Until 3 at least.

Have a go. I dont think there are that many obvious ones.

Part of the problem is that you don't know how good these players would be at United. Jota suits the Liverpool system and style perfectly, which is why they signed him. He wouldn't look half as good at United

Didnt you just say we don't know how well theyd be at United?

And isnt that the case for every signing. You cant know they will do until you sign them.

Yes it is. So saying that such and such an alternative would have been better, based on how they perform at a club who play in a very different style is overly simplistic.

I think United have the ability to break any player though.

Dias instead of Maguire. We were linked with him that summer.

Numerous right backs over AWB.

Grealish instead of Donny, Amad and Pellistri.

We could go on for ages.

Dias - Agreed.

Name the RB's

Grwalish, maybe. WHere would he play for us even if we could have got him over City. Also, hardly a bargain.

Pereira before his injury although that was instead of Dalot. I’m sure there would have been a chance at getting Cancelo at some stage. Maybe even Max Aarons.

Grealish could have rotated between left wing and number 10. Maybe Rashford and Bruno wouldn’t have been ran into the ground then.

Woods instead of Ronaldo ….

In all seriousness think Danny Ings would have been a great signing for United

And I’m bias but I think you should have gone for Romero at centre back ….he is going to be some player in my opinion

posted on 22/1/22

What point is the OP trying to make? That we haven’t made bad signings compared to other clubs?

I’m not sure on Ings. He’s good but wasn’t amazing last season and hasn’t pulled up any trees at Villa. He could have been decent for us but I’m not sure he’d have improved us if you get me.

Its just interesting to see who we as fans think the alternatives could have been.

Rashford hasnt been ran into the ground this season. And i doubt Grealish would have left Villa for us.

Getting rid of Lukaku was one of the few great decisions this club has made in recent years.

*torress @ 25 milll > sancho
*Varane is one of my fave cbs wouldn't swap him for anyon maybe vvd, maybe
*laporte and dias are also infintely better than maguire and cheaper too
*thomas was literally available for free and had been flirt with utd but all we wanted was AWB

I coul go on and on but like I said it is pretty depressing. And I have only said the obvious ones there are others with lesser profiles that would have done better jobs than some of the big profile players some are obssessed with.

*actually typed this up after 4 comments but couldn't be bothered to post until now
