much money the two teams spend. And if you understand what I'm saying, you won't have any excuse to compare Chelsea and Man United.
Despite Man United spending big money last summer, are the new players who came in Amorim's choice?
Compared to Chelsea who spent a lot of money to buy new players who have been selected by Enzo Maresca.
Actually it is very clear that I said that statement because it is not only about money but running a squad without having the desired players is not an easy task. So for now I will not compare the two teams which I think is very unfair and it will be fairer if we compare in the next season when Amorim has the opportunity to bring in the players of his choice.
