Option 1 - Thiago Alcantara - failed
Option 2 - Cesc Frabregas - failed
Option 3 - Ilkay Gungogan - not sure
Option 4 - retrain Welbeck to CM since he cannot score.

Yes he scores like 3 goals during this pre season friendlies but Luke Chadwick also scored twice against Malaysia haha

Modric is good, but Man Utd need to add steel to the midfield. The type of Essien or Makelele who has strength and stamina that can do the dirty job and at the same time can pass and has good long range shot. Gundogan fits the criteria.

damn 40M is too expensive even for fabregas.

i think fabregas is already agree to join man utd, there's no other explanation on why man utd launched a third bid.
