Manchester United Rumours Archive April 17 2013

A little far away from the dazzling heights of Falcao and Lewandowski.

I have a source from the academy and the talk is that SAF wants to send Sam Byrne out on loan in the championship/league 1 next season. He sees him as a great talent with a lot of potential.

Januzaj will stay on again at united and has being put into the gym a lot more recently to build up his strength.

Also Jesse Lingard is likely to be sold come the End of the season.

Thought it would be a nice break from the all the other talk.

Can't see us selling Lingard mate

No chance on gods earth that lingard wil b sold, I have a contact my bottom, scholes likened him to barca midfielders last year, get a grip kiddo
mick the red fireman

Can't see Lingard being sold yet, I think he will have another season to prove himself first team material.

Mick the red fireman.

You don't have to believe me. I've told you what I've heard from my friend who is involved in the youth set up.

He was unimpressive on his loan. And he's now 20 years old and the feeling is he isn't going to get to the level of Manchester United.

As with all things in football, it is subject to change. But that's what i've been told.

Well when you play about an average of 5 minutes per game as a time wasting sub its hard to impress on loan.

He trained with the first team at leicester and didn't impress. There was a reason he was a time wasting sub.

And just a quick note, he wasn't likened to Barca players, Scholes said that Lingard was small and that Barca use small players very well.

Anyway lads, who do we think is going to break into the first time from the reserves and youth?

For me I think it'll be Januzaj, Barmby, and Perreira

Jake I would say that Januzaj, Wilson and Daehli or Pearson will be the first three U18s to break through. M Keane should get a PL loan next season and then go into the first team IMO.

Dan

Also did you're mate say anything about Tunnicliffe. I can't believe we would get rid of Lingard before Tunnicliffe. I don't think Tunnicliffe will make it tbh he just isn't good enough on the ball to be a united player. Had hoped that would improve over the last few years but it hasn't.

Dan

I haven't asked about Tunnicliffe because he isn't really a player that interests me.

I personally think he'll be sold but that's just my opinion.

He's nowhere close to the level he needs to be.

I came on here to say what looks like everyone has already said haha, Lingard surely won't be sold as he is one of our most dangerous youth players he just needs to put on some weight, surely he'll get another loan spell before a decision is made as the general talk of him on this seasons pre season is that he did well.

Going to agree with Dan in saying Tunnicliffe looked promising but his passing is what mainly let's him down which obviously would decrease any chance of him getting in the first team. I'm more interested in the future of Petrucci and Powell! Can't wait for Powell involved in more first team games.

I have seen Lingards first performance for Leicester City and he played well. He created several chances only for his teammates to mess it up.

They just do not have a team that suits him. They play very physical and do not play a high quality passing game. It is more a classic hoof game.

I am not sure if he will make it but one loan that did not work out that well won't kill his United career.

Jake, I don't know anyone in the youth set up but from what I've heard Wilson is rated the highest in the current bunch? Or at least he was last year.
I'm hoping we start producing some top level midfield talent from the academy soon like Ravel. Rashford looked very good for England U16s but I think he's an attacking mid more than a central mid.

I really like Ioannou in the youth team as well.

If Ed002 is available and has a spare 5 minutes.
Without going into money, how likely do you feel the following signings are? Lewandowski, Strootman, James Rodriguez.

Many thanks.

Paul {Ed002's Note - Unfortunately I cannot really answer questions regarding how "likely" players are to join. There is interest in all three and I have explained where I understand matters are with each.}

Thanks for the reply Ed002. One last question, do you see James McCarthy moving away from Wigan this Summer? I know Ed007 has previously declared his admiration of him as a player which I tend to agree with.
Thanks again.

Paul {Ed002's Note - I don't know - they have always asked too much when approached in the past. You will find that Ed007 likes lots of young men.}

eds do you know anything about Philipp Hosiner, transfer wise? Even if its not united related. {Ed002's Note - He looked likely to be moving to Ajax but there is nothing recent I know of.}

Well to be honest syd. said on a s sports interview that united HAVE paid a a fee to atletico madrid. BUT the payment will be to give united extra leverage when other fish start biting around falcao this summer. in all honesty we more than likely won't see him at OT next season but. wel see. buy the was wazza was a breath of fresh air playin in the center the other day i'm lookin forword to seen him play against the big guns in that position. md

Cheers ED hope he moves to a top club outside the prem, I think he could be a huge talent in years to come

Ed002, do you think some sort of swap deal with Roma for Lamela is possible this summer? They are keen on Nani and United have had interest in Lamela. Thanks.

Sydney! {Ed002's Note - No.}

Lamela looks good but i'd rather use nani as leverage on marchisio of juve and sort that problem out once and for all.

Swap deals are often touted. do they ever happen? when a team buys a player, a deal involving another player moving to the other club on loan might occur (possibly as a sweetener) but I cannot think of any swaps that have taken place between big name players in recent years. feel free to contradict me with evidence to the contrary

Whats the chances of us getting ISCO? he would fit the bill to a T {Ed002's Note - Very slim indeed.}

Hed fit the bill of most teams pal. don't get your hopes up
