Considering United have hardly any cash this Summer, I think I’m shocked they’ve not tried the loan market more. I mean, Dembele for example, if United could agree a year loan with option to buy with Barca, then he could fill a gap if they didn’t want to buy Sancho this year.
Not sure how willing Barca would be but it seems a win / win from both parties as he’s getting hardly any games and when he does he’s out of form so playing most weeks at United could help Barca get his price up if they were ever looking to sell and gives United time to save
Regardless of that, I still think United get Sancho but, if they didn’t a move like that makes way more sense than buying a Douglas Costa for example.
Look at the free market as well. Kheidra for example, past his best but, offer him a 1+1 contract on semi decent wages for squad depth. Doesn’t have to be him but, there’s bargains everywhere right now.
Mario Götze, free agent again he’s beyond his best but, could fill a role for a couple years while we try rebuild finances, there’s still a player in there.
Thiago - €30m
Kheidra - just wages
Götze - just wages
Malang Sarr - just wages
Four players, 2 CMs an attacking mid and a CB for €30m. If this club does honestly want to spend nothing, they can and still build a squad full of players that will cover positions for the first 11

Everyone can turn their noses up at these players but, all of them bar Sarr are experienced players who can do a job that would cost literally nothing bar wages. This is the biggest problem with The Glazers / Woodward. When it comes to football they are actually so stupid.
Then you can still sign Sancho and if not, get Telles/Reguillon, and Van De Beek and try to loan Dembele.
Thiago
Götze/VdB
Kheidra
Sarr
Telles
Dembele (loan)
6 players for an initial outlay less than £100m

This isn’t even taking into consideration the sales of
Smalling €25m
Pereira €10-20m
Rojo €10+m
Lingard €20-25m
I mean... we’re just so slow in the market and should have shifted players early to help bolster our transfer funds. I’m just baffled to be honest
