Hi Ed002,

With the Transfer Deadline in the home stretch, do you believe that United will sign a DM? Or, maybe I should ask are United actively trying to sign a DM?

I appreciate it, and have a great week.

{Ed002's Note - Yes it is possible, if they can make space. Enjoy your week.}

Think VDB could be moved out on loan if a DM could signed.

Why move VDB out? I’d suggest he is the one most likely to benefit from playing alongside a proper DM.

Fred + a DM is just an even more defensive version of McFred. McTominay would benefit from having more freedom to get forward, but not as much as DVB. Pogba would benefit from the freedom, but he doesn’t put in the defensive work and would leave the DM shouldering the entire defensive workload. DVB puts in a shift defensively when needed, but would use the freedom to find space in and around the box to make things happen.

IMO, if Pogba stays, Fred has to be the one to make way for a new DM.

Any clues on who Ed ;)

{Ed002's Note - Nothing has changed. I am not aware of new targets.}

Am hoping that’s a cryptic Ed002 comment!

Ed002, regarding to your previous answer from this afternoon : James sold for 25M£+5M, is that enough space made for a DM to come in? Or will that money be allocated to Cristiano's transfer/ salary? Or will it go straight into the Glazers' pockets?

Lesson learned from Cristiano and James transfers is a transfer can be made in less than one day, I'm still hopeful for a DM tomorrow. And being greedy, also hopeful for another club than West Ham to move for Lingard.

{Ed002's Note - I don't understand the bitching, sorry. It would be a waste of my time answering.}

I don't understand your answer regarding the bitching, it was a genuine and honest question, I'm not bitching. I wanted to know if you had information about this profit from the club, will it be used for a transfer for a midfielder, or to pay Cristiano, or to pay the Glazers.

I know written communication can be misinterpreted, in my messages here I've always been thankful, I don't understand why I'm accused of bitching and wasting time, that's kind of undeserved. English is not my native language, I'm trying to be understandable.

{Ed002's Note - The “Glazer’s pockets” is typical misinformed and embarrassing post.}

Alright, thanks for clarifying. Sorry to be "embarrassing", I'm not sure I deserved to be spoken in such a condescending way.
I take from one of your previous answers that you're not aware of other new targets that the club is not actively trying for on a DM.

I'm really thankful for the informations but I think it doesn't justify adressing the posters so agressively when I've never been disrespectful or hostile, all the contrary.

{Ed002's Note - It is hardly agreessive - you are simply talking the opportunity to troll the site about the owners and make yourself look particularly stupid. But you did it very well.}

Ed,

After selling Daniel James, Does it mean we have made that space for a DM to buy?

Thanks and Hoping your having a nice day! .

{Ed002's Note - There is space to add a player.}

Now I'm a troll and stupid? I'm sorry if you feel I'm wasting your time, but telling me things like that is really agressive and unfair. I have other things in my life to do than trolling, I don't get where you see that in my post. I come here to get informations, for which again I'm grateful. I've been reading here without posting for two years, well if it's for being unfairly treated this way I won't post again. Really I'm flabbergasted, there was no malevolent intention in my post, just honest and maybe ineducated questions, but nothing deserving this agression. You clearly misinterpreted my posts, I didn't want to antagonize or anything, at least have the humility to aknowledge that. You provide good information but it doesn't give you the right to speak to people that way. I get that we can annoy you with our many and repetitive questions, but come on don't read trolling anywhere, again if I come here it's to learn things, nothing else.
I regret this negative exchange but really I did nothing to deserve it. Have a good evening.

{Ed002's Note - So what about your stupid “Glazer’s pockets” remark? Why say anything so stupid? You are welcome to contribute to the site but the purpose is not to troll the owners.}

Ericantona, we are all incredibly grateful to Ed002 for the insights brought here. I think it's a major reason for many of us tuning in. However you're experience here is not a one off. I've had the same a couple of time. Just grin and bear it. The benefits outweigh the pain.
