Manchester United fans are looking delighted here in the Football Transfer Tavern and demanding to hear what the Daily Express has to say about a potential £150 million spending spree.
According to the publication, the Red Devils are setting themselves up to splash the cash in the summer and revamp their squad ahead of Louis van Gaal’s second season at the helm of United.
Now as one of our punters notes over a beer and burger special by the bar, the fact that Van Gaal has waited until he has really assessed the squad and has spent a season getting to know what works (Michael Carrick) and what does not (anything to do with Jonny Evans) could well prevent panic buys and useless signings.
The club are reportedly on the lookout for five players – right-back, centre back, midfielder, winger and striker – or as our landlord notes, an entirely new spine and with names like Raphael Varane and Mats Hummels mentioned, we cannot wait to see what happens this summer.
