Manchester United banter 6

19 Aug 2026 10:09:43
We should only ever wait for David Ornstein to tweet right? ?.

19 Aug 2026 12:19:58
There are doubts surrounding Baleba, but he still had some good moments last year, and his profile is exactly what we need. Obviously, it's a risk, but the upside is huge, and he and Santos can rotate. A rebuild for 150M would be great work, and if things don't quite work out, we should have scope to change it up next year.


Tielemans, Mainoo, Santos, and Baleba, with Mount, if he's ever fit, would allow for a lot of flexibility. Fingers crossed, the deal gets done!

19 Aug 2026 12:29:42
Don

Net spend is presently 32.5M, 60m for Baleba and 60m for Hall would come to 150 ish. 30 for Watkins as well would be better.

19 Aug 2026 12:23:28
Ha s that fraud Romano put out a here we go yet?

19 Aug 2026 14:54:27
Red Man, the figure I mentioned is for midfield and refers to outgoings and not a net amount. Tielemans 35M + Santos 50M + Baleba 65M. Obviously, just going off reports of the Baleba fee.
I'm not concerned about net spend, etc. I think you're being unreasonable. We've had higher net spend more than anyone else for a decade. Our net spend is so large because we overspent on players on the way down rather than buying players coming into their prime.

Are you not happy with those 3? On the previous thread, I'd have them all as tier 2 players, and of the tier 1, only Eliot Anderson has moved this summer (obviously I'm not including Rodri, who was only ever going to Spain).



If we get at least one decent fullback, I'll regard this as excellent work, and I won't give a jot about net spend. I'd love another forward player and a centre back, but not everything is possible at the same time, and sometimes that's not because of finances.

19 Aug 2026 18:50:37
Don,

Yes, it's a far better midfield than we had before as long as Baleba goes through. I said on here the other day I felt Scott would be a better choice, but to actually get a mf player like Baleba is an improvement.

Yes, we got the wrong players previously, and if you look back at my posts, you would see I often said that, Casemiro and Mount being examples.

I took loads of stick on here for saying it about Casemiro.

We now need a lb and striker, but suspect the striker may be a loan. Let's hope they finish the needs off, and look at rebuilding other parts in the coming window.

Full spend or net spend seems to be used to suit the argument, but it is relevant this period given how we did nothing in January.

19 Aug 2026 21:34:44
Net spend is down because the Hojlund fee came through this summer. But, hey ho, we're not going to agree on this topic. I think we're shaping up well. A fullback is really needed, but this will be 3 really good summer transfer windows. You seem to just ignore that and get caught up with a particular narrative.

18 Aug 2026 19:49:22
Just a final reminder with the new season kicking off this weekend. If anyone else would like to join the FPL league the joining code for the traditional league is:

2muz93

If you'd like to join the head to head league then code is:

aagh2b

Feel free to join either or both. Let's see who really knows what they're talking about.

Good luck lads and lasses.

18 Aug 2026 21:10:39
I predict I will be stone last. I am awful at FPL.

18 Aug 2026 15:47:12
We started the 2022-2023 season with a back four of Shaw, Martinez, Maguire, and Dalot. Four years and 205 league goals conceded later, we look set to start the 2026-2027 season with the same four players.

I know we've signed a few additional defenders over that four year period, but there's something about this fact that's a little depressing. None of them are good enough for a team with title winning aspirations.

18 Aug 2026 17:01:11
Maguire is a steady Eddie, but he's getting on a bit. Decent squad player and has proved so in the past. Shaw... can't believe he's still our no1, same for Dalot. As for Martinez, after a good first half to his first season, he hasn't been the same.

Injuries seem to have taken something away from him. Hopefully Yoro and Heaven can kick on, and we can transition to them moving forward. Fullbacks... who knows, but we need an upgrade there for sure.

18 Aug 2026 17:17:46
Further to that, redseven, Shaw, Maguire, Dalot were 3 of the 4 from Ole's time in 2020, which is worse.
Also, the fact that we could potentially have 5 players starting from then with Rashford and Bruno.

18 Aug 2026 20:00:42
It was stats that we needed to overhaul both midfield and defence... but there was an argument that the defence would be ok for another year. I definitely doubted that would be how it viewed come this time of the season, and, well... here we are.

We needed to be ruthless, and we bottled it.

