Manchester Evening News reporting Hansi Flick wants Rashford at Barcelona for £44.8 million.

Hopefully this will materialise and funds will be available to finalise Mbeumo deal.

MancMan

1.) 11 Jul 2025 12:29:48
Highly doubt it. Much more likely that this is more PR from Rashford.


2.) 11 Jul 2025 12:39:35
I’d be amazed if Barcelona signed Rashford and by the time they do will Mbeumo still be available?

My prediction Rashford, Sancho and Antony will all go out on loan right at the end of the window.


3.) 11 Jul 2025 12:42:44
?????.


4.) 11 Jul 2025 13:59:17
No way in the world are Barcelona going to spend any transfer fee on Rashford. In my opinion.

As above this will be his own PR team leaking made up stories to just get his name out there.

I’d be surprised if Barcelona had £40m.


5.) 11 Jul 2025 16:11:35
Nah all be gone way before end of August Alib. Rashford probably last. Anthony will go betis, sancho unfortunately will fet his 5m from utd to get him off juve. Rashford will go somewhere but I doubt it will be 40m, more like 25m.


6.) 11 Jul 2025 19:54:31
Barca want him on a free loan…. thatll help us. Why do all clubs come to us cap in hand like they’re broke the. Spend millions elsewhere! Joke.


7.) 11 Jul 2025 22:46:24
Given we’ve got no incomings, Rashford is still our best bet as striker. Shake hands, grow up, and let’s get playing some football.


8.) 12 Jul 2025 08:56:27
Rashford is not our best bet, attitude is all wrong. Has to go, no shaking hands until he signs for someone else.


9.) 12 Jul 2025 09:32:53
We need to move on all of Sancho, Rashford and Garnacho. All three are very talented players capable of doing very well. But there attitudes are all wrong, and I don't think they will be able to have an overall positive impact on the team this coming season if they stayed.

While they might be able to have some positive impacts on the pitch if they get their heads in the right place and we're used correctly, the negative impact they would have on the squad overall would outweigh the positives.

It's really important that we have a squad of players with the right attitudes next season, everyone has to want to be here and be dedicated to doing their best here for the club. We can't have players having a strop if they don't start (which will happen more often given we have no European football) .

Most seasons we tend to play close to 60 games, which is a potential 5400 minutes available. Next season it'll probably be around 45 games if we have good domestic cup runs. Which is 4050 available minutes.

What we don't want next season are players who are really only good enough as squad players, but who think they should be guaranteed starters. As with the reduced number of games then the reality is they will be lucky to start 10 games, and their egos will not be able to handle that. Which will almost certainly lead to them creating a bad atmosphere.

What we need next season is a really good core of 15 or 16 players who are good enough to be first choice, and they will start the majority of games. The rest of the squad has to be hard working and humble players who are able to accept coming on for 20 minutes and starting 10 games or so across the season without kicking up a fuss, sulking or creating a bad atmosphere.

That isn't players like Sancho, Rashford or Garnacho.

It's likely to be older players who know they need to manage their minutes, or younger players who know they are learning and developing and more willing to accept being in and out of the line up.

There is no place for egos and bad attitudes this season.


10.) 12 Jul 2025 12:25:34
Fall guy, didn’t they bid £60 million for Diaz?


11.) 12 Jul 2025 16:03:03
Williams was 1st choice, Diaz 2nd, Rashford 3rd.


12.) 12 Jul 2025 16:36:37
What's wrong with his attitude red man?


13.) 12 Jul 2025 17:00:47
angel

Have you not been watching the games?


14.) 12 Jul 2025 19:26:37
Did he not go to Belfast and miss training.
Wasn't he left out of the team twice for discipline issues?
He was not trying his hardest in matches for a long period.
Rashford has discipline issues well documented and undeniable.


15.) 13 Jul 2025 14:49:04
Yes Rashford needs selling but to suggest 25m is laughable!


16.) 13 Jul 2025 14:54:39
Yes I agree Rashford, Sancho, Garnacho all need moving on, but to say two of those are responsible for making us a laughing stock is beyond belief, does A 45 million pound striker GK who can’t catch a cold, a 75 million pound striker who can’t hit a barn door along with another 45 mil striker who is just as bad, a supposedly Butcher who is made of glass, De ligt who carries a fridge and misses as many games, Ugarte who can’t pass a ball 10 yards, take some of the blame for us being a laughing stock!

