They took Inter to the cleaners with Lukaku, got back whatever they had paid for him ! However I am surprised that a lot of their fans are not worried about their attacking outlet. They have no established world class strikers in their ranks. If you compare the other teams (except Chelsea) Arsenal: Aubameyang, Spurs: Kane, Us: Aguero, Liverpool: Firmino, all of these teams have players who can go and score 20+ goals every season, I am not sure Rashford can do that for them. There is a good chance this tactic backfires for them. They are basically replying on Martial or Rashford clicking and that is a lot of pressure on two players who have not been consistent at all.

I think their squad currently is not that good except Pogba and De Gea. Their midfield is extremely weak unless Fred does a 180 from the last season and add to that they have 7 centerbacks in their squad.

I reckon that fee for Lukaku is about 'par', providing he gets down to a footballer build rather than his current build which is more like a boxers'. United have sold their best goal-scorer and not replaced him. That is not sustainable over a season - yeah, Rashford and Martial will probably have flashes throughout the season but there is no way they will score enough goals to get United in the Top 4. Absolutely no way

I pretty much agree with that. He's a goalscorer, and still young; he's just not fit and hasn't been coached recently.

At some point, a replacement will be needed. That'll be expensive.

Most players would choose Spurs over United these days. Better team, better manager, better ground and the is clearly a plan there. United is not an attractive proposition

Better everything really, Dybala must have asked his agent, 'Should I join Man Utd?'
'Better not.'

Not sure if it's just me, but every time I see him, he looks like a spitting image puppet.

Do you remember when Utd bought LUkaku. It was £75m according to Simon Stone despie there being £15m of easily achievable add-ons. Now when Man Utd sell Lukaku, it's £75m including the add-ons. They are so trasparent.

The sale of Lukaku is a disaster for Man Utd. He might have limitations, but he does score goals.
