Massive spending is needed in order for Manchester United to compete with neighbours Manchester City, according to manager Jose Mourinho.

His statements came on Saturday in the wake of the Red Devils' 2-2 draw at home to Burnley.

"Man City have bought defenders for the price of a striker," he said after their slip-up.

"It isn't enough, it isn't enough," he added of the 300 million euros that he has spent since his arrival at Old Trafford.

After those statements, we have decided to 'help' the former Real Madrid boss by building a team for 300 million euros capable of competing with the Citizens.

To calculate the price of players, we have taken into account their release clause if they have one (such as Antoine Griezmann or Alvaro Odriozola) and their value, according to Transfermarkt for players who don't have a buyout clause. Alex Sandro, Marco Verratti and Paulo Dybala all fall into that latter category.

In addition, we also took advantage of several players who are available on a free at the end of their contract, such as Kepa, Miranda, Giorgio Chiellini, Leon Goretzka, Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez. READ MORE ON
