How much will we spend this Summer?

Don't think we'll get a defensive midfielder even though we really need one IMO. Guessing:
Incoming:
  • Pau Torres - 50m
  • Kieran Trippier - 10m
  • Jadon Sancho - 80m
  • Tom Heaton - 0m
Total - 140m

Outgoing:
  • Juan Mata - 0m
  • Dan James - 20m
  • Jesse Lingard - 25m
  • Axel Tuanzebe - 15m
  • David De Gea - 10m
  • Sergio Romero - 0m
  • Lee Grant - Retire
  • Diego Dalot - 15m
  • Andreas Pereira - 10m
  • Tahith Chong - 5m
  • Brandon Williams - loan
  • Teden Mengi - loan
  • Facundo Pellistri - loan
  • James Garner - loan
  • Ethan Laird - loan
  • Anthony Elanga - loan
Total: 100m
Net: 40m

Squad:
GK - Henderson, Heaton, Bishop
RB - Wan Bissaka, Trippier
CB: Maguire, Torres, Lindelof, Bailly, Jones
LB: Shaw, Telles
DM/CM: Fred, McTominay, Van de Beek, Matic
AM/CM: Fernandes, Pogba, Hannibal
LW: Rashford, Martial
RW: Sancho, Amad
CF: Cavani, Greenwood

I think your incomings are about as good as it can get realistically, though I think Trippier might be out of our range (more likely to cost around £20m IMO). I don't see us shipping out that many either unfortunately. I think DDG will stay one more season, and will probably have another fight for the number one spot with Henderson.

Don't think there's a chance we keep both DDG and Henderson for another season, for either of their sakes. Whoever we keep it'll be a stop gap anyway. Tbh I'd be ok with getting rid of both and bringing in Donnarumma on a free, but thats unlikely.

In terms of outgoings, it's really just all the loanees plus Dan James (or maybe Martial instead) as I think we'll bring in Sancho, one of the goalkeepers (as well bring in a backup), and Tuanzebe or maybe Bailly (as well bring in a CB). So its like for like for the most part, loaning out some youth, and trying to sell those who were loaned out last year.

I'd also probably add a deeper midfielder in here. With the likes of Ruben Neves and Bissouma available for 35m, we'd do well to hop on one of them and let Matic go.
 
Around £80-100m net

Out: £100m
Lingard: £25m
James: £20m
De Gea: £15m
Pogba: £40m

In: £200m
CB: £50-£60m
CM: £50-70m
Sancho: £70m

Pogba and De Gea will be key to decide our transfer window as they won't be easy to get rid with their wages and contract situation, I wouldn't be against offloading Henderson instead as he will command a bigger fee and easier to sell.
