Realistically if Real Madrid want rid of him he is going to leave, and there are only so many clubs who could take him. Would probably be more likely to go to someone like Juventus or PSG before us though.

This on top of profits of £146.4 million in 2013, which is expected to rise in 2014. I think you are writing United's obituary a little too soon.

I don't know what the actual stats are but my impression is that Sanchez is a better dribbler (which is an aspect of play we've obviously lost with Suarez) but he's slower and a worse finisher. But I don't think Barca want to sell Pedro (obviously with good reason). Di Maria would be a great signing. He's proven he has what it takes for Real season after season and they keep on buying players. Don't know why they don't just trust him. He wouldn't replace the goals but he's an absolute assist machine. He's a bit of a git, but at least he doesn't bite people.

In total, over £696m has gone towards interest fees, bank charges and debt repayment, with £382.9m invested in players – from the £2m signing of Edwin van der Sar a month after the takeover to the £37.1m club-record purchase of Juan Mata last month.