Team Talk reporting Utd are about to bid E40 million for Atalanta GK Marco Carnesecchi.

MancMan

1.) 02 Jul 2025 17:42:24
Ah, and Italian goalkeeper, what could possibly go wrong.


2.) 02 Jul 2025 18:01:58
Amad/ Hojlund
Hit/ miss signing from Atalanta! It's hard to be optimistic so if we do sign hopefully a hit

I would of preferred to take that young lad that's of to Newcastle.

{Ed077's Note - Trafford you mean?


3.) 02 Jul 2025 18:37:48
Def agree about Trafford.


4.) 02 Jul 2025 23:04:31
Yes 077 that's the one good stats but he's a Toon lad now.

{Ed077's Note - another overhyped English Goalie.


5.) 03 Jul 2025 07:37:59
AJH, that Italian GK who plays for PSG is alright.


6.) 03 Jul 2025 08:30:59
Negativity pouring from every post. Hatred will do that to you.


7.) 03 Jul 2025 09:25:17
Ed077,

Which GKs would be your pick?

{Ed077's Note - Maignan, from the ones linked with a transfer.


8.) 03 Jul 2025 10:38:12
If that's aimed at me kenneth, then you don't understand the difference between hatred and humour. Take that bee out of your bonnet ?.


9.) 03 Jul 2025 15:25:55
I think it was just a personal statement, AJH.

Looking like Carragher will do that to the mind of a boy.


10.) 03 Jul 2025 15:24:55
Ed077,

He would be a fantastic signing. However I don't think he is a realistic signing, given our lack of European football. He would give Utd at least 4-5 years of top football.

{Ed077's Note - you don't know that until to try it.


11.) 03 Jul 2025 17:39:48
Ed077,

True. Looks like AC Milan are will to negotiate on his price. i'm surprised Chelsea didn't pay abit extra for him. He is far better than any of the keepers they have now.

{Ed077's Note - he's too old for them ?


 

 

02 Feb 2025 12:06:03
Dorgu deal complete. £30 million seems reasonable.

What strikes me most is he has scored 5 times in 57 games for a team that is 15th in serie A and have only scored 18 goals this season.

MancMan

1.) 02 Feb 2025 19:37:53
Remember when we got another leftback in Telles… Porto’s top scorer at the time. What a shower of dross he was. Let’s hope the kid can settle quickly and add some balance to our shape.


2.) 02 Feb 2025 20:02:07
Telles might actually be decent in Amorim’s for action ?.


 

 

14 Oct 2024 16:34:28
Hello Ed002, do you know how how much it would cost Utd to buy back Angel Gomes?

I think a midfield of Ugarte, Gomes and Mainoo would be well balanced and could grow nicely together.

MancMan

{Ed002's Note - Nothing, he is a Free Agent in the summer.}


1.) 14 Oct 2024 19:07:09
Nowhere near good enough.


2.) 14 Oct 2024 20:50:58
Thanks Ed002.

Utd need a passer in midfield. A metronome who keeps the ball and starts the play.

Utd have limited funds

Gomes is young and free. He might not be top tier but he's good enough to play for England and he is only going to get better.

{Ed002's Note - Angel Gomes (CM) Newcastle will push Lille for a January deal before he can leave as a Free Agent in the summer. Spurs and Manchester United may also show an interest.}

I've read with interest everyone's comments on Anorim.

Here's my two cents worth.

I agree some of the optics of his touchline behaviour are not good.

I also think he should be less candid with the media.

However:

The team is starting to play better.

I think it's impossible to judge any coach until Utd have a proper goal keeper and some decent midfielders.

I think it was weird that the club bought two number 10s and centre forward rather than strengthening the midfield.

Utd are now over stocked in the No 10 position so Anorim has the problem of what to do with Bruno and Mount.

With a better midfield the existing forwards would probably have started scoring more. Utd would have certainly conceded less and would have won more games.

This was always going to be a long term project. Anorim has been in post for just 9 months!

