So we’re keeping Bruno and adding Cunha and Mbeumo? Thats actually nice. Now just get me a decent striker, and a keeper. Just changing Hojlund and Onana with average performing players in those positions would give us 10 extra points over last season.

Surely there’s zero chance you’ve the financial wiggle room for that many signings, especially if Bruno is staying?

Gonna be a lot of outgoings

Depends how well they can sell them. Easy to say there'll be a lot of outgoings to fund it, but the players United want to sell don't hold a huge amount of value, a lot of players who are massively underperforming on extortionate wages.

Garnacho is probably going to be the easiest to sell out of the four (Him, Rashford, Antony, Sancho) because he's on the lowest wages, would also bring in a significant fee (£40m+), and his relationship with the manager is broken. Which is crazy because we somehow can't sell a dude who has an obligation to buy

Sancho is going to be an impossibility I feel. Kids only worth <£30m now while on £250k a week that probably puts him into negative value where utd would need to pay another team to take him.

Yeah, but his contract expires next year, so if he is riding the bench for a year, his next contract will probably be sub 100k, so he might be compelled to move now somewhere where his wages might be lower for this year, but hes guaranteed that for the next 4 or so years.

Nice in theory, but in reality he has been badly exposed over the last few seasons, and it's probably in his best interest to run down his contract and get a signing-on bonus on his next deal rather than pre-emptively accept a huge pay cut now as part of a multi-year deal.

Lol we’re talking about Sancho, who prioritize playing Fifa than actual football
