Ed002, with reports of United looking for 3 major signings in the summer.
What are the odds those 3 are:
Jadon Sancho (£100m)
Jack Grealish (£60m)
Timo Werner (£50m Release Clause)
Other options would be Moussa Dembele and James Maddison.
Obviously this is before any outgoings which is looking like Pogba then a Cm is needed as well.
Any news regarding those 3 major signings?
{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of the club stating that they will be making three "major transfers" this summer and I certainly cannot give you odds on all of these players signing I am afraid. As for the news about these three players, I would not expect Jadon Sancho to join Manchester United although they are keen - he will move in the summer but I would not hold your breath it will be to Manchester. Jack Grealish remains viable for Manchester United as he can play on the left and in a more attacking role - Aston Villa will need to let him go if relegated and have an FFP issue that could manifest itself as early as this coming summer - MU may well look to exploit that as he offers something different to Bruno Fernandes and other options are off the table. UNless there has been a change of heart, Manchester United's interest in Timo Werner has gone - release clauses are not relevant.}

Thanks fir info Ed002.
Guessing Sanch more likely to go to Chelsea.

Hopefully the club have a fallback option for the RW position.
another season of fudging with mata, james, pereira and lingard would be another season wasted.

Re Timo Werner I have seen lots of reports that if he is going to come to England it will be to Liverpool who have made contact. No idea how true this is but this is a rumour site.
{Ed002's Note - There is no agreement for him to join any side.}

Werner will surely go to Bayern? Him Havertz and Sane look like their main targets.

Lewandowski still doesn't look like slowing down. So Werner moving to Bayern wouldn't make him a automatic starter possibly.
Also, if we go in for Grealish, I believe he may operate more advanced in a 3 man midfield alongside Bruno and McTominay.
Finally, if Sancho and Ziyech are striked off our list, I'm not sure who will be the ideal target for the RW role.

Where does Jude Bellingham play exactly?
13 Feb 2020 09:46:49
Welsh, at St Andrews every other week😂
On a serious note he is still very young and his final position might change. He has played as a holding midfielder, box to box, attacking midfielder and on the wings. He might have even played a game or two just off the striker. I think long term he'll be a No.8, all action midfielder who pushes forward and scores and assists goals.
Similar to Bruno Fernandes, could eventually be his successor given that he is 10 years his junior. But Jude needs to be playing to progress. With Garner in our squad I'm not convinced that we need a player like Bellingham.

There are good updates from Ed002 regarding Sancho on European page and why it will be difficult to sign him (notably utd) .
{Ed001's Note - it was done in December. It is a trial in the north-east corner for up to 1,500 rail seats.}
