Manchester United lost the Premier League title this season by one point. However, there was much more in it than that. They lost twice to Chelsea, albeit due to some dodgy decisions, lost to relegated Burnley, and never really looked very convincing in most games against the big teams. The squad wasn't strong enough to overcome Bayern Munich, and when Rooney was clearly unfit, they risked his long-term fitness by playing him - a clear indication that an injured Rooney is still better than a fully-fit Berbatov.
Now, Ferguson has brought in Hernandez and Smalling. Both are young talents, but I am pretty certain that there is no way that they will play a huge role next season. I mean, how can they? I have heard that Hernandez is a tricky striker, and would trouble defenders on his day. But is he really ready for Manchester United's first team? When Manchester City and Chelsea will be spending £40-50 million on world class strikers like Aguero or even Torres, Manchester United go for Hernandez?
As for Smalling, well the performances I have seen him display for Fulham haven't been the most convincing to say the least. If we were to buy another defender, they would have to be the type of Vidic - a strong, powerful, powerhouse, who gets his head on everything.
Manchester United need some creativity and some goals. David Silva seems the perfect replacement for Giggs, and with Nani's performances dramatically improving, Silva and Nani could play on bothe wings with Valencia, either an excellent substitute or a player in a rotational system on the wings.
As for the centre, United need a "new" Paul Scholes. Maybe young Jack Rodwell.
In the forward section, they definitely need another World Class striker. Such as Villa. Or maybe just an improvement in Berbatov, after all, we know he has the ability.
This obviously will cost a lot of money, however with the sale of some player inevitable, United should be able to cope. The £80 million from the sale of Ronaldo is there also.
But most importantly, Manchester United are the biggest club in the world. They need to be winning trophies, and if that means bringing in world class players to revive the team, then so be it. Take the loss now, and reek the benefits in the long run.
