The only player we really need is Paul Pogba. Then we can shuttle out Matuidi and Khedira for peanuts and be completely calm with our midfield options.
We are offloading Kean, Mandzukic, Cancelo, Matuidi, Khedira, Dybala and probably Rugani(but no good offers so far it seems). Surely that is not just to compensate for the De Ligt transfer. Neymar is a pipe-dream that will depend on him acting a fool, just like Icardi. Lukaku is Inter bound we are there to make sure they pay the full price.
Anyway we should collect ~250M from sales. Once RM is not an option for him we will go all in and negotiate a decent package for everyone.
Im cant argue with someone who is rooting for Pogba...
Right now the player who can make us the strongest IMO is Pogba.
Future wise which also means post Ronaldo - If we dont get someone WC we will be fucked therefore a Neymar investment if possible is a must!
Im not just talking about Neymar as there are other players in the world but we have 2 options to replace him in the future
1. Player vs Player - The system remains similar and we only "exchange players"
2. The Zidane way - When we sold Zidane we made a serious splash as we splashed on 3 players (and got 1 WC player for Carini..)... Thuram Buffon and Nedved.
Everyone in the world is replaceable but replacing Ronaldo isnt easy so we will have to either sign Neymar or get at least 2 WC players who fits our style..
Look at Real - They didnt properly replace Ronaldo and they were a joke last season..
We have yet to see Real this season but the Hazard signing should help their cause...

We're already in € problems which is why we're seeing shit like the Cancelo-Danilo and Dybala-Lukaku swap. And we're still mentioning Neymar... We'd be closer to the truth saying we're bankrupt.
This isnt exactly true as sales could generate money to make us FFP safe and when Ronaldo is gone his wages are gone as well so it will be only Neymar.
Dybala Lukaku isnt just money IMO - Our board look at this by saying Dybala isnt good for our style Luakaku isnt suited for Man Utd so lets trade
Cancelo - Its money but also not every coach rates Cancelo as you do..
I cant really blame anyone for wanting Cancelo gone as whatever he does offensively he ruins with his defensive display.. Seriously I cant remember when was the last time we had such a poor defensive wise RB or LB (and we had Molinaro Peluso Birindelli Balzaretti and other meh players..)