We needed a full purge of the players that are not bought into the task.

Maybe those defenders mentioned are fully committed and that's why they are still here? The season is upon us, we are hopefully going to come out of the blocks and stake a claim for the title. Time will tell.

18 Aug 2026 20:23:34
If Martinez stays fit, and I know it's a big if, he is a very good defender.

One of the few we have that can bring the ball out from the back as well.

He's up there with Mount for me, in that if he stays injury-free, he's a big plus for the team.

18 Aug 2026 20:29:49
He played well for Argentina. I don't know why Utd didn't try to buy Romero. Yes, a madman, but a real warrior and aggressive defender.

18 Aug 2026 21:20:21
Criminal that back 4 if it starts like that.

It's actually criminal that our lb is still Luke Shaw.

18 Aug 2026 21:34:11
Jose had him pinned years ago.

18 Aug 2026 21:44:14
Oh yeah, but people on here called Jose out for bullying him. ??
But Jose bought Dalot. Not sure I can forgive him for that.
As for Maguire, he is slower than Redman would be to give a Glazer the kiss of life.


All the above are average Joe's or below.
Martinez had a great attitude, but is too small for the EPL, and has been exposed for that dozens of times over the past 4 years.

18 Aug 2026 21:52:03
More criminal is that, seeing as we have no money, we didn't go for Senesi.

18 Aug 2026 22:44:35
Martinez has played well against Haaland, so not been bullied that much. A lot of our conceded goals come from poor FB play and midfielders not tracking runners.

I think Heaven will have a breakout season this year.

He looks a top player, but needs an experienced leader next to him. I would go with him, and then rotate the experienced guys next to him. Yoro can back up Heaven.

18 Aug 2026 23:25:38
Crikey almighty, who said he got bullied? His lack of height gets exposed a lot, and if you can't see that, then I'm not sure what you're looking at, DB.
He doesn't get bullied, and has done OK v Haaland in the four games they started against each other. He shut him out twice, conceded one in one game, and a 6-3 v City when Haaland got a hat trick, so a bit mixed.


He copes well with his lack of inches in the main, and is a very good defender, but gets exposed a couple of times in every game. He then throws himself into challenges, writing checks his body can't cash.
I love his attitude, but he can't stay fit. And, when he is, there are still some big negatives that negate a lot of his positives, imo, sadly.

19 Aug 2026 09:51:42
Both Dodgy and Ken have valid points. He has often been left exposed by poor full backs. One thing he doesn't have is pace, but if our midfield is a good one, that will matter less.



I would play Martinez in front of the back four
and push Santos further forward if we don't get another midfielder. He is tenacious, a good tackler, and good at passing.

18 Aug 2026 13:43:01
Finding it convenient that we’ve been in talks with Bruno for a few months on a contract and apparently he wasn’t happy with it… now clubs are willing to offer him double etc etc. Has the feeling of a flex by his agent, don’t get me wrong he’s been brilliant for us but we have to be careful too.

There’s plenty of examples of older players getting a big payday then falling off a cliff, just look at Salah. Be interesting to see how this develops although, with the current state of our window we might give him a new big deal and try to dress that up as a success for the ownership. One to watch.

18 Aug 2026 15:11:21
Bruno is a fabulous player, but if he honestly wants to go and double his cash at 31, and play in Turkey or Saudi, then we should shake his hand and thank him for his incredible service to this club, wishing him all the best for the future.

18 Aug 2026 15:24:07
Fully agree with that, Eric.
He won't go to Turkey, I suspect, and if he wants to, then he's not for us anyway.
He turned down silly money last year, double this offer, so I think it's nonsense, but it will give the doom mongers and the negative nellies something to cry about.

18 Aug 2026 15:44:11
I wonder, would Bruno have potentially left if it wasn't a World Cup year.
I do believe, though, we hang onto players for far too long. The top managers, Jose, Pep, Sir Alex, all have a real record of letting players go when we believe they're still at the top of their game.

18 Aug 2026 16:06:54
Johnreese,

You're bang on the money there, more so, Pep. It was a good way to bring cash in and rejuvenate and strengthen the first team.

18 Aug 2026 16:25:46
I'm not sure I agree with the reasoning here. Bruno is a top class player with no indication he's slowing down at all. He could have 3 or 4 more years here. He also will have seen that the club has stopped paying silly money in contracts. I would expect the best he'd get is an extension at the same terms as he is on today.

