#4 Manchester United can do better
Despite not being in the Champions League this season, the acquisitions of Paul Pogba – for a world record transfer fee – and Zlatan Ibrahimovic showed the world that United still have the power to attract the world’s best players to Old Trafford. And it’s hardly surprising – they’re still one of the best-supported clubs on the planet as well as one of the richest.
That’s why really, there’s no reason for them to keep hold of someone like Fellaini when they can simply go out and buy a far better player. The club have basically been linked with every player under the sun over the past few months, ranging from Renato Sanches to Kylian Mbappe to Dele Alli.
If they can truly go out and buy a world-class player or two – and there’s no reason to doubt them in the post-Pogba world – then why would they need the Belgian?
If United manage to overcome Ajax in the final of the Europa League, the point expands further as Mourinho’s side will have punched a one-way ticket to next season’s Champions League. Champions League football – along with a ton of money – seems to be the one thing most craved by top players these days and last summer it was basically the only thing that United couldn’t offer.
If they could offer it again then suddenly every world-class player on the planet becomes a viable target. Which should leave someone like Fellaini out in the cold.
