Worth remembering that Utd are still cleaning up a Jose sized mess he created with the elder statesmen.
At the moment we have Lloris, Vorm, Gazza, Toby, Jan, Sissoko Rose, Wanyama 28 or over. We also have the 27 year olds Son, Eriksen, Moura, Aurier, Lamela on their way to late twenties. Adding Matic and Zaha would add to that.
It really doesn't take long for it to become a problem at your club especially when Jose is throwing new contracts at guys like Vertonghen. Then you wonder why you have a bunch of crocks and every team is running you off the park. Of course, these older players all get paid handsomely and that creates friction with the younger guys who are doing the business.
In reality, Levy needs to ensure that some of those players like Wanyama, Rose, Vorm etc are long gone by July. Preferably it would be a lot more and Jose would start a project with young players that mature together in a couple of years.
Given that he’s binned off Rose and Vorm I can’t see them having much of a future and I believe Wanyama was “fit” to be selected and he’s not touched him suggest not in his plans either.
There’s nothing wrong with having a couple of TA and Matic in and around the squad if we get some younger blood.
With the exception of 1/2 we have been connected with younger players.
If matic is a loan or 5/10 million we should take the plunge on on.
