With this signing United will definitely have their forward line set up for the next 10+ years. While they’re not a patch on our front 3 currently, they now have 3 young, talented English forwards who are among the most exciting prospects around. It’s just arrogance and bias if you don’t admit that. I imagine in the years to come the figure will become insignificant and will be similar to the Van Dijk situation when, rather than looking at the individual price, we talk about the fact that we spent £85m on our back 4.
Saying all this it’s just another example of how impressive our position at the summit of English football is when we are surrounded by teams who can throw money about like United, City and Chelsea. Not sure where they are getting this money from considering there’s no talk of selling anyone for significant money, they spent anywhere between £50-70m for Fernandes in January and the considerable drop in revenue caused by Covid.
