Is it tho? Imo only if we sell Martial. Zaha doesn’t play on the right and we’re not about to bench £200k a week player especially as the Glazers think Martial is Pele!!
That crossed my mind too, but Im sure when he signed the new deal he said he wanted to stay at Palace and not pursue any summer transfers, I mean it was a 5 year deal too, he coulda just did a 1 year extension if he wanted a move and get Palace a few extra quid...
Now there's a new one for United supporters: they may well want City to beat Watford in the FA Cup final on Saturday (17:00 BST, live on BBC One).
Wolves fans will be cheering on Pep Guardiola's Premier League champions too, and not just because Watford beat them in the semis.
If City win at Wembley, having already qualified for the Champions League, then Wolves - as the team who finished seventh in the Premier League - will qualify for Europe for the first time since 1980. They would go into the second qualifying round of the Europa League.
That would see United, who finished sixth in the Premier League, qualify for the Europa League group stages.
But if Watford win the first major trophy in their history, that changes everything.
The Hornets would qualify for the Europa League group stages and Wolves would miss out.
In that scenario United would go into the second qualifying round, which starts on 25 July. The problem with that? They are due to face Tottenham at 12:30 BST in Shanghai that day in the International Champions Cup, a pre-season tournament.
Because City won the Carabao Cup final, the Europa League second qualifying round spot for the winners goes to the lowest ranked Premier League team to qualify for Europe.
Among United's options would be...
Splitting their squad between the International Champions Cup and Europa League match
Trying to move the game or games to Europe, although both United and Spurs play in Singapore a few days earlier
Pulling out of the International Champions Cup and letting another team take their place
