Utd should be mindful of overflooding the team with too many good players but should concentrate on key players in lacking positions then put the young ones as subs as a means of creating for them oportunities to showcase.
I totally agree with you. Other teams are now using this chances to sell their players at a very high price, since United seems desperate to sign players (I think this is because of Woodward’s incapability to negotiate the transfer fee)
