Amass of on loan to Sheffield Wednesday.
Quite a clear out of permanent and loan deals.
1.) 02 Sep 2025 20:53:06
He will hand plenty of defending to do. Good experience for him. Hope he plays regularly. i'm sure he will as they are short of good players. They were big club with lots of good players at one time. I really hope they find a way out of the mess they are in.
2.) 03 Sep 2025 08:07:31
Where we loan we need to ensure as much as possible they will be first choice and will play regularly. Apparently United are paying his salary and expenses. Wednesday are a historic club, been to Hillsbrough a number of times and it will be a good experience for Amass.
3.) 03 Sep 2025 08:33:38
Both Amass and Collyer have got good loan moves this summer. Now it is up to them.
4.) 03 Sep 2025 18:54:56
Class gesture too.
5.) 04 Sep 2025 21:23:31
Totally Key. We’re quick to jump in on Ineos about every penny pinching measure they’ve taken, but this is very cool.
6.) 09 Sep 2025 07:43:08
it baffles me we kept him and let the spanish boy go who now plays for madrid.
7.) 09 Sep 2025 22:51:22
Amass was 16 when we let 20 year old Alvaro go, the 2 aren’t linked at all.
8.) 09 Sep 2025 22:56:45
I think every single transfer decision we’ve made since Fergie left and this new team have come in has been baffling. Bruno is our only sensible transfer during this period of time.
9.) 10 Sep 2025 16:56:49
GDS2 your right ones a top player and the other won't even be a prem player, well done great decision.
10.) 12 Sep 2025 08:32:32
I posted relentlessly on here about how good Alvaro could be and the ridiculous decision to let Alvaro leave when we had no left back. ETH should have been sacked just for that . Very few supported what I said about Alvaro. I watched him play for Preston a few times and you could see the potential. ETH was an utter disgrace on this and other decisions. I am pleased RA has been putting some right but the boy Alvaro was a shocking decision.
11 Aug 2025 12:06:05
It was interesting to hear Amorims comments about the friendly with Fiorentina. He said we struggled without a reference of a striker yet left Hojlund on the bench.
He also left Obi on the bench but it could be an indication that Hojlund is off to Milan.
Maybe I'm reading too much into much into it.
1.) 11 Aug 2025 12:28:36
He does not appear to want Or rate Erasmus very highly. He sees him every day. Its hard to disagree with him. Obi is not ready and far from it. He was right to play the players he is more likely to use on Sunday if Sesko is not fit enough. I hope Sesko is ready to start on Sunday. Rasmus off to Milan by the looks of it maybe on loan with a buy option. Rasmus would be crazy to resist it imo.
2.) 11 Aug 2025 14:37:48
Clear that Amorim wants him moved on, new striker bought, best for Rasmus to go for the loan, AC Milan who would turn them down?
We now have a new young unproven striker, hopefully he has a better trajectory than Rasmus who plateaued then regressed and never looked the same.
Interesting that we now have 4 No.10 in Bruno, Mount, Cunha and Mbeumo, one true box to box in Mainoo and three DM in Cas, Ugarte and Collyer and possibly Baleba. Surely he should be able to find a decent team in there?
3.) 11 Aug 2025 15:50:40
Casemiro needs to leave.
With no Europe, he will be useless in the Orem. His legs are gone. If we can flog him to Saudi for 10 mil I’d bite their hands off.
4.) 11 Aug 2025 15:53:35
Unless they do get Baleba or someone like him I think it will be very similar to last season. We will have a more attacking threat, but with no legs in midfield it will be fairly easy for teams to play straight through the middle of the team.
Ugarte, Mainoo and Cas can’t play the role required.
Could also do with some pace at central CB.
5.) 11 Aug 2025 18:30:09
Fallguy,
A new GK along with a CB and Baleba or similar would be great.
6.) 11 Aug 2025 19:08:19
MH - most definitely would. But I wouldn’t be surprised if the spending has come to an end.
Doesn’t appear to be any high value sales coming anytime soon. Without that I doubt the club could afford much more.
