So I had a dream United sold De Gea, Pogba, Young, Smalling, Jones, Valencia, Lingard, Rojo, and Darmian and replaced them with even more shit and I could definitely see them actually do that. If all those players were to leave though I’d love to get Onana, Rabiot, Fekir, Bruno Fernandes, AWB, Neres, Alderweireld and Rice to replace them. I tried to keep my targets semi realistic
In all honesty though, if De Gea were to leave where would he go? There are three teams that are in the tier above United that don’t have a keeper. RM has Courtois, Barca has Ter Stegen, Bayern has Neuer (probably not going to be around much longer but still you get someone younger that DDG), Atletico has Oblak, Pool has Alison. I could see PSG being interested but with FFP and having issues in other positions I don’t see them spending the money at keeper. He would be an upgrade at Juve but again I doubt they spend that money cause it’s just not their style. He would be a better shot stopper than Ederson for City but with the possession they have and Ederson’s skill in possession being among the best in the world, I doubt they go for him. Basically I don’t see anywhere he would fit in without other changes.
Pogba, on the other hand, he would fit in most places. I could see PSG, Juve, RM, Barca, and Bayern (lesser extent for last 2) being interested. I know this would never happen but I’d much rather see a swap for a CB or a mid than just selling him out right. Maybe something like Rugani+cash, Varane straight up (if he would still be willing to leave RM), from PSG I’d love to try for like Marquinhos but that’s probably aiming too high, I don’t remember if Rabiot’s contract is over this summer or next but I’d send Pogba to PSG and get Rabiot+cash.
I feel like AWB is an absolute must for United after this season. Also bringing back Tuanzebe, TFM, CBJ and giving time to Greenwood, Gomes, Chong, Garner, etc. is a must. This team needs such a huge overhaul and it’s insane. I’d love to have one experienced back up at every position and then one youth player but that might be a bit of a reach by next season. All I want now though is for the players listed in the first part of this post gone. DDG and Pogba are two of my favorite players (probably the only two arguable ones that I want gone). If they don’t want to play for the club though then let them go and replace them with smart buys. They can’t allow Woodward to make these buys though.
