Tbf to Wahl (horrible thing to have to say)

Ornstein reported City's interest in Lukaku recently

Lukaku is the complete opposite of what Pep wants in a striker.

That’s just utter nonsense.

Lukaku wasn’t and isn’t good enough.

Since the start of last season Marcus Rashford is 2 goals off Lukaku’s total tally for United.

Bruno Fernandes is 8 off cos total tally.

He’s a good goal scorer doing well in a poor league but he’s not good enough for a top team.

Lukaku? Does not rate in the top 50 or probably 100 Man United players. He was nothing more than average at that level. He probably wouldn't even rate in the top 500 premier league players.

Lukaku will never win you a PL title with as teams as good as City n Liverpool (pre injuries) around.

The problem wasn't selling him. The problem was believing Martial is the guy to replace him. He isn't either and probably isn't even as good as Lukaku for me.

We badly need a top striker. And I'm sorry but we shouldn't be renewing Cavani's contract. He's 34 and misses more games than he plays. Go sign a world class striker.

If a top striker is available then I agree we should buy him but it’s not the top priority for me and with the prices these days, it’s not likely to be able to get what we also need.

For me in order of priority but all three very important:

RWF
CB
CF

He missed a few games quarantining and three due to suspension. Those aren’t anything to do with his physical condition.

He’s been out injured twice. The first was a knock. It’s only this last injury which has had anything to do with his musculature.

Given that COVID has absolutely battered United financially - harder than anyone else - I don’t expect that the Glazers will be authorising a splurge this summer. And given that we have bigger issues than CF, we won’t be forking out for a top striker given that it’s a seller’s market for the position at present.

Renew Cavani, have him work with and help develop the youngsters

If we had a good right winger our strikers might get more chances to score.

There's a promising lad at Dortmund. Should nab him before anyone else finds out about him.

Sancho would probably beat a defender on the right and put a cross in while Martial and Rashford are still hanging out on the left wing.

He should again be our primary transfer target.
