One thing stood out for me from the Liverpool shambles:
"This team will be a bit different next season, it is clear," said Klopp. "We will do something with transfers."
Just how are Utd and Chelsea going to rebuild their squads without Champions League football and in what will be the biggest transfer window spend of all time? Everyone has cheque books now, and the proposition of playing for Chelsea or Man Utd isn't as great as it was.
Man Utd fans focussed all season on LVG, but it's clear to me that the problems are so much deeper. If De Gea goes, that creates a huge hole, and their midfield is non-existent. Schweinsteiger is finished. So is Carrick. So if Rooney. Herrera just gives fouls away. mata is too slow and lightweight. Fellaini is their best man but to get the best out of him you have to play him further forward and Utd fans rightly wont tolerate that. They have no wingers to speak of: Valencia, Young and Depay???!!!! Smalling defends by Octopus tactics which have been rumbled. The one bright spark is martial and possibly Rashford. Over-hyped but they might have something
Overall they have never been in a weaker position and they are going to find it very very difficult standing out in what will be a very expensive transfer window.
