Under SAF Man Utd managed to change the spine of the team on a number of occasions due to Fergie being able to recognise when a particular player had done all he could for the club or when him leaving would benefit the club in other ways. Everyone thought they would struggle when Cantona went, but they didn't, they said the same about Beckham leaving and then Ronaldo but he was able to reinvent them time after time. Thats what they are missing.
Chelsea simply did not improve on their team in the summer. They over achieved last season and for whatever reason bought no one of any note. As the old adage goes, you always improve a winning team!! They are producing some very good youngsters but they rarely bring any through to the first team. Their next manager needs to be someone who will develop a team to win the title rather than try to buy a team. Mourinho was never going to do that but he never stays anywhere long enough to leave a legacy team.
