Morning ed002, hope you're well. Do you know if we have approached Brentford with an offer for toney?
{Ed002's Note - Ivan Toney (S) Brentford do not want to sell but are aware Toney may look to move up a step and will reluctantly look to perhaps £70M as a sale price in the summer - but will likely not get anything close to that. It would be driven by situation which could see him run down his contract next season and leave as a Free Agent - so Brentford will seek a new contract. Newcastle no longer offer the chance of a return to the club who previously could find no use for him in the three years he was there. Arsenal, Leeds, Manchester United, Spurs, Chelsea and West Ham have all sent scouts on more than one occasion to watch him prior to his ban, but all have preferred options. Was first choice for Arsenal but that has disappeared as the price has not dropped to around £40M - but if it does they may well look again. Middle East Al-Qadsiah will be one option. Aston Villa are losing Duran and could look to him.}

Think I’d prefer Duran myself….
2.) 18 Aug 2024 15:11:21
Cheers Ed ?.
3.) 18 Aug 2024 16:07:54
I'd far prefer Rasmus Hojlund.
4.) 18 Aug 2024 20:30:03
I like a bit of Fleetwood Mac myself.
5.) 19 Aug 2024 08:07:21
A lot of money when we have Hojlund and Zirkee. A player that I thought about as a senior striker who scored at the weekend who I wouldn’t mind testing the water for would be Welbeck. United fan and been through the academy. You’d think he’d be prepared to come in as a squad player and support Hojlund and Zirkee. Got good experience and I imagine wouldn’t cost a lot and is still scoring goals in the Premier League.
6.) 19 Aug 2024 09:54:44
Welbeck would be great around the place, ports but like quite a few other ex players, he was hurt with the way he felt united treated him. I doubt he would come back.
10 Aug 2024 13:29:51
De ligt and mazroaui agreed ?.
1.) 10 Aug 2024 16:08:30
Ten Hag getting the band back together.
2.) 10 Aug 2024 18:03:41
We can play in ajax kits as long as we do well for all I care .
25 Jul 2024 18:43:07
Evening Ed, hope you are well, just wondered if the club had any interest in Morgan gibby White? Cheers ?.
{Ed002's Note - Yes the club see him as one option but there is very serious interest from Spurs. Newcastle have likely moved on.}
1.) 25 Jul 2024 19:35:11
Like him. Works hard and has an eye for a pass.
2.) 26 Jul 2024 08:10:11
I'm a fan - think he'd be a great fit.
3.) 26 Jul 2024 11:06:47
I like him, he's a great player to have in your squad, a talented swiss army knife of a player. Good going forward, technical, hard worker and can play almost anywhere. RW, LW, CAM, CM, wing back and even CF.
That said I don't see us seriously making a move for him. He cost Forest 30m two years ago and has only improved while there. He'll still have 3 years on his deal, if not more if it's been extended. I'd imagine they'd demand 50m plus for him.
While he's a great player to have in your squad, I'm not sure he's quite at that level to be first choice for a team aiming for major honours. So I'm not sure the club could justify spending the sort of money he'll cost to mostly be a backup/ bench option player.
4.) 26 Jul 2024 13:59:16
Better play than Mount. I wouldn't be against bringing back Andreas Pereira back if we were to bring in an advanced midfielder, has improved significantly at Fulham and looks to moving on this summer with Atletico interested.
5.) 27 Jul 2024 18:29:45
Only reason Pereira has stood out at Fulham is because he’s surrounded by rubbish.
22 Aug 2023 21:04:05
Hi Ed, are you aware if we have enquired after Marco varratti?
Cheers ?.
{Ed002's Note - Team Mino have been offering him around. Chelsea and Bayern Munich are concerned that €60M for a 30 year old may not be good value for money. Manchester United see a potential solution to a growing midfield issue they need to address. Else, the Middle East offers the player som financially attractive option.}
1.) 22 Aug 2023 22:39:50
I hope we stay away.
He’s 30 and we have better value for money getting graverberch and amrabat for less money.
2.) 22 Aug 2023 23:12:41
it would be another piece of stupidity if we do this.
3.) 23 Aug 2023 08:16:55
You know this deal is going to happen now.
4.) 23 Aug 2023 06:16:09
Thanks Ed ? still think he is a very good player.
Fee seems very high though ?♂️.
5.) 23 Aug 2023 10:05:42
Ed02 - would this be an alternative to Amrabat? Whilst I've always thought Veratti is a good player, it seems like a very short-sighted move again.
Are there any younger CMs we're actively looking at Ed02? I can remember Kone and Khéphren Thuram being mentioned in previous posts, but all seems to have gone quiet on both of them.
{Ed002's Note - Veratti plays as a DM, Amrabat doesn't.}
6.) 23 Aug 2023 10:30:45
Deano
Good player but backwards stuff. buying 30/ 31 year olds on probably paying massive wages is not forward planning imo.
We should be buying younger imo. Besides RVP can't remember any of these deals in the past working out well for us.
We already took the plunge on cas and would like to think we have a plan to buy a young dm who eventually takes over from him down the road.
7.) 23 Aug 2023 12:45:35
Great player. I don't think every signing needs to be one for the future. Need a blend of experience alongside them.
8.) 23 Aug 2023 13:20:05
Forget the fee. Bite and experience is exactly what we need right now. We are so mentally weak, and only a Cas/ Martinez injury or suspension away from a bad run of form.
We also have the CL to navigate which is a much bigger challenge to last season. Veratti improves our first XI, I’d welcome him with open arms.
9.) 23 Aug 2023 14:04:09
Excellent player but does tend to pick and choose what games he plays at PSG, not sure why fans on here worry about age and cost one minute then next minute moan there is no leaders in team, your not going to be a 20 year leader and walk in at united and lead!
Let’s be fair to mention Veratti and arambet in same breath is a joke plus they play different positions, if Arambet ever becomes half as good as Veratti, he needs to get on with it!
10.) 23 Aug 2023 16:46:00
Nope United need to stop buying names because available and start forward planning. Even the Cas signing 70 million and another 100 million in wages for a player who will not be worthbit across the second half of his contract. The cash tied uo in deals like this hurt us rebuilding or building if you look were we were from.
Someone needs to get a grip of this, bring in a top sporting directir with clear vision allied to Ten Hags and start making sensible decisions.
I am big fan of what Cas did last year but i still believe long term it was the wrong choice.
11.) 23 Aug 2023 19:15:42
Wazza……only a Cas injury or suspension away from a bad run of form!? I’m hoping he gets a red to be honest….
07 Jul 2023 19:36:19
Hey Ed, happy weekend! Any truth in this greenwood to atalanta story?

