As the title says - when I say rivals I mean any Premier League team - and how would your first choice XI look then?
Which three players would you take from our PL rivals to improve our team?

DDG
Dalot - Varane - Martinez - Shaw
Casemiro - Bruno G
Saka - Bruno F - Rashford
Haaland

Nailed it
Yeah, this is what i would go for too.
Yeah this. Though if we believe Sancho will come good, Allison for DDG is the other option
Saka
De Bruyne
Kane

Kane
Ederson / Allison
Saka
Haaland
That’s what Utd need.

This is it. I might swap Allison for a CDM - Partey or Rodri.
Yeah - I wouldn't be opposed to that.
(The obvious problem is that it would set us back...something like 350 mill at best in transfer money alone.)
Anyway, we can dream.
Spot on
Man got it in the first post.
DDG
Dalot - Varane - Martinez - Shaw
Casemiro - Kovacic
De Bruyne - Bruno F - Rashford

Haaland a cert, Bruno G or maybe Gundogan in CM.
Then RW or GK - a RW like Saka might make the most immediate impact, but given the fees and ages of Antony and Sancho I'd back one of them to come good long term and take Ederson or Alisson.

Saka, KDB, Haaland.
Bruno G and Alisson honorable mentions
We'd basically be a more direct version of City with those 3 though, and Saka and Rashford would provide the penetration from the wings that City lack currently.

Why the sudden obsession over Guimares? Mans behind Fred in the NT
The three best players in the Premier League...Duh!
Sad state of affairs when most people are looking to replace our recent £80m signing!
Sad state of affairs happened when we coughed up the £80m!
Haaland and Saka for sure. I'd love Odegaard to replace Eriksen but I'm not sure whether a midfield 3 of Casemiro, Bruno, Odegaard would be balanced enough. I'd probably bet on Casemiro being stable enough to make it work.
Can't really argue with that
Bruno Guimares
Bernardo Silva
Martin Odegard
Basically players who will help us have more control in games

Maybe not the flashiest name compared to the other players mentioned here, but perhaps an actual attainable player; Bentancur from Tottenham would be absolutely fantastic, especially next to Casemiro.
Alisson, Haaland, Mac Allister
I'll go realistic picks
-------------------Raya-------------------
Dalot---Varane--Martinez--Shaw
-------Casemiro----Caicedo-------
Antony------Fernandes-------Rashford
-------------------Kane-------------------
Struggled to come up with 3 realistic ones from the PL tbh as would prefer a different profile of CM to Caicedo

Sat state of affairs seeing a winger included after we’ve spent a bomb the last two summers buying wingers
id go keeper, midfielder, forward (haaland)

Alisson, Kovacic, and Haaland.
If it was purely just to win the PL next year with no long term plan at all:
-------------------De Gea-------------------
Dalot---Varane----Martinez----Shaw
-------Casemiro------Kovacic-------
Mahrez-------Bruno-------Rashford
--------------------Kane-------------------
Assuming Saka isn't already ahead of Mahrez. Maybe he is.

Haaland, Saka, Rice. I'd then sell Rice to Chelsea and buy two good players.
Alisson, De Bruyne, Haaland. Don't think it's really even a debate, no idea how anyone looks at our team and things there are bigger issues than goalkeeper, centre forward and another midfielder.
Odengaard
Cancelo
Mudryk

Nice, so 3 free hit and our RW is still shit.
After just one appearance
and who’s the first player?Saka
Kane
Rice
Kane
Rice
Saka, Rice, Allison
More of a credit to how good Saka has become for me
Yep like utd board with antony i am heavily invested in potential.After just one appearance
Casemiro exists.
We need a bench. We don't need two GKs but two CDMs would do nicely.
I don’t really think that’s the idea of the thread. Of course we need a capable replacement but if you offered me this scenario the last thing I’m doing is thinking of squad options.