Man Utd manager is probably the biggest job in world football.

I think Utd fans should be patient and give Anorim the time and space to grow into the job.

I'm happy with progress so far. Things are moving in the right direction.

I agree with Shappy that the football is much more entertaining and I watch/ follow football for entertainment.

I think a lot of posters on this site need to grow up and stop being like impatient children.

And finally, what's the alternative? Sack the manager and start again with another new guy?

Just relax and the ride.

MancMan

1.) 31 Aug 2025 16:02:45
Mancman- I agree Amorim should be given a little more time but I disagree with nearly ever argument you made ?

- Performances may look better at times - when? We finshed 15th, lost the Europa and won one out four games this season so results and underlying data (points per game, goals scored, xG conceded) don’t show real progress yet. We’ve had flashes of it nothing close to real identity or fluidity.
- Every manager inherits flaws; Ten Hag had worse midfield options and still finished 3rd with a trophy in year one.
- Recruitment has been uneven but Amorim still has responsibility to get more out of Mainoo, Casemiro, Eriksen (last year), Collyer, Ugarte, Bruno etc either through tactics, coaching and motivation, ideally all three.
- Top coaches find ways to fit quality players; Bruno and Mount both being underused points to tactical issues, not just squad balance. There’s simply more options with 433/ 4231 for this group.
- United already create chances, but forwards underperform xG finishing patterns and coaching matter as much as midfield quality.
- At Sporting, Amorim’s style was clear quickly; at United, there’s still no obvious identity after 9 months.
- The job is massive, but other elite managers have shown visible improvements within a season under similar pressure. Vincent Kompany for one.
- Entertainment. Nothing is entertaining about the team right now. We’re poor.
- Criticism isn’t the same as demanding a sacking; fans can fairly expect signs of improvement after 9 months and 2x transfer windows while still recognising it’s a long project.

The truth is Amorim gets every chance to succeed as Wilcox amd Barreda have their own reputation at risk, ultimately Dan Ashworth went and Amorim came in.

Howe, Southgate, Xavi, Hoeneß, de Zerbi, McKenna, Mouriniho, Hurzler all viable options that look better placed to succeed.


2.) 31 Aug 2025 16:11:55
Amorim will be fine, hopefully we will have a few weeks of speculation surrounding others teams in the city considering the terrible start they have made.

Looking forward to the derby, I think our forward three will be as well.


3.) 31 Aug 2025 16:22:54
Which "top quality" coach finds way to fit existing players? Or do they buy players to fit their methods? Remind me if Pep fir players or bought a truck load to suit his style. Klopp? Its such a lame argument to have a go at the manager.


4.) 31 Aug 2025 19:46:06
I’d say top quality coaches improve players.
Klopp and Guardiola integrated a number of existing players into a new system. Some key positions eg Goal Keeper at City they changed up consistently.


5.) 31 Aug 2025 19:54:56
Well said MancMan.
In summary Amorim is heading in the right direction and our squad is starting to take shape, albeit still a tad short in certain areas, but we all knew this was not a quick one window turnaround (cue those who will say he had January - the famous window where minimal serious business gets achieved) (I actually think if we are not fairing too badly this Xmas, we will strengthen again in Jan) . Let's start to seriously judge the process and progress thereof after there has been 4 windows. Then scrutinise the players/ manager/ owners etc. until then I'm going to enjoy the football, because fundamentally we are the the most entertaining we have been since peak Fergie time.


6.) 31 Aug 2025 20:50:31
Mancman

That's a weird argument to say until he has a top goalie and another top midfielder, don't judge him. Which coach and which team bar a very few have top players in every position. Part of being a good coach is getting the best out of what you got.

I think he will need to get results this year on a consistent basis or will get sacked. I can't believe for one second they will be okay with him finishing 8th.

We beat a newly promoted team yesterday and i am not sure how good they are as they might turn out to be a team everybody beats or much better than newly promoted teams have been in the last few years. we have a few proper games coming up now and that will show us a bit more.


 

 

28 Aug 2025 14:12:12
I feel that its pointless talking about Utd until they have a decent keeper and at least two top quality, midfielders.