Oles at the wheel ????.
1.) 06 Jan 2026 14:45:39
I want this to happen just to see Ken spontaneously combust.
2.) 06 Jan 2026 15:16:00
Why I posted it ???.
3.) 06 Jan 2026 16:01:05
His record as an interim manager, is second to none ?.
4.) 06 Jan 2026 16:16:05
Have we thought of hiring None if he is better than Ole?
5.) 06 Jan 2026 16:36:38
I’d happily see OGS back as interim. Played some good football under him.
Went wrong at the end, but a lot of it was good.
6.) 06 Jan 2026 17:36:03
I despair at what may happen, 6 months of love in and never ending demands to make him permanent. If they want to make us the utter joke club, put Ole in charge.
7.) 06 Jan 2026 17:52:47
But as an interim, Red Man?
Record second to none? ?.
8.) 06 Jan 2026 18:18:20
Record 2nd to none because not many clubs hire interim managers?
9.) 06 Jan 2026 18:18:46
Grim, that made me laugh, thanks.
10.) 06 Jan 2026 19:36:01
Nou
Ole had a losing run to Villa, Leicester Liverpool 5 nil, yes 5 nil, City Watford.
People have short fuzzy memories blurred by a goal in 99.
11.) 06 Jan 2026 22:55:24
As interim. 14 wins and 2 draws in 19 games. Goal difference of over 2 to 1.
Fuzzy memories, indeed.
12.) 06 Jan 2026 23:07:18
Or by the 14 wins in 19 games as an interim manager which would be his role this time? Amorim won 15 in 47 remember.
13.) 07 Jan 2026 13:15:08
I'll be buzzing if he comes back, the only time I've felt like I was watching a united side since sir alex left.
22 Nov 2025 20:40:13
Liverpool page is pure cinema ???.
1.) 23 Nov 2025 07:52:21

I want to meet the guy who found the magic lamp and his first wish was "Make Liverpool and United's fortunes swap", and shake his hand. Bravo sir ?.
3.) 23 Nov 2025 12:27:31
It’s nicely reassuring that we’re not alone in being traumatised by our club.
Shame Citeh have no fans, their page would be a curiosity.
4.) 23 Nov 2025 14:15:41
I’m not gloating too much.
They have the makings of a good side, it’s more a case that they’ve parts that don’t fit. Last season nothing was expected and Slot found a way to work with what he had. Basically tinkered with what Klopp left him, and won the league without anyone really pressing them.
This time round he wanted to shape his side, and I don’t see what he’s aiming for. Felt like they bought players without thinking about building upon what worked last season. Wirtz is taking a lot of flack, but the midfield two isn’t a strong enough base for a playmaker like him to shine. Frimpong Is the biggest head scratcher. Trent was a key player because his passing range allowed the front players to get in behind. Frimpong is worse defensively, and looks to get onto the end of passes, rather than delivering them. The two strikers aren’t getting service, and the new lb is struggling to make the step up.
For me, this is a lesson on sticking with what worked, and not ripping everything up just to prove it’s your team now. The fact that they didn’t buy any centre backs is damning. I would be looking to shore up the spine of the team after Christmas. Bringing in a quality cb, and going back to the midfield three of last season. Put Wirtz on the left until you have players that can give him a platform to dictate from the middle.
Can’t see Slot lasting much longer though. Think this is what ed001 has been saying too. Very difficult to get players to buy into your system when it’s clearly inferior to what helped you win last year.

Nothing in this world like being a united fan ?.
1.) 18 Apr 2025 02:07:56
Incredible scenes. It is still there, deep down in our veins. Never beaten, just sometimes we run out of time. We were dead on the floor and we came back to life, what a game.
2.) 18 Apr 2025 05:14:39
Well then, there goes my plan to make fun of you lot ;) But in all honesty, it was a great game to watch.
3.) 18 Apr 2025 07:00:14
In his last three games where we have won, it’s been Maguire scoring the winning goal.
We often criticise the mental strength of these players, but the likes of Maguire and Zirkzee who have been ridiculed at times by our supporters, have shown the fortitude to fight back and deliver, something which we should applaud.
4.) 18 Apr 2025 07:14:30
100% with you on that grim. To be stripped of the captaincy and practically pushed towards the exit, and still sit and be called upon when needed, no crying or calling the club out. Harry has some mental fortitude it has to be said. And a bFk 3 suits him much more.
5.) 18 Apr 2025 08:57:59
Grim, whatever faults Maguire has as a footballer, lack of mental fortitude is not one of them.
That guy has always stood up to be counted, he has never hidden or shirked from a set back.
I for one respect that.

As we can see from the players that have come through this season, if he was good enough he would have got his chance .
