Just a bit of fun, you can choose any three players to sign to strengthen our team for next season, who would they be and why?
1. Nelson Semedo, Benfica. I've watched Benfica quite a lot this season as I heard we were interested in Guedes (who has now signed for Paris) . Semedo looks like the natural replacement for Valenia, quick strong and a good delivery. He seems rash at times when defending 1v1 but so did Valencia at first.
Neymar, Barcelona. My first game at Old Trafford was 4-1 vs West Ham in the cup and the atmosphere was amazing, but I couldn't help but think what it was like when we had Rooney Ronaldo and Tevez interchanging postions and playing amazing free flowing football. My reason for Neymar is he simply does things many footballers cannot, he is a player that would get fans out of their seats and I truly believe we are missing a player that can do that.
Toni Kroos, Real Madrid. His calmness on the ball is matched only by our own Michael Carrick. Carrick is 35 and not getting younger. Kroos' vision from deep is world class (hate that term) . He has every pass in his locker whether its a 50 yard hollywood pass or a defense splitting through ball. There are other options for this position with similar attributes but i think Kroos is head and shoulders above any player in that position.
Would love to hear who you guys would want us to sign.
TL;DR You have three signings to make this summer, who are they and why?