7.) 11 Aug 2025 19:29:34
Fallguy, the sales just have to happen before 30th June, there is still time, don't panic.
8.) 11 Aug 2025 20:20:44
Fallguy,
I think your right.
It all lies in Garnacho leaving. Chelsea selling Madueke for £55 million and Notts Forest selling Elamga for a similar has set the benchmark for Utd.
Sancho is a greedy B@#£&÷d.
9.) 11 Aug 2025 20:42:40
Garnacho will go for 35mil and good riddance, superstar in his own head….
We have more concerning worries than him going.
10.) 11 Aug 2025 21:16:42
I don’t overly care about the money. Although it is annoying how poor United are at getting higher values for sales.
Other teams seem to sell players that have never played in the prem for close to £30m.
You just know Chelsea will sign him for £30m and then sell him a year or so later for £70m. You have to admit that Chelsea are the kings at selling players.
18 Jul 2025 17:17:05
A lot of rumours regarding a move for Benjamin Sesko today. While I belive it's just to fill column space because Mbeumo seems to be nearly done, I would love to see a move for him materialise.
1.) 19 Jul 2025 02:13:41
Looks to be a top prospect, although whether or not he’d end up being just another Hojlund remains to be seen.
2.) 20 Jul 2025 10:11:16
I can see what there is a lot of hype around Sesko, he has all the qualities that should make him one of the best strikers in the world. Tall, strong, quick, technically gifted and has a cracking shot on him.
Yet for all that potential he looks a few years away from being able to bring it all together into consistent top level performances. While his goal record on paper looks promising (13 goals in 2400 league minutes), that is in the Bundesliga where goals seem to be easier to come by, while playing for one of the top three sides in the league.
When you dig a little deeper with Sesko I think it becomes clear that he needs another 2-3 years of development before he's ready to be the first choice for one of Europe's top clubs. If he was being signed to be the back up to a top quality first choice striker then I can see the merit in that. But he shouldn't be signed to be the first choice option and have to deal with all that pressure, he just isn't ready for that. I think that might be why Arsenal ended up going for Gyökeres in the end.
We would be much better placed signing Ollie Watkins this summer, he's EPL proven, and is ready and capable of being our first choice striker and carrying that burden, maybe even flourishing with it.
Yes he's not the long term answer, but he is probably the guy we need for the next 2-3 years to help carry us while the younger players in the squad develop into top players.
Maybe Chido Obi develops into a top player under Watkins wing, or maybe Højlund does (unlikely I think at this point) . Or maybe we end up having to sign another top striker in 3 years time to replace Watkins, that might be Sesko if he's developed into that player at that time, or maybe it'll be someone else.
We need to be careful about only signing players who'll be top players in 3 years time to help us (hopefully) challenge for and win the title then. We also need players who are ready to do it right now and take the pressure off the younger players in the squad giving them the space to develop into the players they potentially can be.
Watkins might not be the sexy name that most fans want us to sign, but he might just be the right player at the right time for us.
3.) 20 Jul 2025 15:31:09
Shappy, he’s got a similar strike rate as Ekitike who Liverpool are about to sign for £70m and a similar if not better strike rate than Kolo Muani. We need a striker, there’s no doubt about that. Whoever comes in now has the added bonus of Cunha and Mbuemo who will both hopefully add goals to this team.
Hojlunds confidence is shot to bits but not all young strikers will crumble at United. Sesko looks like he has enough about him to cope.
16 Jul 2025 14:12:14
I've just read an article about Atalanta being interested in Zirkzee. I'd rather they took Hojlund back off our hands but apparently it's the big Dutchman they want.
1.) 16 Jul 2025 15:11:09
If it is Atalanta, i'd say yes, he can go for 70m.
20 Jul 2023 19:36:24
Welcome Onana.
Bruno officially announced as captain and Charlie Savage off to Reading on a permanent deal.
1.) 20 Jul 2023 20:10:58
Don't forget Hardley joining Iqbal at Utrecht.
I'm loving the approach this summer, ruthless but fair.
