People belive it or not but Guillem balague been all over this for a while . I believe him. Well connected around Europe
Manchester United need to spend way more than 200 million they need 2 world class first choice centre halfs, a new left back a new central midfield pairing and and another striker. They may also need to buy to replace Smalling, Jones and Evans at the back because if they start with either of those as central defence next season they'll get arseholed every week.
Not sure they need two centre backs ESL. I think Evens as played quite well when he's played. I think they need a Centre back, a right back and a left back (would be good for England if that was shaw) Smalling and Jones need to be back up at centre back. They don't play there enough and that culd be costly for England. They need to work out which formation will be plan A in 80% of games and which will be plan B. If they are two go to a more 4231 rather than 442 then there requirements will be different. Were do they see Mata playing. ACM I would think in a 4231. Striker wise if they lose RVP then Rooney will lead the line with Welbeck and another player needing to come in. There a few players who could leave. Nani, must be on massive wages will young be there next season. RNP Rio Ferdinand Vidic and there will be more. But those 5 above must be on best part of 500/600K a week.
