There is always an air of caution whenever Manchester United are linked with a star name in the summer transfer window. No matter how poorly the team might have performed previously, they remain one of the biggest clubs in the world, and as a result, are always in the mix when it comes to the biggest names in football.
United's policy has always been that if a world-class talent becomes available, they will at least be in the picture, though for a deal to take place, it must represent value for money and have the approval of the manager.
It hasn't always been that way, though. In previous transfer windows, United have been guilty of bravado and trying to sign the biggest names as if to try and prove their relevance despite falling behind their rivals in the Premier League.
