I'd be surprised if we went for another striker. We have Ibrahimovic, Marital, Rashford, Rooney plus we've added Mkhitaryan who's handy in front of goal, as theoreticaly is Memphis.
At the moment, with José seeing Rooney as a striker, we possibly (and hopefully) have enough to get by this season now as things currently stand. |

Does anyone else keep forgetting that Ashley Young is still at the club?
Can't see much game time for him, this season. |

I hate how people keep on referring to Ed Woodward to be honest, I think it's dismissive of the manager in a way. I don't recall "ooh, who'll Marty sign this year?" during the Fergie years.
Mourinho is the manager, he's the one that sanctions who to go get, Woodward is just responsible for trying to make it happen, so let's stop talking about him as if he's the manager and Jose is just the hired help who puts the cones out. |

He will hopefully have learned from his year with Ibra, and be a better player than he currently is, (scary thought for other teams!) and the addition of another striker to replace Ibra, will only reinforce our firepower, not lesson it.

The point is a years time Rashford could be the replacement for Ibrahimovic.

Long-term i'd maybe like to see Martial and Rashford as the wide forwards with someone like Lukaku as a focal point in the middle making the most of those two being able to pull the defenders every which way.

This is the very difficult second season for him now, he is no longer a surprise as such, and so, he will have to overcome that, and if he can, then we will have a very good option on our hands. |

Let's see how Rashford develops this season under José, and with Ibra there to help him along, hopefully he will improve, as that would be fantastic if so.

The "outs" could be as interesting as the "ins" this summer if a fair few of them depart, of which those two could be part of that process.

As somebody who constantly complains about the excessive wages paid to footballers I thought I would comment that I have just seen a two door Rolls Royce coupe (about a weeks pay £250k
) with the number plate W4YNE.Could not see clearly through the window but my neighbour is called Wayne and he says it must belong to somebody else who might play football..... ![]() Anybody know for sure? |

It is not so much the excessive fees to footballers that perhaps you should be complaining about, rather the fees to agents!

Could be that I still remember when twenty pounds a week was a living wage,,,,
![]() Football players live a cut-throat life. Don't do the business? Shipped off. The very best deserve to earn the very best money on offer. It's not public money. If a club decides to pay someone £300,000 a week, so what? The nurses are unaffected. So are the soldiers. In fact, they're probably better off, due to the huge tax bills that these guys are slapped with. I can't tell you how much I hate this argument. Rugby/tennis/bowls players don't earn that kind of money, because no-one cares. People care about football, and they want to see the best. It's private money, generating public money. Everyone should be f***ing delighted. |

Wayne Rooney spent £250k on a car? Well I have two and I can tell you whilst neither are very flash they both cost me more than a weeks wages to buy so perhaps I'm the extravagant one and Wayne Rooney is being sensible.
