£212m spent, 3 loans and 2 legends - Man United are no closer to signing their most important player
In 10 years Manchester United have signed nine strikers. Four of them for a fee, three of them on loan and two ageing veterans for nothing aside from one big final contract. From Odion Ighalo and Wout Weghorst to Cristiano Ronaldo, Edinson Cavani and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. There has been no pattern to the spending and the rewards have been sparse.
