Yeah, in a normal world you would expect four or five of those to be starters. City started from a higher point and have successfully rebuilt without skipping a beat. Us on the other hand...That’s true, although some of those are stretching back a fair bit and Shaw and Sancho would be nailed on starters in a normal eleven (their subs would be Telles and probably Lingard in a “normal” 4-2-3-1, not a Mendy or a Ferran)
But yeah, United have been terribly run for so many years, so some points have to be given to how well City have spent. Where they technically started from and how much they spent has been absurd though.