Quite frankly, he's the only squad member worth that. The club could also taper the contract to reduce year on year, and he may accept that. If he were motivated by money he certainly wouldn't have stayed here as he was offered a king's ransom to go to Saudi.

18 Aug 2026 16:55:40
I agree with that, Eric... I just don't think we should be offering that kind of money (if true). I'm sure he'd get a rise or something similar to what he's on from us. But any more than that, then I can't see it.

18 Aug 2026 18:02:54
See my post lower down.

Looks to me like this is a big test for the football brains at the club.

Bruno is 32 in a couple of weeks. It would be absolutely incredibly daft to give him a big pay rise and extended contract.

18 Aug 2026 18:11:23
I think a pay rise is ok, Redman, but we have him for 2 more years. I wouldn't be extending that any more than one year, which we wouldn't have to trigger if his form went south.

18 Aug 2026 19:42:03
Bruno deserves a new contract and a pay rise. He's getting better, if anything. He seems like he takes care of himself, so being nearly 32 isn't an issue. I'd give him a pay rise and a 3-year contract.

We are a better team with him, and it would cost a fortune to try and replace him. If, in 2 years' time, we lose him for a minimal fee but we've won some trophies and have a replacement, that wouldn't be an issue.

18 Aug 2026 20:01:11
I mean, we still hang onto this idea that professional footballers are done by the age of 32. But, in truth, with modern sports science, many top players are able to continue playing at the elite level well into their mid and even late 30s now.

Bruno is probably coming off his best season for us at the age of 31; there is no reason why he can't keep playing at this level for another 3 or 4 years, ala Modric. He has always had an impeccable fitness record, and is hardly ever injured. He might not be able to play 50+ games every season at 35 years old, but he could still play an important role.



Now, that doesn't mean give him a 5 year deal, but a 3 year plus 1 deal shouldn't be too much of an issue. I also trust that he's the kind of man who, if his performances dropped right off, he'd take a move to Saudi or somewhere, rather than diminish his legacy at United.

Let's be honest, we are starting the season and Casemiro, even at 34, will be missed, and he could have easily contributed to our upcoming season if he had stayed. While Bruno's game doesn't rely on physical traits as much as Casemiro's does, in theory he should be able to adapt and contribute at a high level for longer.

18 Aug 2026 20:26:14
Who else brings the same creativity to the team?

I get the 'holding in too long' arguments.

But we've all seen the (few) games without Bruno, and we look lost going forward.

18 Aug 2026 22:48:32
We have Cunha lined up to replace him. There should be no twisted arms here. But they may well give him a salary bump and an extra year to protect his future value to the club. After his last season, it is justified, I think.

18 Aug 2026 23:30:29
Agree, db.
I'd have been happy to sell him a couple of years ago.
He was 1st class last season. I agree with all your rationale above. Give him a modest increase and a further year. So it's w years with an option of a 3rd. If his form and influence is less in 2 years, you don't exercise the option.

19 Aug 2026 08:23:15
Shappy, if a player of the like of Bruno Fernandes wants to prolong his career in a really meaningful way, like Modric, he needs to leave the EPL by 33 at the latest. Modric went earlier than that.
I can't think of too many in the EPL contributing too much at 33-plus, playing an all-action style like Bruno Fernandes.

19 Aug 2026 16:03:40
Like Becks and Ronnie???

18 Aug 2026 12:46:24
In an ideal world, we would sign a LB, CM and a ST before the window closes. However, we don't live in an ideal world. While we get fixated on Manchester United, all other clubs face the same dilemmas that we do. Having a list of areas that need improvement, but probably not able to do everything on the list, miss out on targets, have to make compromises, and make signings that don't meet expectations.

The thing about squad improvement is that it also never ends. Let's say we got a LB, CM and a ST this summer on top of what we have already signed. Does that mean our squad is now perfect? Or do we then need a RB, CB and LW?

Maybe some of our younger players have their development stall or go off the rails, maybe a key player suffers a serious injury, maybe a signing doesn't work out, or a player starts to decline.

Building a squad is a never ending task. If you choose to look for the negatives you'll never be content with your club's summer signings. In fact you'll never be happy with your club full stop.



