If Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the boffins at INEOS haven’t already done their sums, they might like to know that Manchester United’s collection of attackers cost just short of £300million to put together.
An attack that had gone more than six-and-half hours without a goal before Alejandro Garnacho’s double got United back into this game last night before Rasmus Hojlund snatched a dramatic winner.
Erik ten Hag’s side were in danger of becoming the first United side to go five matches without a goal for the first time since the drab days of 1981 under Dave Sexton, a very capable coach who older United fans will remember was sacked largely on the basis of the bland football his team produced.
