    Serious question. Multiple international Phil Jones or the Nabster?

    United fans fuming because the owners are said to be unlikely to spend over 200 million.
    Thing is, that will only get them 4 quality players. They need more than that to catch up with City or Liverpool.

    Absolutely amazes me how a club can spend so much money and yet still have Jones and Smalling in defence.
    Brought Fred when they absolutely didn’t need to. Could’ve had a very decent CB for that price.

    Even someone like Maguire who isn’t world class, but still very Solid, would improve them.
    I reckon Alderweirweld will join them in the summer.

    They need an overhaul like we had with Powell.  So many players not up to it.

    Would cost a ton at that level though.

    Think he could do better!  If not it's a no brainer at £25m when they need to spend in so many other areas too.

    Thing is Bailly, Linderlof, Dalot, Shaw, Matic, Fred, Lukaku all cost a fortune. It’s ok having the overhaul but you got to spend it correctly. For me they have some superstars, but they lack the solid reliable grafters that every team needs. They don’t work hard enough.

    Cardiff keeper keeps punching everything it's as if he has an aversion to catching the ball.
    He reminds me of someone I would rather forget .

    Looks like a guy who played in goal for us for a bit as well. What a coincidence.

    Can’t wait to see TAA playing for England regularly.

    Soft penalty, but no way back for Cardiff now.

    Definite penalty for me, ridiculous to put your arms all over a player like that.

    Just needs to be given more often

    Frustration with that sort of penalty is the majority get ignored

    Bissaka best RB in Prem. Best LB is Digne, ignoring his goal;  Rose is OK for us but I'd go Sessignon. How we still play Henderson, when he isn't a regular starter for Pool is beyond me. Rice is a shoe in. Grant will debut within two years. Gray should be in squad. Gomez, Stones sorted.

    Only Zaha (6) has won more Premier League penalties this season than Salah (5)

    Definite penalty. Don’t know what Gary Neville is talking about. It should have been given before Salah through himself to the ground. The rules are clear. It is not up to the referee to judge what pressure, if any, the arms are applying to the opponent.

    So much of this is fundamentally wrong I actually can’t bring myself to argue it.

    Very true.  They've spent just do badly.  Though I think Dalot will be a decent signing, he's still young.

    Haven't seen much of him to be fair. They have spent money terribly, not sure I would trust Solksjaer to spend it to well either. Tough one for them but can't stand them so not shedding any tears.

    Exactly this.

    People go on about how much City spend (and rightly so) but Lukaku cost more than Aguero and Jesus combined, Fred cost more than Bernardo Silva, Matic cost more than Fernandinho, Pogba cost more than De Bruyne and Sane combined.

    You need to spend money wisely.

    Yeah but City spend 50m on full backs.

    Pretty sure that will become the norm for top level full backs.
