I'm not sure how much we need to spend but that isn't the proper question. It's how we need to spend it.
IMO - First and foremost we need:
A top drawer, authoritative CB. This is essential. I really don't believe that Lindellof or Bailly are as bad as they look. They just need someone older, stronger and wiser than they are to play alongside. They are both still quite young and can't be expected to learn everything by themselves or in training. Experience can be learned but is also great to pass along.
A top drawer RB. I'm sure Dalot has great potential but again, he needs to be an understudy for a few years.
A commanding DM. Matic does seem a bit drained this season, whether he can retain what he had is one question but in the meantime we need cover for that position and someone who can boss the field in front of our defence and create freedom for Pogba / Fred / Herrera / Fellaini to operate in their best positions.
A striker. A proper one. I actually think Lukaku could be a great forward but he doesn't seem able to smash it every week. With his size, pace and strength he should be able to boss or at least hold his own against most CB's in the league / wolrd but he doesn't. For all his size and strength he doesn't seem to be a fighter.
Other than that I genuinely think we are good. There could be an argument for a RW but I still hope Rashford can make the position his own.
So that's 4 players. All need to be TOP DRAWER which means they will be expensive.
I would also like to see some money spent on the stadium. We are supposedly the most lucrative team in the world. It follows that we should be class leaders on the field, off the field and the field itself. I don't think the Glazers are quite the devils some would have us believe but I would like to see more evidence of them using some of the money we read about to keep our club at the forefront of what matters most. FOOTBALL.