Imagine Ole was still in charge, the likes of Iqbal and Savage would still just be getting loans that offer no value to the club or their respective careers. There's not a chance he'd let De Gea go and he'd likely still keep Maguire as captain.
ten Hag is doing the business that the previous permanent incumbent lacked the cahoonas for.
Very good summer so far.
2.) 20 Jul 2023 20:28:01
I wouldn't say ruthless, but the young fringe players moving with buyback options and decent sell on fees is a good move, we've adopted the same approach to what a lot of european clubs do. If it works we can get a good player back, or buy them back and sell for a bigger profit. Smart move by the club.
I don't think this has anything to do with ole or ten hag, I think it's more woodward going and having people that know more about transfers running that side of things.
I like what I'm seeing so far this windown.
3.) 21 Jul 2023 02:53:38
dannyc
You could be right, but I do believe that Ole is more culpable than you think.
For example, Phil Jones.
There is no way whatsoever that Woodward (every bit a money man) would see value in a player with such an incredible injury record, certainly not enough to approve a new contract in 2019 - he can't be blamed for everything.
So, is that down to Ole, a Glazer or Fergie?
In any scenario, the buck stops with the manager for it is that one person who decides whether there's game value to a player.
Woodward was crap at the job, nobody with any sense would disagree. However, he was always the go-to scapegoat for the mismanagement that was, and for the most part, is still rife throughout the club.
Ole is a likeable fella and he's a good coach who brought a certain fluffiness to the squad, but he's a terrible and timid manager who's about as maverick as a jam sandwich.
4.) 21 Jul 2023 10:17:15
ETH is making all the footballing decisions which is great.
I don't think this has happened since the Fergie era.
5.) 21 Jul 2023 10:30:23
I think if you come from outside the bubble that is MUFC like ETH has he was probably shocked at a lot of the practices like stock piling players with no futures at the club -no clear route to the first team for youngsters, so many kids that won't ever make it being kept on or sent on pointless loans and a general lack of direction in so many aspects of the club. He has to be able to have a clear out where he sees fit . let's not forget those with no previous ties to the club like JM, LVG and Ralf saw it and said publicly it was a mess of a club . Ole not so much as working in a that out dated way was all he saw when he was at O. T. he thought it was normal.
6.) 21 Jul 2023 13:35:35
I’m not quite as positive.
We have replaced one outgoing keeper with another one - we have no back up keeper.
The defence remains the same. No improved full back option at RB, and question marks over the futures of Maguire and Lindelof.
We have strengthened attacking midfield which was not a huge priority. We have no quality in depth once Casemiro is out.
Manchester United played a whole season without a recognised striker last season - and we are embarking on a tour today, still without a striker in the squad except a lad who played for Altrincham last year.
I’ll reserve judgement until the window is closed.
7.) 21 Jul 2023 20:26:31
Eric I hear what your saying, but heard that were trying for suzuki, I'm sure we will get a backup gk or keep kovar if we don't sign one.
Ten hag said were looking at a number 9 and I'm sure we will get a decent one with outgoings, we don't seem to have enough in the kitty for a decent one as it stands. With elanga moving that's another 15 million, telles for about 5, hopefully henderson will bring another 25 and one of Fred and mctominay should add around 20 or so that our money for a striker.
I also think we will save massive amounts on wages, which puts us in a good place moving forward.
I think we will have a good window and we will all be happy at the end of the season.
8.) 21 Jul 2023 20:58:57
Eric,
Have you seen Mainoo play? Think I’d like to see a player come through the academy than a shiny new signing at DM, especially as anyone coming in would be playing 2nd fiddle to Casemiro anyway.
9.) 22 Jul 2023 13:27:22
I be seen him in meaningful games as
Much as anybody else GDS. reserve and u21 games are non-comparable. If he’s that good, I’ll be delighted as anybody.
10.) 22 Jul 2023 16:51:36
Doesn’t change the fact the club have not had a striker for over 2 years and are chasing unproven players to take the No9 shirt.

21 Sep 2025 11:18:58
Good win last night although I think if Sanchez hadn't gone so early the outcome could've been different.
