The Cardiff boss wonders how long it will take Sunday's opponents to catch the Premier League's current top two teams
Over £400 million ($521m) has been spent on players since Moyes’ sacking and Warnock feels current manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s tenure will be judged on how well his signings perform.
Speaking ahead of Cardiff’s trip to United on Sunday, Warnock said: “He (Solskjaer) will be judged on the signings he makes and how much money they spend, because they have wasted a lot of money.
"I was listening to David Moyes last week at some stage... are they any better off than when David was there? And they've spent about £400m since then.
"You've got to have a structure where you try and sign the best players that can be available for your job to actually move the club forward. It does seem that over the past few years, I'm not sure how much thought has gone into some of the signings.
"It might take - people say two or three windows - I think it could be 10 years.
"I can't see them catching the two top clubs up for another four or five years. But I think they will."
Several expensive signings that United have made failed to make the desired impact upon joining the club, including the likes of Angel Di Maria and Alexis Sanchez, while others such as Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku have been inconsistent.
United are currently 29 points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City, and 28 points behind arch-rivals Liverpool, which shows just how big a challenge Solskjaer and his Red Devils face in trying to close the gap to the top two.
The best result United can hope to get from this season is a fifth-place finish in the league, but that depends on Arsenal failing to beat Burnley and Solskjaer’s men being able to take all three points from Cardiff at Old Trafford on Sunday.

shutup this is such a harsh and cruel comment look at the poor team he had and put a right back in striker position cuz the others were injured and look at the sad incidents that happened to his team its a really tough time for them . He is not blazing United he saying a matter of fact , he is right we spent too much on nonsense players!

Man United need new faces and young talents that they are hungry for success and not players with such huge wages and don't even cost a penny.!!

Why u r so much obsessed with winning and not enjoying your team play,the way u have recruited clearly shows u have no strategy for next 5-6 years,only focusing on those who played well in their first.Didn't you feel jealous of Salah,De Bruyne,that if u had given them opportunity and let them made mistake to improove,u would have been different team now You loaned out Bakoyoko,Zouma,Michy after bad start and they may become another De Bruyne,Salah Your fans have got no patience,your transfer strategy clearly shows u want instant success ,likes of Zouma,u always fails to nurture your young talent.
yup, I don't regret those. Not at all.

With united not qualifying for ucl next season, we will ahe problem signing quality players as most players we prefer champions league to europa, but I feel we need to secure these players to boost our team to ensure we will be able comeback stronger. 1. De ligt - yes pple may thk unitedis not the best place for him cos we will be playing Europa next season, yes but just a year at europa won't harm his career. At united, he is guaranteed playing time and das the best for him to reach the highest standard he is meant for. 2. Bissaka will be a better choice to replace valencia and young considering his age and ability and he can be signed for not more than 40m 3. Partey is the defensive midfielder we dearly need as he can be aggressive wen needed and can score and assist as well. I wound have preferred ndombele but he is expensive at somewhere 75m which partey can be secured at just 35m 4. Bruno Fernandez is something we re missing in the team ryt now, he is a goal machine and an assist king (close to 30goals, 18assist this season). If you he can be secure for not more than 60m 5. Joao Felix, the least I say abt this guy the better, just go ahead and get this player not matter the cost.

with the current situation of the EPL it will take MU about another ten years to be dominant again, if they follow this idea of nurturing English players. or might not even be up there again just like Arsenal. just get a good coach give him what he wants back him up over and over like Man city and Liverpool build on his philosophy and see the difference. that's what current football requires.
Ha ha ha very emotional point of view

Doing the same thing over and over expecting a difference is the real definition of insanity.... All the previous coaches been signing already made talents including old talents which are looking forward to add more money in their accounts but this time a bit of some changes have been made... Instead of signing already made talents which keeps on bringing us back to the drawing board the system has changed so this time change will be seen in the club
Since young players are the most ones on the signing list

Woodward needs to resign as do the owners the club is so way down its embarrassing
I disagree with you,he's the man who can alone bring in the kind of money man u gets through merchandising, so I support he brings in a technical director and face business alone
