How about Dybala or Morata?
Morata maybe a no no especially if Madrid play hard ball and want De Gea.
Dont rate Morata at all and would not offer us anything more than Rashford. Dybala would absolutely love him here tbh. Easily best young STR in world football imo. In fact not just young STRs. He can mix it with the best at any age.
 
Absolutely no chance of top 4 now. How can you go half a season unbeaten and still be absolute ****? Definitely need to win the Europa now

A certain stat analyst looked at Arsenal's points total now and compared it to the last 5 years. Turns out that we've been remarkably consistent and that we're marginally worse than last season. What's changed?

It's simple. The top 6 are the strongest it's ever been in premier league history. It's not a case of United/Arsenal being bad. Last season, the points Arsenal/United are on would have been top 3. The other sides have just improves. Mourinho/Wenger are being exposed. Wenger was finished years ago and we've seen Mourinho's relative decline since his Real Madrid spell.
 
Yeah... what's your thoughts? Griezmann coming in would not be just to add goals but quality and consistency we seriously lack in the final 3rd.

I couldn't give you a clear answer now tbh mate, head's confused. Big 2 points lost, big downer. He obviously isn't happy with the consistency of 2-3 of the lads in attacking areas, but he has to remember that if you take Mkhitaryan out of that front 4 today, then Rashford/Lingard/Martial have an average senior game count of 74 matches! It's inexperience. It's what you're going to get.

I think he may sign Griezmann and possibly an experienced out & out scorer to rotate with and inherit Zlatan. Fight for all competitions next season, suspensions & injuries a given, it wouldn't be out of the question.

Morata has fired a team to the Champions league final at 21 years old scoring vs City, Dortmund, Madrid (twice) and Barcelona in the final. His numbers since his Madrid days have been exceptional. Over 1 expected goal/assists per 90 this season. He's a million miles further ahead than Rashford.

I genuinely fear for Rashford. His development is being stalled on the left wing. He's now playing as a 1v1 player out wide that's solely dependant on his pace, much like Kingsley Coman. This is bad. Rashford needs minutes up top.

Lastly, Dybala is an impossible signing. Don't even discuss it. Almost as rediculous as the suggestion of Neymar. Unlike Pogba, Dybala isn't expendable. Besides, I don't see a reason for him leaving Juve.

United can't afford to go longer without Champions league football. Given the quality of players, United should be challenging for the title. Problems are all relative to coaching. United have been pitiful vs deep blocks.

Totally agree. Interesting that he said there will be some interesting signings this summer. Maybe in the STR department. Can't think of any names though that are easy to get. Cavani, Augebamyang, Benzema, Dybala.

Would love Cavani.

Hes not ready to lead the line for us yet. He's been pretty poor when playing up top. Not his fault, he's just not ready yet. Morata has been good but he would not fix out goal scoring problems when Zlatan is out. Agree Dybala will be super difficult to get! Not impossible though.

Look who came back out of nowhere! Lol.

It's not like we have problems opening deep defences, the problem is rubbish finishing when we do carve out chances.

Yes a player with good hold up play and would fit Mourinho style of play. Plus 40 goals in 43 apps this season is clearly not good enough :O
A bucket load coming from the French league. He was the reason why PSG finished 2nd in UCL group stages instead of 1st.

The guy misses some really awful sitters in defining moments. He's the guy that misses the net when you need him the most

Earlier in the season it was the case but it's averaged out over the course of the season. United have huge deep block problem. Shot ratios were shocking today. Seen United's expected goals. Finishing has evened out over the whole season. Completely impotent in attack today. Credit to West Brom. Pulis is a top tactician. Organises the best deep block in the league.
Cavani? **** no. I'd rather take a chance with morata

Morata isn't much of a chance at all. Would easily score 20+ in the prem.

Huge myth. Cavani is a clinic striker. His movement gets him on the end of so many chances that he scores many and misses many. Very little to do with his league. Top striker.

You obviously haven't seen a lot of Cavani bar the little highlight videos here & there of his barren spell. As you seen, Zlatan has missed more than his fair share of chances this season. The main thing is they're getting on the end of them and scoring more than they miss. How many got on the end of something today?

Didn't Zaltan sign from PSG? It doesn't seem to have done him any harm coming from an 'easy' French league....

Cavani was arsenal's best player in the group stages. If he tucked away half the chances that came his was, PSG would've blown away arsenal in both games. Absolutely no denying that.

So you're basing your entire opinion of a player in a couple of games?

Having a very good game against Monaco in the final atm. Nearly scored what would of been one of the best Cruyff flick goals I've ever seen. No idea how the GK saved it! So much talent in the French league atm.
