If we believe what we read and Mourinho is looking at bringing in 4 players who would you go for.

Mine would be:-

Sandro
Umtiti
Savic
Leon Bailey

Realistically a combination of these 8 would be fanastic. Although I would be careful with Verratti, PSG might end up with De Gea if we tried too hard!

4th can be a good+ midfielder or a great defender.

Samuel Umtiti said he was unhappy with how defensively Barca played not too long ago, unless I've missed something that's the same as fully ruling himself out from coming to us. I'd love Raphael Varane if his injuries have stopped (on the phone, can't check) and Toby Aldererweireld is another good option.

Wouldn't mind a right winger, but we do have enough attackers of quality, it's just about giving them a better platform in my opinion, which a stable midfield and proper fullbacks would.

50m Sandro for me to
60m Jorginho the Italian Carrick? Yes please
50m Alderweireld though his injuries concern the hell out of me
90m Bale if he wants out of Madrid and is available

250m spent, no idea if the players are gettable at that price though

1. Alderweirald- we need him, we have no centre back even close to elite/world class level , he is the best in the PL

2. Sandro

3. Thiago Alacantra

4. Dybala
I know we would never get these 4 but I just want Toby mre than anyone

90 million for Bale? Big fat no from me to both player and price tag.

Can see us needing another midfielder with big question marks over Fellaini, Herrera, Pereira's futures, and Carrick heading out.

Right I'll answer this 3 ways, as if I was a United fan, as a Liverpool fan and what 4 players I want to come to Liverpool :')

If I was a United fan:

CB: Alderweireld (Jones)
LB: Sandro (Young)
CM: Verratti (Mctominay)
RW: Pulisic (Whoever you randomly play on RW)

As a Liverpool fan for United:

GK: Joe Hart (De Gea)
CM: Barry (Pogba)
LW: Redmond (Sanchez)
ST: Borini (Lukaku)

For Liverpool:

GK: Alisson (Mignolet)
CB: De Ligt (Lovren)
CM: Jorginho (Henderson)
RW/LW: Pulisic (for a 4 way rotation of Mane, Salah, Firmino and Pulisic).

Would love this. Similar to mine with that extra mid being Milinkovic-Savic, think two mids is what we really need.

Players who've done well with Jose in the past. Willian being the most obvious.

I'm not sure I trust him with anyone he's not worked with before.

A Crack Habit.
Clear out: Blind, Rojo, Fellani(purely due to contract or he would be a good option to keep), Shaw(who will probably go on to be one of the best LBs about just not here as the atmosphere has become pretty toxic for him). Carrick is retiring.

Top tackling CM in the Kante-ish mode: Perhaps Ndidi or Gueye perhaps even Fabinho or Niguez
Top attacking LB: Perhaps Jose Luis Gaya
Creative CM understudy for Pogba: Possibly Milinkovic-Savic(can also play in CM alongside Pogba so would still get plenty of starts)
Holding CM understudy for Matic: ?

We need to sell a wide attacker before we buy one and I don't see Martial or Mata going anywhere just yet.

Isco
Fabinho
Sandro
Odriozola (Based on Invictus's report)

Sell:
Pogba

An additional CM would be needed and that would be my first eleven:

----------Lukaku
Martial------Isco-----Sanchez
-------Fabinho--Matic
A.Sandro-Jones-Bailly-Odriozola
d----------De Gea

We need 5 not 4.
1) Sandro
2) Alderweireld/Umtiti
3) Verrati
4) vidal
5)Meunier

2 fullbacks. 2 midfielders and a CB.

DDG
Meunier Bailly Alderweireld Sandro
Verrati
Vidal Pogba
Sanchez Lukaku Martial

I don't think we need any attackers and Jose already said he's not in for any more attackers. Spend the money to revamp our defence and weak midfield and we're looking set to challenge for PL and go to the latter stages of CL. This team in my opinion is a title winning team but it's probably asking for a lot of money. Maybe too much. But it solves nearly everything.

Not likely to happen though.
Messi and Neymar would most likely end up as wing backs or converted into full backs unfortunately.

I’d go with Umtiti, Alex Sandro, Kroos and Bale as my four incoming signings as they are probably the best signings signings that could be made for our problem positions if Bale proved his fitness from now til summer.

Probably won't get Isco, and we won't get two centre backs but this would make me very happy for the summer.
We'd be sorting out the defence, and getting a midfielder to allow us to play with three midfielders like everyone keeps harping on about.
