(Source: AP)The way Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho have been spending, the Premier League trophy should be returning to Manchester in May. If the overhaul of the squad, costing more than 200 million pounds, doesn’t deliver silverware there will be further uncomfortable questions for the Spaniard. Guardiola has started rebuilding from the back by recruiting fullbacks Benjamin Mendy and Kyle Walker for around 50 million pounds apiece. While the League Cup is little regarded, the Europa League provided a ticket into the Champions League _ and probably the signature of Lukaku. Brighton and Huddersfield were promoted alongside a Newcastle side making an instant return to the Premier League.
