Jason Wilcox's Manchester United Squad Overhaul

Manchester United are reportedly looking to sign a centre-back, a midfielder and a forward this summer, with other positions being prioritised based on outgoings in the squad. That leaves room for some serious players to join up with the squad, and god knows we need it after the season we’ve had. With Jason Wilcox coming in, along with some other big names in the backroom rankings, I think there’s an opportunity for us to get some intelligent deals done. Today, we’re going to put ourselves in Jason Wilcox’s shoes, and identify some of the names that could be brought in to the squad. As well as that, let’s take a look at the players that could make way. Who makes the cut?

[@nasirsyed6595]

The most transformational signing will be Joao Neves. Not sure if he'll want to come to us but if we trigger his release clause and get him, we'll move up significantly. Him and Mainoo in a double pivot should be great and perhaps Amadou Onana for some physicality we may require in some games or late in games. Midfield wins you trophies. It's not a coincidence we won the most with Keane, Scholes, Carrick in midfield and little since then.

[@davidoconnor7709]

What about the CB from Fulham that's going for free he has played decent this season he could be a good backup

[@HugoCorreiabzk]

João Neves will be a top midfielder for the next 12-15 years, the intelligence that kid has is something, he has a spacial awareness, his positioning and endurance are very high. The only thing he lacks in my opinion is shooting capacity. About Antonio Silva he is another elite player, but this season he has been a bit lower than the previus one. We have seen otamendi missing some plays, and that might be putting pressure on Antonio. They will be expensive but they will have you set in that position for at least 10 years.

Antonio Silva is very good and I think he his a defender

[@Ace-wp7ld]

Neves looks great imo and of all the possible places to spend big that will help united right away and in the future is at 6. All the top clubs have phenomenal 6s and with casemiro crashing we need a 6 so badly.

[@HugoCorreiabzk]

@@adamtwamley293 well everything has a price, the real question is how much is the board willing to pay to solve that problem? As a benfica supporter I prefer that Joao Neves stay at Benfica, as I would have preferred that Bernardo, Cancelo, Rúben Dias, Ederson and João Félix, but I'm not part of the board and I understand that every player has a price tag. As a football fan and as united watcher, I see there are a lot o issues with that team, so maybe Neves could help solve a few of them, but united need way more than only one player, in my opinion it needs about 6 or 7. So if the option is to buy only one top or all the others, I would buy all the others. With 100M you can solve some of the problems. But nerves might not be available next season or his price tag might be even higher...

[@adamtwamley293]

@@HugoCorreiabzk I’m not disputing obvious talent or his price if enzo is a 100 million pound plus player then so is Neves. But Utd have a squad wide rot and we’ve done the huge signing i.e pogba, di mara, sanchez and lukaku they haven’t worked out id rather sign a couple of players with that money instead of blowing it all on one player also we have to be within FFP which given the horrendous financial handling of the club in previous years will be a factor in the window

It’s one thing identifying talent for Southampton, or even Man City, but United are a different beast, it’s the qualities you can’t measure in stat form, it’s more about personality and character over talent.

The chances of Dortmund stumping up 75m for Sancho are zero. I would expect 35m - 40m as best. INEOS might decide he suits their possession based style of play. Rashford leaving would be a positive, and he can be replaced by Garnacho. I rated Bella Kotchap with Southampton in the PL. Tosin from Fulham on a free is a no brainer. I totally agree with you on Branthwaite. You would need truckloads of cash to get Neves and Silva from Benfica. I don’t see Neves and Mainoo being physical enough as a duo. Sesko would be very exciting, all round play is superb.

@@Zamunda-that actually makes him “injury prone”

[@Zamunda-]

@@neoncolourmarker8yearsago196 if it's a regular occurrence then it will not be called freak. Another human being put their weight on his outstretched leg and damaged the knee muscles. That is freak. Getting niggling muscle injuries every other month like Martial and Shaw is injury prone.

[@lexxihd5843]

@@neoncolourmarker8yearsago196 I would call it unlucky. He's got one because the medical team didn't see that the previous injury hadn't healed fully yet and he got the other because a 85kg man fell on his knee sideways.

An 18 and a 19 year old as our base of midfield and you’re surely asking for trouble, especially if you’re selling your two experienced midfielders in Casemiro and Eriksen

[@R.Mousasi]

Bardaghi just tore his acl. Will be out for 9 months sadly Bella Kotchap was been injured with weird injuries the whole time. Hasn't looked good at PSV for a second.

[@btomlinson21]

I love every single player you just listed here Ste. I’m excited for this historically bad season to end so we can finally begin to turn the page on the lot of them hangers on. We’re finally getting the right people in the right positions to fix everything that twat Woodward did to our club. It’s going to be a GREAT summer I can feel it !

[@Fumblingthroughlifeonline]

We need to bag Bailey, Paulinha & Braithwaite. Bring Greenwood back to rotate with Hojlund & give kambwala more games.

[@chrish3208]

Silva and Neves are very unlikely given Utd aren't going to be spending much over £50m on any individual player. Todibo is currently the most likely CB signing.

[@qy1891]

Jesus thats alot of players in & out for 1 window

[@BM-qn6fg]

Even if we got Silve, Neves and Sesko that’s good business.

[@preetjitsingh328]

Free agent for Martial replacement: Ilhenacho. He will be a good backup to Greenwood if he is around. He will overtake Rasmus within a season if Rasmus stays and Greenwood goes.

[@ste4392]

I'll just say it again. No one is talking about Rashford's number. It's his attitude

[@chucklam8349]

Disagree re Garnacho replacing Rashford, he's clearly still learning but could definitely be the one, although I do agree that if Rashford goes we need to buy another for that position.

[@MichaelEnright-gk6yc]

This is a huge job squad overhaul get our new player's in early so we don't have the debacles of last minute signings of everyone elses leftovers

[@mettycarpenter3267]

Antonio Silva would become our Version of Ruben Dias

[@richarde.4826]

There's still a possibility that Jadon Sancho will apologise to Ten Hag and be reintegrated into the Manchester United team.

[@acescholar8760]

An actual left back. Leif Davis and Alphie Doughty will be available for peanuts. An athletic CM needed too. Allan Varela and Mats Weiffer tick all boxes

As an Irishman I cannot support your para regiment but I respect your service for your country

[@paullees18]

What nonsense are you spewing out of your mouth?

[@user-hz7yq3nq5j]

like your thinking thinking

[@kezleven8755]

May take ETH loves the LCB to be a left footed and RCB right footed .. we need a backup LCB and first-team RCB so Silva would do but Armel Bella-Kotchap is right foot and w have Kambwala , I would go for Branthwaite seem to be gd on both feet so him a A.Silva would be gd plus Kambwala and Martinez let jonny be 5th Nico William he look ready to make the move and bench Antony .. (14 Assists / 7 goal) Midfield - Neves I agree, I would also get Hjulmand from Porto for me he looks between a Franky De jong and Carrick, I want somebody that will free up Kobbie. I would go with a Danny Welbeck can share 2nd striker spot with weathley depending on game and help him and Hoj .. my 5 A.Silva Branthwaite ---------------- Hjulmand Neves ------------- Nico William D.Welbeck (bonus as he is free) gd decade out of 4 of them

[@tw1zzn]

Roony Bardghji injured at FCK training today, looking at 9-12 months out now

[@AndalusianIrish]

Why does no one ever mention Vangelis Pavlidis??!!