My big concern at the minute is Sesko. I know he wasn't prolific in Germany but he's not showing any signs of getting a goal. Much like Hojlund last season.
Why is this system producing nothing for our strikers.
1.) 21 Sep 2025 11:52:16
Agreed 2toms. Great win considering our start this year. It gives RA some more time.
I'm not looking at this as sudden turnaround. Its clear the advantage helped us as we managed to score 2 goals. Without the advantage, Chelsea were the better team.
Let's just hope it gives the players some confidence so we can pick up some results.
2.) 21 Sep 2025 12:06:38
Harsh on Sesko. He had a great game, and shame he had to be subbed off for Casemiro’s stupidity.
Look at Firmino during his time at Liverpool -
Never the main goal threat, but the team played much better with him and scored more goals. Sesko will be that man for us.
3.) 21 Sep 2025 12:54:23
He assisted the red card.
4.) 21 Sep 2025 14:41:24
I think the approached changed after the red card. United were more direct before it. They had to break down chelsea once they went down to 10. That ball into sesko and either mbeumo and cunha taking the knock down has been a tactic we’ve tried deploying in the first few games. Had Sanchez not fouled mbeumo, i think he would’ve scored.
5.) 21 Sep 2025 15:31:26
Sesko needs more game time and better service. That's all as he is a very good player.
6.) 21 Sep 2025 15:59:55
I’ve been quietly impressed but he needs a goal.
7.) 21 Sep 2025 16:24:21
Coming to the epl is really difficult. He looks like a very good player. His touch is good, sound technically good in the air and makes good runs in and around the box. Off the ball his pressing is impressive.
He needs a run of games a slice of luck and for those around him to understand him and vice versa.
The 3 new forwards have not started a game together yet.
Sesko won't get the time and space he got in Germany and just like wirtz at Liverpool it will take time to adjust.
He was unfortunate yesterday tohave to come off he would have got chances if it had remained 11v10.
8.) 21 Sep 2025 16:39:49
Sesko had a great game? That's a pretty low bar given how few touches he had. He looks off the pace right now, he clearly needs more game time.
9.) 21 Sep 2025 17:22:09
Sesko was good given the context of the game and where he is in adapting to a new league.
His clever flick on to Mbeumo led to the Sanchez red card. Once Chelsea were down to 10 men they took two forwards off to bring in a keeper and a CB. Went to a back 5 with three defensive midfielders ahead of them. There was little to no space for the central striker at that point.
However, I'd have preferred Amorim to take of Amad rather than Sesko after Casemiro got sent off. Amad wasn't having much of an impact, while now back to parity in terms of bodies, Sesko offers the option to play it long. I actually think that it was losing that ability to do so which enabled Chelsea to push higher up and get back into the game in the second half. The way Sesko links with Mbeumo looks like it could become very important to us.
10.) 21 Sep 2025 18:04:40
How ridiculous to say he had a good game it was something like 8 touches the stats for him were atrocious no better than Rasmus, hopefully Sesko gets better, but to say he had a good game, are we now Wolves for god sake and take anything!
11.) 21 Sep 2025 19:43:48
Another upset are you the reincarnation of a certain German?
12.) 22 Sep 2025 06:13:13
I was watching Sesko off the ball, the amount of good runs he made without being spotted by his team mates was shocking.
13.) 22 Sep 2025 08:37:19
Anotherupset the main criticism of Hojlund was that if he isn't scoring goals he isn't helping the team either. Ok Sesko hasn't scored yet, but he is involved and really is a handful for the centre backs. He wins some great knock ons and it gives us a direct option that wasn't there last year. Chin up fella.
14.) 22 Sep 2025 12:45:18
Another log in more like (i suspect) not anotherupset. Sad little man.
01 Sep 2025 12:02:11
Lammens has signed.
1.) 01 Sep 2025 13:04:14
I hope he's better than the last 2 we purchased. Just watched his highlights and he seems to have a tendency to save the ball back into the penalty spot again same things in onanas highlight video that i called out prior to signing. hope i'm wrong.
2.) 01 Sep 2025 16:28:50
Depends which highlights reel you watch. I’ve seen the one you’ve mentioned. Someone has put that out to discredit United and poke fun at our recent goalkeepers.
