Question for the Eds, if I may.

It appears that quite a few of the players we've bought were on Moyes' shopping list for United (Shaw, Herrera and now, it appears, Martial). Obviously, managers aren't going to throw away good work done before their arrival, but is this a sign that United are moving away from the manager choosing which players get bought? Or is it fairly typical? Is it likely all managers (and their scouting networks) have the same players on their list?

Thanks.

{Ed004's Note - Isn't there report saying LvG has been monitoring Martial for the past year}

Hi Ed004

Hadn't seen that. I guess there's a short short list of players to look at in reality.

Big money, but if we're in a world where De Bruyne costs £55m, well.
