Proven Veteran probably doesn't even know what Man U has done in the past month, or that Man U actually won something last season. Even with the big EPL TV cash and the Brexit-deflated GBP that makes EPL teams pay Mozgov-like prices for players, you won't see someone like Stoke City pay Ronaldo-level salaries or even get Ronaldo-level superstars. Only teams that are consistently contending for the Champions League trophy get Bales, Messis, Suarezes, Neymars, and Di Marias. (All of the listed are soccer equivalents of Durant.)
