I was going to comment and say exactly the same thing. He may be old, but you'll struggle to find a better calibre striker than Ibra. He really is one of the very best strikers in Europe, so if you can't score goals with him on the team than how can you? Don't try to tell me that Mkhi, Lingard, Martial, Rooney, Mata, Rashford and Ibra can't score goals because they haven't got enough quality. Of course they can.
You also have Pogba on the team, who has such immense potential, and was arguably one of Europe's very best midfielders at Juve under Conte. Mourinho splashed a load of cash on him but has struggled to get the best out him at United, and he is not showing the sort of quality he did when Conte was coaching him. Here the problem is not the lack of quality in the player but the manager struggling to get the best out of him.
What I'm getting to is that Man United have a strong and deep squad, and have players that match in quality to any of the other top 6 teams. This was especially proved during the many so-called 'injury crises', where Mourinho kept complaining about the many players injured but at the same time United would still have a very strong line-up.
At the end of the day, if Mourinho is just going to try spend big again this summer by buying Griezmann and no doubt many other signings, it sets a dangerous precedent for Man United.
They are rapidly becoming the team who want to buy success.

I hate to say it given all he has done for my club Chelsea, but the United's problem lies not with the players but with the manager. Mourinho must forget spending big again on many expensive players and buying success this summer. Instead he must look at how he can pull his squad together, perhaps with a few signings to replace ageing players like Rooney and Carrick, but with the main focus on getting the very best out of the large talent pool he has at his disposal.

It is 100% possible for them. Just look at what Conte did for us at Chelsea. When he came into the club, he made a few value signings and got the very best out of the whole team. He bought Kante for 1/3 of the price of Pogba, and yet guess which Player scooped up 3 different player of the year awards. David Luiz, known to be error prone was bought back at a profit instead of buying Koulibal, because Conte did not want to pay the reported £65m Napoli wanted for him. And he made Luiz into arguably one of the best CBs in the PL. Alonso too, a former Bolton player (!) cost just £19.55m. But as valuable as these few signings were, the success hinged on Conte also getting the very best of the players he already had, particularly Costa, Hazard and Matic, who had all had a terrible last season.

David Luiz was known to be error prone, and was bought back at a profit instead of buying Koulibaly mainly because Conte did not want to pay the reported £65m Napoli wanted for him. And yet he made Luiz into arguably one of the best CBs in the PL. Alonso, a former Bolton player (!) cost just £20m, and is now an integral part of the Chelsea team. But as valuable as these few signings were, the success has also been dependent on Conte getting the very best of the players he already had, particularly Costa, Hazard and Matic, who had all had a terrible last season.

^ If that's true, then that's a pretty sad existence.

It's funny, you know, how many years I defended Chelsea's honour, when everyone else on here wanted to laugh at them. But hey, that's me, instead of you, and I'm glad I'm the better one. :)

For me, the best moments of the season were beating Chelsea 2-0 to prevent them setting a new record, and sending Arsenal home 2-0 as well. In fact, we didn't lose a single game at home all season; winning 14 out of 18.
