Need at least 5 players. An actual RW, a DM, 2 CB, a RB that can actually defend. Not to mention Pogba is gone, so he'll need replacing too. So that's 6 players. With how this board is don't hold you breath. We are still waiting for a proper RW for how many years? The only way this club spends is if we don't get CL. If we finish top 4 with this side, I really hope no one expects actual strengthen. We'll get what we got when we signed VDB, a player that wasn't at all needed when we could have spent the money going after a position or player that was actually a need
Real world: January: Manchester United spend £37m on the most promising right-winger in world football.
RedCaf: February: We need to buy a new right winger.
Ole should be looking for a leader and a brave defender to play alongside Maguire. We have all seen how one player, Bruno, can elevate a team to a higher order. This team needs a player to glue the defense, in a similar way Bruno has been in attack. However, I'm afraid this needs a huge stroke of luck as much as scouting.
Jonny Evans
Defence sorted.
Leader. Experience. No-nonsense. Plays left-side of defence, meaning Harry can go to his favoured right-side.
No blooding in a player like Upmencano who is most likely gonna be another Lindelof or Bailly - someone who needs blooding into the Premier League. Yes, Jonny would need replacing in 2-3 seasons, but for right now he is the IDEAL player to slot right into the gaping hole in our defensive line.
I would make three big changes if I was Ole...
Henderson instead of De Gea
Jonny Evans to partner Maguire (cost to buy his 2 year contract out? Probably £23m)
Declan Rice to sit in front of our back four (cost to buy his 3 year contract out? Probably £65m)
Then in summer of 2022, I would hope we can buy the best young striker in the world, be that Haaland or Mbappe...
