Goals make the difference. For instance, most of the criticism of United defenders ( one of them in his first senior year) would have been a muted if one or two of those 2nd half chances had been taken. Two falling to Martial and one to Greenwood ( another in his first senior year).
City have had some great players over the last decade, Silva and De Bryne are names that many mention. But the one who really made the difference, the one who won them titles, was Aguero. A player who consistently hits the back of the net when getting half chances is worth their weight in gold. They are rare.
Sancho is a talented lad, I would like to see him in a United team. But if United have just enough money to buy one super star, it must be an 'Aguero'. Ole has to get into Martial's head that he can be a world star driving into the penalty area at speed from the left. United need him and Greenwood , but they need to complement it with a real six yard goal machine.
Fortunately I do not know who that can be. 'Fortunately' because if I knew he would be either already playing for United's rivals or be unaffordable. Somewhere there will be one, surely that is what these expensive scouts etc are paid to find?
