For a bit of fun, we decided to simulate to the end of the summer transfer window, and see who FM thought the Blades would sign ahead of the 2020/21 season. Here's a look at who United decided to splash the cash on.
1. Rachid Ghezzal - Leicester City - Loan
Following a decent loan spell with Fiorentina, the Blades decided to bring the Algeria international in on a temporary deal. The 27-year-old winger was previously on the books of Monaco and Lyon. (Photo by Gabriele Maltinti/Getty Images) Photo: Gabriele Maltinti
2. Moritz Bauer - Stoke - £8.25 million
With George Baldock shockingly sold to Granada, the Blades reinvested the cash in Bauer, following his title-winning season on loan with Celtic. His 18/20 long-throw attribute could prove a potent weapon. (Photo by Catherine Ivill/Getty Images) Photo: Catherine Ivill
3. Charly Musonda - Chelsea - Loan
Another temporary spell away from one of Chelsea's enormous loan army. The Belgian's versatility will see him slot into a number of possible positions, and he looks to be a rotation option. (Photo by Albert Perez/Getty Images) Photo: Albert Perez
4. Junior Alonso - Lille - Loan
Lille boss Christophe Galtier clearly doesn't want him, having now loaned him out for three seasons on the trot. He's a seasoned Paraguay international defender with, in truth, generally poor attribute stats. (Photo by Marcos Brindicci/Getty Images) Photo: Marcos Brindicci
