themanchestereveningnews--2020-10-07--Ferran Soriano defends Man City business in transfer window

Ferran Soriano has explained why Manchester City had to spend heavily on a new centre-back in the transfer window .
The Blues spent around £120m on three first-team players at a time when there is extra scrutiny on top football clubs given the draining financial effect on the world from the Covid crisis and the struggles of many teams in the lower divisions as a result .
However , City also recouped a significant amount by getting over £40m for Leroy Sane and replacing him with a cheaper alternative .
More importantly , because the club view the pandemic as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two seasons their strategy was to continue to invest in the squad because it is at the core of their business .
`` I think the first thing to say is that when you look at the numbers at the end of the market they will be lower .
There are less transactions being done and some of them are more prudent ; there have been exchanges of players , loans and so on , '' he said , speaking at Leaders in Sport ’ s online forum , LeadersWeek.direct .
`` But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Covid is just a period of time and we have to carry on with our business then we have to carry on with our business and we believe that revenues will come back and the team - especially Manchester City - is the engine of our business .
`` If we do n't play good football , we have no business .
Our whole business is built on that so we ca n't negate or avoid that and we have to take some risks .
We believe that the risks we are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You have to look at the net spend , we sold Leroy Sane to Bayern Munich for €49m and that got lost , that money needed to be reinvested and we bought Ferran Torres , a similar player , for €23m so we sold for 49 and invested for 23 .
`` Sometimes these things are out of context but remember we need to continue playing good football and if we need a central defender we need a central defender .
Otamendi has done so well for us but because of his age @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do is to switch him for a younger player .
That has to be done . ''

Ferran Soriano has explained why Manchester City had to spend heavily on a new centre-back in the transfer window.
The Blues spent around £120m on three first-team players at a time when there is extra scrutiny on top football clubs given the draining financial effect on the world from the Covid crisis and the struggles of many teams in the lower divisions as a result.
However, City also recouped a significant amount by getting over £40m for Leroy Sane and replacing him with a cheaper alternative. More importantly, because the club view the pandemic as a temporary crisis that will only affect two seasons their strategy was to continue to invest in the squad because it is at the core of their business.
"I think the first thing to say is that when you look at the numbers at the end of the market they will be lower. There are less transactions being done and some of them are more prudent; there have been exchanges of players, loans and so on," he said, speaking at Leaders in Sport’s online forum, LeadersWeek.direct.
"But ultimately if you believe as we do that Covid is just a period of time and we have to carry on with our business then we have to carry on with our business and we believe that revenues will come back and the team - especially Manchester City - is the engine of our business.
"If we don't play good football, we have no business. Our whole business is built on that so we can't negate or avoid that and we have to take some risks. We believe that the risks we are taking are very well measured.

"You have to look at the net spend, we sold Leroy Sane to Bayern Munich for €49m and that got lost, that money needed to be reinvested and we bought Ferran Torres, a similar player, for €23m so we sold for 49 and invested for 23.
"Sometimes these things are out of context but remember we need to continue playing good football and if we need a central defender we need a central defender. Otamendi has done so well for us but because of his age and other things the best thing to do is to switch him for a younger player. That has to be done."

themanchestereveningnews--2020-10-07--How Man United should line up after summer transfer signings

Manchester United strengthened their squad with five new signings in the summer transfer window .
Dutch midfielder Donny van de Beek was joined by a quartet of new additions on transfer deadline day as Edinson Cavani , Alex Telles and Facundo Pellistri all agreed deals .
United also announced a deal to sign Amad Diallo at a later date .
The five new additions strengthen a United squad which saw a fair number of departures in the summer window too , but just how do they affect the starting line-up ?

It might not have been the summer transfer window which many fans envisaged but United do deserve some credit for the players who they actually did sign to bolster the squad, if not the line up.
Henderson has put pressure on De Gea in goal but the Spaniard should still be first-choice, while Lindelof's poor early season form has been unfairly amplified by the fact he is simply not match fit, he remains more reliable than Bailly.
Telles goes straight into the line-up as a more attacking alternative to Shaw but the same can't be said for Van de Beek in midfield. He's impressed early on but is best used as a back-up to Fernandes or perhaps even as an option to cut in from the left.
Cavani is a great option to have from the bench but shouldn't get priority over Martial yet and Greenwood remains the only actual decent right winger at the club, despite being a striker.
Use the selector below to pick your United side:
Tyrone Marshall
Solskjaer's options are only marginally better than they were a week ago and it's unlikely his strongest team will be looking too much different in the weeks and months ahead.
De Gea should keep his place in goal for now, having done little wrong so far, but there are issues in defence. Telles has to start ahead of Shaw. He offers more threat going forward and Shaw was poor at the weekend. The issue of who partners Maguire is no closer to being solved. Lindelof and Bailly both continue to struggle so perhaps it's time to give Tuanzebe an opportunity. It would be a bold move and he needs to build his match fitness up, but Solskjaer is running out of alternatives.
In midfield the big discussion is around Pogba and Van de Beek. Matic and Fernandes clearly have to be in the strongest midfield and for now Pogba should maintain his place. He can still be a world-class player on his day. That also gives Solskjaer the option of using Van de Beek from the bench.
Options on the bench have improved in this window and Cavani also looks like he fits that category.

The cost of the food packages has been criticised by many students , who say £17.95 is more money than their budget for the week .

"Students are currently facing unprecedented circumstances, including the threat to their physical wellbeing posed by Covid-19, and the ever present issue of financial distress, with many unable to secure part time work to support their studies.

An example of the meals provided include:
Breakfast - Pan Au Choc, homemade granola, piece of fresh fruit and fruit juice.

"The meals are delivered to the student’s accommodation and social distancing procedures are carefully observed.
"The meal delivery service is an additional provision made available to support students that wish to have their meals provided to them in this way."
