Ed002 are utd interested in Lucas Hernandez.

{Ed002's Note - There was interest in Lucas Hernandez from Mr Mourinho but I would expect interest will have gone with Shaw agreeing a new contract. Atletico will look to hang on to the player and have him sign a new contract but they have been using him as a CB instead of his preferred LB position where Filipe Luis has been playing. Atletico asked too high a price for Filipe in the summer and at his age it killed the chance of a move. With his contract running down he will be allowed to move on and Atletico will attempt to fend off interest from Bayern Munich by adding a CB as soon as they can, possibly January if they can persuade the player they want to make the move and then Hernandez can return to his preferred role.}

Thanks for the info, we should be trying to sign him, shaw still seems injury prone, not to mention his form he seems to have gone back to being poor since he signed his contract.

@Ed002,

You mentioned that the club might go ahead with trying to sign players that Jose might not have wanted like Douglas Costa, is Toby Alderweireld on that list too? Or does the new contract to Smalling mean we won't sign a center back in January?

{Ed002's Note - Toby Alderweireld was the player Mr Mourinho wanted in the summer when the club refused to sanction a purchase. As he has still not signed a contract he will be able to leave as a free agent in the summer. If Manchester United were to move for him it would certainly show considerable disrespect for the previous coach and cement the views of many about the club - all of which should make it unlikely in my view.}
