In the really unlikely event that spurs want lingaard, id take Dele Ali plus pay Spurs a few million on top. Yes we are well stocked in Centee Mid, but theres nothing wrong with bringing in more quality and competition. Look at how well stocked city are in midfield. There bench is normally ridiculous in terms of the talent sitting there.
Ali can play off the striker, off the left and in midfield. So a useful number of positions. Good goalscoring record as well. Plus if what Mourinho said is true in the amazon documentary and fergie rates him then thats high praise.
We dont know if Pogba will be at the club next summer as hes not signed a new deal. If he leaves then we will be a midfielder down (though i think VDB was bought to replace him personally). Having Ali would help ease the burden on VDB and Fernandes if Pogna was to go.
Also (and i am all for ole staying in charge), if utd decided to replace ole, say with poch then we'd have a manager who could get the best out of Ali. There is a talented player there and many talented players have fallen foul of Mourinho and his methods.