I think we will still make one or two more signings, a LB and maybe a midfielder. I don't think we will sign a ST and off all the key positions we had to fill this summer a back up/rotation ST is probably the least important position. Especially if we sign a LB meaning Dorgu can play more on the LW, and we keep Rashford who can cover both LW and ST.

Is it ideal? No, of course not, but it's probably the best case scenario given the circumstances.

The potential options if you believe the media seems to be Hall (highly unlikely at this point), Lewis-Skelly, Seys, Salinas and Raum for LB, with Baleba, Berge, Adams, and Manu Kone linked in midfield.
Although looking at some of our business so far this summer, I wouldn't be surprised if we suddenly announced a player we haven't been widely linked with.

That said, we have a lot of young players who could step up and have a more impactful season this year. Players such as Yoro, Heaven, Mainoo, Amad, Sesko and Lacey.

18 Aug 2026 14:06:34
Seys' club say he isn't for sale. Ditto Lewis Hall.
Skelly wants to stay, and, having performed so well on Sunday, I can't see him leaving. Baleba is injured. I don't know how badly.

You would hope that, with all the investment in the youth academy and scouting, the club would have been thinking about a successor to Shaw. Amass is so clearly too lightweight at the moment, and another option should have been in the pipeline.

Kone, out of all the midfield options you named, seems a good option, but if he was really wanted and available you would have thought he would have been pursued already.



The longer Utd leave it to sign someone, any selling club will know of the necessity and can ask what they like. They themselves will have limited time to get a replacement. It also gives Carrick minimal time to integrate a new player.

This problem is not only Utds but the list of possible signings isn't inspiring.

18 Aug 2026 14:58:21
If Utd were keen on Kone, a deal would have been done by now.

An LB, CB and another CM are definitely needed.

18 Aug 2026 10:51:30
After Mad Hatter’s comment the other day that we are no longer a Rolls Royce team, it got me thinking, what kind of car would you describe United as now?

I will go with Jaguar XJ. The badge still means something. The shape still turns heads. People remember when it represented class, power and status.

But underneath, it’s ageing, temperamental, expensive to keep fixing, and too often slower than newer, better engineered rivals that don’t have half the romance.

Every few months it starts beautifully and you think, there it is, still got it. Then the electrics fail.

18 Aug 2026 13:17:22
Chevrolet Vega.

American made. Looks flashy, but it's a disaster under the hood and covered in rust.

18 Aug 2026 13:45:45
3rd last season, so we are a lot less rusty than some under the bonnet.
The team immediately above us lost the best manager in the world and the best midfielder in the world.
Last season.
City dis-improved.
United improved.
Liverpool dis-improved.
As did Spurs, as did Villa, as did Chelsea.
imo we go into the season in better shadowing than any of the above, bar Arsenal.


That's not to say we are guaranteed to do as well as we did in 2nd half of last season, which was, in fact, better than anybody else, including Arsenal.
With 2 or 3 more astute signings, we are in a better position to compete than most give credit for imo.

18 Aug 2026 14:15:37
Liverpool have got a very good manager. If Jeff Bezos invests in them, I think it shows a belief that they are going to get better to enable worldwide profits to flow. They will surely sign a few good players before the end of the window, especially a winger.

Chelsea have bought well and only the domestic competitions to play for.

Spurs likewise.

Villa have a very good manager and bought well.

City are at a cross roads, having lost Pep, Stones, Silva and Rodri.

All that said, their first team, on paper at least, is far better than us.
The only real weakness they have is defence, but even that is better than ours.

Our defence is seriously lacking, and the midfield has definitely been improved, but still needs more.

My biggest worry is if Bruno gets injured. There is no obvious backup apart from Mount, who is too injury prone.

18 Aug 2026 14:16:32
Ken, this is a very spot on, sit back kind of take.
We are so focused on who we have signed etc. We dare not look at the teams around us. None of which, imo, look like they have improved.

And we still have 2 more weeks of the window to go where I think we will surprise a few.

18 Aug 2026 15:26:17
You worry too much about things you can't have an impact o Salford. Its not good for your hairline?

17 Aug 2026 23:39:20
A few more pounds for the kitty!

Ethan Ennis has completed a transfer to Stockport.

Fee thought to be £700,000 (approx), 50% sell on clause, along with matching rights and buy back clause.

Wish him well.

18 Aug 2026 10:42:38
We have had a bit of a dry spell from the academy lately. Mainoo, who made his debut in 2023, is probably the last one to truly make the first team.