I’ve also seen one of him that shines a light on all his good attributes. He certainly looks like a keeper who commands his box and has good anticipation coming off his line.
Time will tell….
3.) 01 Sep 2025 19:08:45
he is young and will make mistakes. just cut the guy some slack.
29 Aug 2025 10:28:40
Jose and Ole are both available. Could have them both in, good cop/ bad cop.
1.) 29 Aug 2025 12:24:01
The manager of Crystal Palace is the man to manage Man united very tactical minded changes shape on who they play . Gets best out of average players . Knows Europe well so knows players who would suit Man United style . Is very strong in the dressing room but would need time to sort the dross out that is at the club and he is very much pissed with what has happened at Palace and the transfers of their top players maybe time to get him is now .
23 Aug 2025 20:13:14
If the rumours of Lammens and Angelo Stiller are true then we've had a very good window.
Stiller looks a real talent. He's been likened to Toni Kroos. Very good reader of the game. Not the same type of player as Baleba but he would be a very good addition to our midfield.
1.) 23 Aug 2025 22:57:12
Isn't that Stiller injured and it was a pretty big injury?
2.) 24 Aug 2025 00:52:24
CTR,
Chris the red man?
Don’t think Stiller has had any major injuries that would be of any worry.
3.) 24 Aug 2025 02:04:01
I had the same thought, is Chris the Redman back in town?
4.) 24 Aug 2025 10:07:33
I can neither deny or confirm these rumours mate ?.
5.) 24 Aug 2025 11:37:18
Stiller is a good player no doubt, but he isn't a typical Amorim midfielder in any way. I don't see anything in this rumour to be honest.
6.) 24 Aug 2025 13:17:12
As long as it's not Ben Stiller.
24 Jul 2025 09:11:09
Has anyone listened to the Fulltime devils bit on Lisandro Martinez? They're waxing lyrical about him.
If you listened to them and had never seen him play you'd think we had the modern day Beckenbauer in our team.
For me this season is make or break for him unfortunately.
1.) 24 Jul 2025 11:09:27
He's one of my favourite players in the current squad, and potentially he could be very good for this United side under Amorim.
Amorim's system relies on ball playing defenders in the wide CB rolls for first phase build up.
That is something that Martinez does better than any other defenders we have.
Sure he has his weaknesses in this system, his lack of pace and 1v1 ability in the wide areas being a bigger issue than his limited ability in the air.
Yet if we can fully embrace the possession style that Amorim is looking for then his weaknesses will be limited and his strengths absolute key.
We saw against Leeds in pre-season during the second half how key playing out from the back can be when Yoro got onto the ball and starting pinging passes about. After Martinez him and Heaven are the only other central defenders who have that level of passing ability.
The rest (Maguire, MdL, and Mazraoui are tidy passers, but are not reliable expansive passers, who can cause the opposition problems when they are on the ball.
While Martinez is amongst the best ball playing CB's in the league of not all of Europe, the real thing about him that makes him a key player is his mentality. He is a leader, he demands the ball even when under pressure, he works his socks off and he throws himself him into danger for the team. His personality also seems infectious, with him often elevating those around him.
The real issue with him is his injuries, which are really starting to stack up now. He didn't really have too many before joining us so I wouldn't say he is injury prone.
The question now is have we managed him in the best way after his initial injury (which was just a freak injury) or have we rushed him back which has caused the subsequent injury issues.
Or have we managed him perfectly fine and the issue is actually his style is too abrasive for a player of his stature in a league as physically demanding as the EPL?
If it's the former then careful management should mean he can bounce back and become a key player for us. If it's the latter then unfortunately he will likely pick up more injuries on a regular basis and he sadly won't be able to become a key player for us.
I don't think he can or should change his style of play. He needs that style to be able to play in his position with his limited physicality at the level he's playing at.
2.) 24 Jul 2025 11:57:05
I think he's awesome, he just needs to stay injury free and get a solid run of games.
