Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish has defended Manchester United's spending spree. Dalglish disagrees with critics who claim United have lost their identity with the cash splurge.
He wrote in the Mirror: "I don't go along with the idea that United have somehow lost their identity by spending big money on their new signings.
"I'm sure Louis van Gaal would have loved to carry on with the youth policy but was obviously concerned the young players were generally not ready to put pressure on the more experienced ones.
"By turning to the tried and tested, the manager is giving the kids plenty of time to develop.
"In fact, if United have lost their identity anywhere, it's been in their failure to maintain their aggression going forward.
"United always used to be about 'attack, attack, attack'. We haven't seen it recently."
