I wish Moyes had in all fairness.. sort of guy who'd struggle to pull off a skill move in Fifa Street the absolute moron.
Anyway I have said it ever since Fergie went and that was the first team needed a massive revamp and three managers down the line we are still in the same position with the first team still heavily reliant on poorly performing players from the Moyes era.
When a nothing player like Mata is lauded by the masses as a great man a great player (when this club had players like Cantona, Ronaldo) you know that standards have fallen.. he wouldn't have had a sniff of getting into our title challenging sides of yesteryear and yet he's one of the current squads biggest players and one of the very few with some brains.
I'd do the following ...
Defence
Sell De Gea for 65-70m if his heart isn't fully into being at United and reinvest in Oblak for 10-20m profit or go for a cheaper keeper or perhaps promote Romero for a season.
I'd sell Shaw/Darmian/Blind and bring in three new full backs. I'd splash the money on Semedo/Aurier and Mendy/Bernat. My third full back would be a EPL mid table or top 10 LB like Chilwell or Cresswell - someone you can rely on to cover ground and get forward well.
I'd have Valencia as cover for the right back position. Young/Rojo and third left back would provide cover for Mendy.
I'd send Tuanzebe on loan to play at either right back or CB with option to call back at any time.
I'd sell Smalling and Jones and bring in 2 CBs.. one to come in as a starter and the other as cover for injuries. Varane/Marquinhos/Giminez/Laporte... someone out of that pool and then someone like Keane as the cover for injuries.
Midfield
I'd retire Carrick. I'd sell Fellaini. I'd bring in Fabinho as a CDM, I'd try and lure a Verratti/Kroos but realistically would focus on building some depth here with maybe Carvalho, Chamberlain and Barkley/Rodriguez as squad options.
I'd sell Lingard, Mata and I'd keep Martial and give him another year to prove himself.
I'd sign Douglas Costa and look to get either Coman/Dembele/Reus/Sanchez on other flank. I'd sign Riyad Mahrez too as a squad player.
I'd not extend Zlatan contract and would sell Rooney.
Up front I'd try sign Sanchez or go all out on Lewa. If not Griezmann or even Lacazette would have been ideal. Or grab Benzema in a De Gea deal.
To summarise a massive revamp of the squad needed in my opinion and a minimum (if just looking at first XI) of 6-7 signings. If we are looking at improving squad as a whole around 10 players. That is seriously what is needed for this mediocre side to be winning leagues and being competitive in champions league otherwise forget about it.. no chance of just expecting Mourinho to turn shit into wine.