3.) 24 Jul 2025 14:42:25
There is some words I would not use in describing Martinez…Awesome, expansive passer, great CB…. are we talking about the same man the Glass butcher if so better words would be, Rash, dangerous tackler to himself, slow, useless in the air, targeted now by decent teams, injury plagued…
Great determination Yes is the only one word that could be considered.
For me he even behind DeLigt.
4.) 24 Jul 2025 14:53:33
Great player.
Luckily, the injury he has come back from isn't a muscle injury, so I'm sure he will be fine.
5.) 24 Jul 2025 15:19:45
German you are so bitter to the south american contingent in our squad it seems.
Martinez when fit and on form is in the top 5 in the league for me. He's just rarely fit, so I do think it's his last season unfortunately unless he stays fit all season.
6.) 24 Jul 2025 17:28:41
Dn. where you get that tosh from, I don’t think Deligt or Onana or Rasmus or Zirkee are from South America are they?
I do think Martinez is an awful CB for the EPL, too slow, too rash, accident waiting to happen and injured more than plays, and every decent team target him because he is poor.
Would never ever get in any top 4 epl team.
7.) 24 Jul 2025 23:32:24
Great determination is two words.
8.) 25 Jul 2025 00:09:31
Eds, any chance of us poaching Pau Cubarsi to slot in between Yoro and heaven?
{Ed001's Note - about the same chance as I have got of getting a date with Sydney Sweeney.}
9.) 25 Jul 2025 02:26:03
I have no idea who Sydney Sweeney is, so we're in with a shot in the dark ?.
{Ed001's Note - nor me but people keep mentioning her on the sites so I thought it would be someone you would be more likely to know!}

i'm older than people might think!
30 Sep 2025 20:42:24
What I don’t understand is why are the youth teams still playing 433 and 4231 if the hierarchy hired Amorim to play this 3421.
Seems to me the structure isn’t aligned through the club which is another balls up.
06 Aug 2025 19:26:12
Could we use any players in a potential deal? It would be a serious window if they pulled this off.
30 Jul 2025 20:46:05
Downsie, Donarumma would be an outstanding signing. Can’t see it happening but he would be a massive character to have in the team. One of the top keepers in the world.
30 Jul 2025 18:02:17
That would be ideal Wallace. If that was the case, they should still see if we could offload Garnacho to Villa and bring Watkins in.
I know transfers don’t always work like that but if the powers that be could pull that off then our frontline would be considerably better than last season .
20 Jul 2025 18:37:48
And yet you post/ respond to most on here as if yours is gospel and everyone else is a mere imbecile. Your post above makes you sound like you accept and invite all opinions but it’s the complete opposite.
Every post we read, it’s inevitable there will be a response from Mr Weed, correcting or trying to belittle others opinions.
03 Oct 2025 19:53:27
Dodgy, maybe the next manager will be competent enough to change the results on the pitch.
We have had 2 managers in ETH and Amorim, who’ve looked promising, judging by their work with their previous team, and have totally flopped for one reason or another.
I absolutely 100% want one of these to succeed but there’s no point pretending that Amorim is going to suddenly have this team competing.
He and his coaching staff are way off what’s required in the PL unfortunately.
03 Oct 2025 19:46:06
The season before that… we won the FA cup. We’ve just been knocked out the carabou at the first hurdle.
It’s not the formation or system. It’s his total inability to get this team to be competitive. I’m not talking competitive in a title race, I’m talking competitive in a match.
27 Sep 2025 22:30:19
Really good Shappy? Are you sure about that mate? Mbuemo is a good player, no doubt about that. Cunha could potentially be good for us but to say they have been really good when we languish in 14th on -4 goal difference is a bit of a stretch.
27 Sep 2025 17:24:29
We’ve signed prem proven players Shappy who now wander around the pitch with the rest looking clueless.
That’s on the manager and coaching team.

Bench Warmer, I can’t watch him pressers any more. It’s absolute drivel.
I liked him when he came in. He had a bit of charisma but he’s full of s**t now.
He’s had a full preseason and has got rid of the players deemed surplus, added players and we’re still crap.
Ineos have a very big decision to make.
