Darren Fletcher has suggested that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s rebuilding of Manchester United will take time and has criticized the “short-termism” of some supporters.
A portion of United fans have grown increasingly frustrated with the club’s transfer policy, with only one arrival so far in the summer window.
Donny van de Beek scored on his debut for the Red Devils, but that came in a 3-1 home loss to Crystal Palace in their first Premier League game.
Former player Patric Evra criticized Old Trafford bosses for their actions at the window, claiming there was an “arrogant” element to their dealings.

In a lengthy spiel on social media, he said: “When we want a player and it costs, say, £ 20 million, we end up trying to buy him for £ 100 million. Now those players don’t even want our money.
“A sports director for a major football club called me and asked me to tell Matthew Judge to answer his phone.
“The club must stop being so arrogant. There are certain people in the club right now who don’t even respect Sir Alex Ferguson.”
But Evra’s former teammate Fletcher, who appeared as part of Sky Sports coverage of United’s Carabao Cup clash with Luton, said he’d be happy with the window, as long as Solskjaer’s input was relied upon. .

“As long as the board is listening and trusting Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, I am happy with what the transfer market looks like for the next few weeks,” he said before starting on Kenilworth Road.
Despite the loss to Palace, Solskjaer made 10 changes to the game with the Hatters, a clear sign to Fletcher that he will not panic in his quest to rebuild the playing team.
He added: “Too many [Utd] the fans are short-term and reactionary. Ole would have picked this lineup before the Palace game and is glued to his guns. For him, it’s a long term. “
