I think Man Utd need
*GK (ready made replacement for when DDG eventually goes to Madrid): I would get
Pickford - he is an excellent long term prospect
*RB (to alternate with Tony Valence): I would get
Serge Aurier*CD: (for the inevitable defensive injury crises that Man Utd suffers): I would get
Keane back since he already knows and loves the club
*CM: Man Utd have sold 6 central midfielders in two seasons. Too much load shedding.
Rabiot would do nicely.*CF: is there a deadly
affordable free scoring CF out there somewhere? (
Mbappe or Lukaku?) Griezmann would cost so much money that it would leave nothing behind to buy other players.
*Winger: after the exits of ADM, Nani, and Zaha, (and Tony V's conversion to RB) Man Utd lack pace and trickery on the flanks. I would put in a cheeky bid for
Douglas Costa or Coman (both of whom are collecting splinters from sitting on the bench at Bayern). If Pereira comes back from loan next season, it could freshen up the attack.
Get Rid: Darmian (bang average), Zlatan (can he come back from a cruciate injury at his age?), Lingard (can run fast, but not much else), Johnny Kills (technically gifted player, lovely fella, slows down the attack), and send TFM, Tuanzebe, Januzaj, and Shaw out on loan somewhere he can get regular minutes without the pressure of Jose bullying hm every week.
Jury Still Out: Janujaz - is he a misunderstood talent? Or does he lack the mental fortitude to succeed at the top level? I'd say send him out on loan to a club that is not fighting relegation every season.
