They're both world class, and getting either would be a phenomenal coup for the club. But as I said, I think they are a bit differently positionally and style-wise, and for this reason, with Suarez going, push come to shove I would prefer Sanchez. If I had to put them into a 'midfielder' or 'forward' bracket, I would put Di Maria in the former and Sanchez into the latter. (A bit like I would with Coutinho and Sterling, despite them often vying for/playing the same position) Sanchez scores more goals. He likes to run in behind and has the pace to do it. Di Maria is a bit more 'classy', maybe has better vision and would have the technical ability and intelligence to feel really comfortable playing a little deeper - would have no problem functioning in the '2' of the 1-2 midfield imo. Sanchez couldn't play here. And Sanchez would have no problem functioning in the front 2 alongside Sturridge if so needed. Di Maria wouldn't be too effective in this role. So for this reason, with Suarez on his way out, I would love Sanchez as I'm sure he'd bring a good deal of goals to the table. I totally understand those who think Di Maria is a better player (maybe he is), and if he was available I'd love it if we were in for him, but Sanchez would be my pick of the 2. We're not going to get either though

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.

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.

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.
