United linked with Chris Rigg from Sunderland with a quote “ he’s the closest thing to Brian Robson that I’ve sen”
Robbo was the best player in the team back in the 80’s if he’s half as good I’d be impressed
Any truth in it?

United have been tracking him for some time now so there's hope.

I would be happy if he and Nypan each signed in the New Year and remained at their current clubs - on-loan - until season's end.

Just imagining those two joining Mainoo, Kone, Ugarte, Collyer and Gore to create depth of incredible quality to our midfield for years to come makes for a vision of real progress for the club.

The legacy of the great moronic pit-dig that was Brexit is now finally being managed with purpose, instead of the stumble-stew we saw before, and I'm keen to see how it pays off.

Hyperbole statement and hard to see another player like Robson again.

Watched the kid from Leeds a few times last year that spurs bought I think for big money and he is not worth it.

Vermeeren who were linked with a couple of years ago similar player but better passing range went for half that to Athletico and now out on loan somewhere.

like the look of the kid we have possibly got from Arsenal -no announcemnet yet - looked at a few clips of him, reminds me a bit of Greenwood, similar style and movement both just seem to have a nose for goals.

Albey,

Because we are one of the biggest clubs in the world with loads of money mate, surely you don’t need to ask that, he might not come to us but we still have a bit of a pull, especially on some young players at the moment it seems.

{Ed002's Note - Chris Rigg (CM) Kiddie spotted by Chelsea scouts when watching another Sunderland player. Of an age where he can reach the position of being Club Developed as well as Home Grown. Liverpool and Manchester United have sent scouts.}

Hi Ed002

I hope all is well with you. In terms of as you say sent scouts, clubs like Liverpool, Chelsea, United how many players do they scout annually and is this a weekly occurrence where multiple players are being scouted.

{Ed002's Note - Scouts attend at least one game a week and often work for multiple clubs. Senior scouts will look to specific players based on the advice of the scouting system.}
