Sadly I think they need 2 bud. Not both DMs but they need 2 CMs.A defensive midfielder should be a priority in the summer. Criminal United didn’t buy one last summer.

Can you post without being condescending? Serious question.Oh yeah let's pick on two of the usual fall guys, and excuse everybody else, do some of you watch or understand the game? Serious question.

Thing is... To me CM is the most important position in football. Ok sure top goalscorers get the plaudits but to me CM is the heart beat of the team. They protect the back 4 and they are supposed to set the tempo and to create openings with their passing. And for so long now (the last few Fergie years as well) they've overlooked the position.I mean let’s be honest these two are nowhere near the level of the centre mids at city, Liverpool or Chelsea.
It isn’t their fault the club hasn’t signed better players over the last 4 years.
The club need to sign 2 or 3 quality centre mids this summer.
Maybe you should try. Watch the passages of play I described, and if you can let them go then fair enough, but I can't.No. next question.

Liverpools midfield is a million times better than Uniteds. Fabinho is a really good player, Henderson does what he needs to do to let others play and then they have players like Keita and Thiago who are better than what United have.I don't think you can really say this is the most important area of the pitch to be a top side you need to all work together. On paper Liverpool don't have a great midfield but it works together to protect the defence as they rely on the full backs as creative players and they have 3 forwards who are all hungry goal scorers.
They haven't necessarily over looked it.
Fellaini £30, Herrera £30, Blind £15m, Schiederlin £25m, Schweinstieger £15m, Pogba £90m, Matic £40m, Fred £55m, VDB £40m, Bruno £60m.

In terms of investment in midfield. I mean sure you can point to who they've signed but look at the names. Fellaini was a bad signing before he even played a game. Blind played in defense. Schweinsteiger was way past his best. Fred? VDB is he a midfielder? Bruno isn't.

Fred stood still outside the area for the second goal. McTominay letting Gundogan run past him for the fourth. We know they are not good enough but the lack of effort is unforgivable. Not being able to pass the ball forward when they have possesion is the biggest shortcoming.
Are we considering Henderson one of the Liverpool CMs (he is not starting anymore)? Because I don't think Henderson is markedly better than McFred, but the system and the players around Henderson are vastly superior to what McFred have. Fred had one of his best games when he played further forward and didn't have to defend. McT thrives when he has an intelligent player next to him who can receive the ball in tight spaces, like Matic. Playing together they just magnify the deficiencies in each other's game.I mean let’s be honest these two are nowhere near the level of the centre mids at city, Liverpool or Chelsea.
