But money fit be wahala for United, as dem fit no match Newcastle offer. To sign another big-money striker fit scatter dem budget, especially since midfield still get issues.
Casemiro dey show signs of aging, and Manuel Ugarte never balance well for Old Trafford.
Dem still dey reason to drop Bruno Fernandes deeper for midfield, but if dem try am, e fit reduce di team chance to push for Champions League spot, as Bruno best position na number 10.

If Villa lose Watkins, Unai Emery go get work to find replacement, and e go affect dem own hope to reach Europe.
