At the time of typing this article, Manchester United has just finish their 2020/2021 Premier League season. They were able to finish second with a large gap of 12 points behind the leader, Manchester City. It was a great end to the season with the Europe League Final just around the corner, but deep down, every Manchester United supporters, players and coaches knew, 'we should have won the league'.
As a fan, here is my view on the players they should buy and the position they should focus on.
SQUAD DEPTH
First thing first is the squad depth. We all knew that Manchester City has one of the best squad depth in the premier league especially in their defensive line up. Each position in that team, can have a player that is comfortable playing in that position. Therefore I want to highlight that squad depth is an important aspect for a team that want's to win trophies. Manchester United have quality players but their squad depth is not up to par with Manchester City.
RIGHT WINGER
Honestly, ever since Antonio Valencia left the club, MU have not replace him with a proper right winger. All our wingers that we bought are mostly for the left side. Liverpool bought Salah, Manchester City bought Mahrez, Bernardo Silva while Arsenal and Chelsea have Pepe and Ziyech. All our top 4 rivals have a proper right winger. That's why I believe that this position (RW) must be focus by MU.
JADON SANCHO
Jadon Sancho is young and is a proper RIGHT WINGER. He is fast, can dribble, has plenty of skills, assists, goals and an Englishman. He is the future for our RW position if MU bought him. If can, at any price, MU must buy him, but between 60M - 120M price range is acceptable.
We cant be too dependable on Mason Greenwood to play on the right, he is more efficient inside the box. While Rashford, Martial, Danial James are more 'dangerous' on the left side. Unless we are playing Amad Dialo, he looks good, confident and already have an assist but he still lacks experience. If MU get can Jadon Sancho, Dialo can be a good back up.
There are also many other players that can play on the right side, but in this article, I'll focus more to Jadon Sancho.
MIDFIELDER (CDM)
Fred cannot play CDM. He lacks physicality. He can play as Central Midfielder with his passing, skills and control of the ball. While McTominay, for some reason, haven't play a lot in that CDM spot. Probably because Ole used 4-2-3-1 in his tactic more. But McTominay got the potential to play that role.
WILFRED NDIDI
Needles to say, he succeed in that position for Leicester this season, and that is why Maddison and Tielemans can help more on the offensive end of their team.
I don't know why MU didn't go for Ngolo Kante or Riyad Mahrez. But if they did, we probably have a great time right now.
For now, these are the players that I could think of for Man Utd.
Let's wait for EURO 2020 if there any stand out player.
