But I think... voice-verified

There should be a strong front two in Arsenal and Manchester City. voice-verified

And then there's going to be a chasing pack. voice-verified

And I think there's good reason to believe Michael Carrick and his coaching staff have United at the front of that chasing pack at this current point in time. voice-verified

I think the squad and the way they're building out the squad seems to be... voice-verified

It seems to be they're trying to build a squad where they're trying to get two players for every single position and are going to try and make the gap between player one and player two not that large. voice-verified

So you imagine the box-to-box role is going to be Tielemans and Mainu and they can mix and match. voice-verified

Whereas your number six position will be Santos and another football player. voice-verified

I'm still hoping United go out and get another defensive midfielder. voice-verified

But yeah, the signs are encouraging for now and they should get even more encouraging once Bruno Fernandes and everyone else gets back. voice-verified

The key word is big thing. voice-verified

So if Laurie's saying Lewis Hall for 60 million, yeah, yeah. voice-verified

I think that's a reasonable price for a fullback who could succeed Luke Shaw and be at the club for the next five, seven years. voice-verified

A 60 million signing at left back and a 40 million signing at central midfield, fine. voice-verified

I don't think Mason Mount's pre-season form should be enough to stop making essential midfield signing. voice-verified

I think Mount is a good player and could have a very important role to have in terms of as a squad player in that he can back up Bruno Fernandes as a 10, he can offer something as the 8 when Tielemans or Manu aren't there. voice-verified

But in terms of a 6... voice-verified

that person who screens the defence. voice-verified

Santos needs help. voice-verified

Santos needs backup because this could, in theory, be the most minutes Santos plays in Europe. voice-verified
