OGS prefer greenwood over him since the league restart, he might need to improve his bag of tricks

i think ever since man u won the treble, players they were interested in had a hike in asking price, not easy to pay reasonable fees as clubs/agents would try to profit whenever they can

if OGS signs a pacy DMC, mctominay and fred will have reduced playing time, and its up to OGS wisdom to manage them. which is why it may be better to have mctominay learn from matic to be holding mid and succeed him with fred on rotation. there is a need for a holding mid to protect the defence as maguire is not pacy and the fullbacks overlap. if OGS intends to sign a DMC, the scouts need to find a player (<24yo) who can be at the club for the next 8 seasons

Looks like our wish for a proper CDM is going to come true. Utd are pushing to try signing either Wilfred Ndidi or Sergei Milinkovic Savic. I'd prefer Ndidi cos he bettered even Kante's stats in his first full season and has premier league experience. However, SMS is arguably a better and more experienced (club/country) player, and can also compete with Bruno and Pobga for attaching midfield as well.