Hopefully, with the likes of Lacy, the Fletchers and JJ, we get to see a few more break into the first team over the next 2 years.

18 Aug 2026 11:03:06
Yay, that's two weeks of Rashford sorted then.

18 Aug 2026 12:27:09
JJ's still young. We could lose him for nothing. He can't sign a pro contract until he's 17. Apparently, he's also got an Irish passport, which makes him more easily acquirable by European clubs.

18 Aug 2026 15:00:22
The Fletcher twins are like Amass, Collyer, Gore, to name a few... In that, they are simply not good enough. We are wise to move them on and insert necessary sell on and buy back clauses.

17 Aug 2026 21:32:16
Why can we never go after players like Mike Godts and Bouaddi? These players will become world class.

17 Aug 2026 22:23:50
Because we're shopping at Aldi, not Harrods, and we're nowhere near the level of City or PSG right now.

17 Aug 2026 22:51:48
Utd are a risk to prospective players. While some will be happy to join, others will want CL every season. This can't be guaranteed, given how inconsistent Utd have been.

Whilst nothing is ever guaranteed, other clubs have better squads, consistently challenge for the league, and are competitive in Europe.



Utd are no longer a Rolls-Royce team. History is one thing, the club's current inconsistencies mean they pose a risk to players. Notably, players have seemingly seen their careers stall at Utd.

Utd are down the pecking list against the big teams. The club must be savvy instead.

17 Aug 2026 23:40:13
We need players that are willing to put in the effort to reach the destination.

18 Aug 2026 08:38:39
If United went for those two players, the reaction to signing an 18 year old and 21 year old to help us progress would still be one of outrage and frustration, with the comments of needing to sign ready made players.

18 Aug 2026 10:41:02
Right now, we do need ready made players. It's unfair to place such a huge burden on very young players.

Unless they are really really exceptional, like Rooney or Ronaldo, I would rather we steadied the ship, bought players who could handle the pressure now, and then, when we are really fighting for titles consistently, sign these players when they are in their prime around 24yrs old.



If we sign these youngsters now, they might stay for a few years, and if successful they will then be off to Real or Barca. I don't want us to grow players and then watch other clubs get them at their peak.

18 Aug 2026 12:23:40
We do make signings like that. Yoro and Sesko are probably the most recent examples of us going out and signing the top young prospect in world football in their position. You could also argue Lammens was a top rated young GK.

Over the last 5-6 years we also did it with Amad Diallo, Rasmus Hojlund, Antony, and Jason Sancho.



Maybe Andrey Santos will reach his world class potential.

That's maybe 8 top class young signings made with top class potential over the past 5 or 6 years. Some work out, some don't. We can't sign them all.

17 Aug 2026 21:08:53
So we have Bruno at 31 in the last year of his contract and now he is suddenly subject to interest from Turkey that would double his pay. The club say not for sale. What is the betting the club will suddenly want to offer him a new 3 year contract at double what he is on with us?

It’s the age old game and previously the club fell for it, just look at Rashford.

I know you will tell me we must keep him at all costs but if we fall for the game, give him the contract, we are no better than when Woodward was in charge.

City are going to get £65m for Rodri and refresh with a younger player. Which direction are United going in?

17 Aug 2026 21:26:03
Redman,

It is quite concerning. However, I'll reserve judgement until the transfer window is closed.

17 Aug 2026 21:32:59
It should never have got to this point.

17 Aug 2026 21:45:17
Wouldn't trust these clowns to replace him with any money from a transfer if he leaves.

But rumours are circulating now that the reason for the lack of activity is that Wilcock is once again butting in and wants to go with what he sees rather than data.

Madness. They have a team dedicated to a role, and they are not following their advice.

17 Aug 2026 22:25:00
The problem is that Bruno is currently irreplaceable. Our entire attacking system is dependent upon him. For the past few seasons, it has often been the case that we can't create opportunities if Bruno isn't playing well.



I can understand why the club won't consider selling him. But this is a result of successive failures to develop an attacking system that isn't completely dependent on one player.

17 Aug 2026 22:40:16
Does make you wonder.

Ugarte for example. On paper, pre-injury, he's the type of player we're all saying we ought to be looking for. Sadly I think he's been misused at Utd. He's a dirty-work player, not a ball carrier or progressor.

