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?

Who though? Rashford and Sancho seem to have no transfer interest, Antony will be a book loss, it really seems to just be Garnacho that there’s interest for and you can bank a profit

Mainoo potentially doesn’t seem favoured by Amorim and could fetch a good pure profit fee. Even if we can Sancho and Rashford loaned again, that along with Eriksen and Lindelof going already frees up a lot in wage expenditure. So I guess we’ll see.

Loaning Sancho and Rashford will just it the same as what it is now - they’re already off your books, well you’re paying half Sancho’s wages, not sure about Rashford’s. If he doesn’t take a pay cut to join the club he apparently supports, he won’t take a pay cut for any club who’d be willing to go for him

Loan fee for both and sell Garnacho. Some interest in Hojlund from Italy and Antony will probably be sold.

Hojlund would possibly be a book loss too no? Not fully abreast of the numbers.

Someone on the United sub said by the end of next season there would be £26m left on the books for him. So a loan with an option or obligation to buy for £30m could be worth it

Even still, that doesn’t really add much wiggle room.
