Compared to the practice of the team Jose Mourinho led, MU to participate in the transfer period is quite delay. Need to know that in the championship season Chelsea 2014/15, the Cesc Fabregas - Diego Costa main duo landed on Stamford Bridge before July 15, while Filipe Luis also joined Mourinho's army on 16 / 7. Then, as you all know, Costa and Fabregas shine brightly, bringing "The Blues" to the pinnacle.
At this time Mourinho's MU has officially signed three contracts: Victor Lindelof, Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic. These are quality recruits who directly deal with the problems that the Reds have in the 2016/17 season.
Mourinho's team needed a real central defender to create a solid fulcrum for De Gea. Mourinho needed the Matic to create the shield from a distance, avoiding the risk of losing unnecessary points, which Marouane Fellaini could not do.
In addition, Matic's presence in the midfield will help Mourinho release Pogba, allowing the most expensive player in the world whole heartedly attacking front. Finally, Lukaku is a perfect replacement for Ibrahimovic in the Reds. Even the £ 75m deal adds to the youthfulness and speed - what a 35-year-old striker like Ibra can not have.
By the end of July, Manchester United had thrown out £ 145m for Lindelof, Lukaku and Matic. In particular, until the blockbuster deals such as Neymar, Mbappe or Coutinho complete, Lukaku is still the most expensive rookie of the summer transfer period on the European level.
Historical record for great ambition?
Coach Jose Mourinho has repeatedly asserted he needs four rookees in the summer of 2017. Therefore, for the rest of the transfer period, the manucians still have the right to look forward to the next contract. There is a "derivative" deal, but it is really convincing, it's Serge Aurier.
This is considered an addition to the plan but needed by coach Mourinho personally. It comes from United's 0-1 defeat to Barcelona on July 27. On the field of Hard Rock, right-back Antonio Valencia, who has been mourned by Mourinho, played a very bad game against Barça's attacking superstars, making a mistake in the situation when Neymar scored. Unique of the match.
But even Valencia are the best defenders Manchester United have, better Shaw, Blind, Darmian or something like Rojo. So it was impossible for United to recruit a defender with years of Champions League football like Aurier.
But on top of that, Gareth Bale is the name manucian expects more than Ivan Perisic - which has spent quite a lot of time MU. In order to recruit Real Madrid's superstar, the Old Trafford team may have to spend £ 85m - the amount Real paid to recruit Bale from Tottenham in 2013. It is estimated that between £ 15 million and £ 20 million, Manchester United may end the 2017 transfer window with a record £ 250 million.
This is an unprecedented number for United, even turning the Red Devils into the most expensive club in Europe, even when PSG buys Neymar or Real to recruit Mbappe. Only rival City City City has the ability to overwhelm the record that MU plans to set. The Green Man has spent £ 215m and is still pursuing very close stars Alexis Sanchez and Mbappe.
