I would be very surprised if they take up their option to buy. Utd have been so poor in the market in the last few years.
They are the kings of the panic buy these days.
Ferguson is the main reason for the crysis, he was outstanding manager who could win with weak squad, so he never bought special players. He left Moyes a weak Squad, and Van gaal lost with the same squad agaibst mk don 4 : 0. They had to Panic buy because benatia ,hummels and their targets were all rejecting Manchester United.
