I think Ole already realized that United's scouting tended to bring up more expensive players or targets who are too inexperienced. That probably explains the focus on signing youth players and grow them in the academy, so that we have multiple options to boost the squad. I strongly feel that the academy will be our biggest weapon next season, the crop of talent are quite promising. The type of tactics that ETH is going to play is also key, as our attack is strong enough to play a variety of formations.
As for us going for Nunez, I feel that the club did not have a strong interest. Unlike the way we are chasing De Jong, there were only mere glances at Nunez while Liverpool went in strong for him. I am afraid Nunez will be a hit at LFC, because Klopp has been looking for players with better finishing and positioning capabilities to make use of the pin point passes coming in from Trent, Thiago, Henderson, Keita etc. It has been their weakness last season and coupled with Nunez's workrate and strength, it will be a boon against tougher and strength relying defenders.