Are the club reluctant to lay money on short-term fixes, and wait for him to come back and see how he does under Carrick?

Feels like too many cooks to me, in the club, and nobody is aligned.

Screams of a panic loan of someone late in the window.

18 Aug 2026 01:14:21
We had no problem attacking wise, when Bruno was not a creator in Amorim era, Danny. In fact, the metrics were better then than after Amorim in which Bruno went back to his number ten position and was our "creator".

18 Aug 2026 09:02:14
Yeah, let's push Bruno back again. That worked a treat, eh?

Didn't have a problem attacking, but had a massive one putting that spherical thing in that netty thing!

18 Aug 2026 10:23:24
You can't compare Bruno to Rashford. Bruno's stats are mad. He was EPL Player of the Year last year, and his contribution has been outstanding. Rashford was always streaky and had one very good season, absolutely no comparison.

We now have football people making the decision, not Woodward. Maybe we need to trust them.

18 Aug 2026 10:35:32
Ajh

So give him 400k a week until he is 35? Are we mad?

18 Aug 2026 11:36:36
Keefy, we had no problem, full stop, my friend.
We were creating more without him in the ten position, and were playing better, attacking wise, as a team. That's facts.
The conversion rate you speak (if I understand correctly) is a whole different matter.

18 Aug 2026 11:42:16
Red Man, one of the few times I agree. I wouldn't give him 400 a week, his best years are behind him. Players must be paid based on what they can bring, rather than the hype and what they have already brought in the past. These decisions, often enough, come back to bite you.

Good teams know when to let a player go and replace them. It would be a huge mistake to give such a contract to Bruno, without saying that he can't help for, say, 1-2 years. We would be better off building the team around a younger player.

18 Aug 2026 11:57:12
Lucky you're not deciding, Heaven.

18 Aug 2026 12:28:46
We have a plus one in his deal, which we could activate, meaning that, technically, he has two years (potentially) on his deal.

The club are negotiating a possible new deal, but if they can't negotiate a deal they feel represents value to the club, then they will either let him leave next summer on a free, or activate the one-year extension.



These are not the same people running the club, and making the decisions that the previous regime did. I doubt they will be offering a 31-year-old a 5-year deal on huge wages. It'll more likely be a 3-year deal (maybe even a 2 + 1) on a slight increase in wages (maybe performance related) to remove or increase the buy out option in his current deal.

18 Aug 2026 13:05:19
No chance he will be offered 400k per week, imo. Those silly days are behind us, hopefully, keeping players past their best on silly wages, and I've seen no suggestion of it. Trigger his extension next season and let him leave for free in 2 years at 33/4, no issue.
Can't understand why people get their knickers in a twist.

18 Aug 2026 17:10:06
Angelred, lucky I and you don't decide. But I think we can speak some facts, unless you want to be blinded, and speak only facts that suit you.
The facts say, under Amorim and without Bruno at 10, we were one of the best attacking teams. Bear in mind that the front three didn't come together at the time, but still we were better attacking-wise.

I find the short minded nature of some fans hilarious.

Complaining about Bruno's age as if we haven't just finished a season where the 34-year-old Casemiro was one of our best and most important players.

While Casemiro's game relies far more on physicality (which will decline with age) than Bruno's game does.

With modern sports science, players are able to compete at the elite level for much longer than they used to.



Players like Messi, Ronaldo, Zlatan, Cavani, Modric, Lewandowski, and Harry Kane have all put in world-class seasons many times over after hitting the age of 30.

There is no reason whatsoever to suggest that Bruno cannot continue to be a top player for the next 3-4 years, maybe even longer.

32 is the new 27 in football now, it seems.

Heaven, Goals win games. I couldn't give a rats how 'good' we look going forward. If the ball ain't in the net, it means nothing. That is the only stat that counts. FACT!

Yes, we had a slightly better creation rate with RA, but under Carrick we converted more goals per 90 mins, scored more per 90, and had more shots on target.

Not MUFc related but because we are connected through football.

Wishing Jamal Musiala a speedy and full recovery ?❤️

That was a really worrying moment to see. Hopefully he’s okay, gets plenty of rest, and there are no underlying issues.

Football comes second — his health is what matters most. ?

Stay strong, Jamal. We’re all wishing you the very best! ?⚽️

Get well soon, Musiala! ❤️
