To call Arnautovic ‘dodgy’ is being polite!

FUNNY how the pundits who’d been demanding Cristiano Ronaldo be shown the door were also demanding that he be brought on at half-time after Manchester United’s lamentable first half against Brighton last Sunday. And now United have been trying to buy Marko Arnautovic (right) from Bologna. Oh dear. To call that guy ‘dodgy’ is being polite. And Adrien Rabiot from Juventus. No, no, no. It’s the same old story from United, desperately trying to buy players from a terrible negotiating position at the dog-end of the transfer window. They bought Edinson Cavani on the last day of the window two years ago when they’d known for six months that he was leaving PSG. What a shambles.

Without the 18 Premier League goals Ronaldo scored last season, United would have finished 14th. So answer me this. Who do they seriously think they can now buy, with the premium they’ll have to pay, who can score them 18 Premier League goals this season?