Redc devil fan talks well about the problems of an inferior GK

Utd haven't had a good quality midfielder since Carrick. Games are won andmlostnin midfield. Its inevitable Utd will struggle.

I understood the need dor more goals in the bream but the £200 million spent on new attackers would have been better spent on midfielders.

The existing attackers and playmakers would have benefited mmensely and probably would have started scoring more.

MancMan

1.) 28 Aug 2025 14:55:05
I agree I think we should of gone for a keeper Guehi and Wharton from Palace and Baleba. We have zero pace in this team and we hardly ever dictate the play

We have 2 players in that squad who are absolutely brain dead Dalot and Ugarte both woeful.


2.) 28 Aug 2025 15:45:19
For all we know, the club might have been trying to get them players but had to hold back because of our financial issues.


3.) 28 Aug 2025 16:01:27
Ugarte and Casemiro had high reputations when they arrived at united. Fernandes would probably get into most teams in the league, mainoo looked like a worldie when he came into the team. Not to mention McTominay won player of the year last season I think?

Maybe its not the personnel but instead how they are being deployed? Don't get me wrong I don't think it all falls at amorims feet but these players didn't turn bad overnight, most of them will move on and have good careers i would guess.


4.) 28 Aug 2025 17:59:28
More importantly both were being replaced by the club they were at.
Casemiro for younger players and Ugarte for an upgrade.

I remember ED2 saying United should have been looking for the next Casemiro.

And we had been linked a lot to Neves who has proved to be excellent at PSG in the very role we despearately need.

I thibkbits unfair to blame Amorim for Cas' legs going or for Ugarte who he sold at Sporting to upgrade to Hjulmand considering he bought neither, both were poor under ETH and their last clubs wanted them replaced. Perhaps that last factor was the one we should have considered the most.


 

 

22 Jul 2025 12:18:18
I'd like to have a little chat about Matthew de Ligt.

Some posters on this site really don't rate him, whereas I think he is a really good player.

I like his attitude both on and off the pitch. Apparently he took a pay cut to join Utd which to me says a lot about his commitment to the club.
When he plays he always seems to put in maximum effort.
He's comfortable on the ball and his passing is decent.
He's got good leadership and organises the players around him.
The thing people criticise most is his pace and although he's not the fastest, I think he compensates with his positioning.
I really like him in that central centre back position. Especially if he.

MancMan

1.) 22 Jul 2025 12:44:50
Quickens up?


2.) 22 Jul 2025 12:46:34
Especially if he is playing alongside Yoro and Heaven who will need guidance.


3.) 22 Jul 2025 12:53:16
Agree MancMan, I think most people do, there is only Herr Maze that constantly lays into him. He is a long way clear of Maguire in the CCB position.


4.) 22 Jul 2025 13:39:10
Agreed gds. A fine CB.


5.) 22 Jul 2025 13:43:08
For me, the main worry is his fitness. He was possible our best cb last season, but that’s not saying much considering how poor we were. The issue is that he’s learning how to lead a back 3, and needs to be available to do this job properly. He should be the defensive leader, but won’t be if he isn’t capable of staying fit.


6.) 22 Jul 2025 14:03:14
I also think he's better than many seem to rate him. Certainly not our biggest liability. With fast LCB and RCBs and a competent goalkeeper behind him who commands his area, and gets off his line more quickly and decisively, he may have a bright future.


7.) 22 Jul 2025 14:07:24
Herr Maze ???.


8.) 22 Jul 2025 15:03:01
By far the least of our worries. As others have said, Yoro De Ligt and Heaven could form a solid foundation if they get a run of games together.


9.) 22 Jul 2025 15:18:21
I think the young lad Heaven looks a proper talent.


10.) 22 Jul 2025 15:52:58
Lucky for me RA does not share your opinion, hence why he is looking far and wide for a CB, someone with Pace and a leader, he took a pay cut to join us, because no other options available to him.
I don’t think he is terrible, but I don’t think he is great or what United need
He lacks pace, he is not a leader and I also think he a bit rash, not as bad as Martinez rash, but still far too much for the epl, when players go down in the wind. Plus he not great with injuries, yes he gives all he got, but that’s only the required, he is the Dutch equivalent of a McGuire, both slow McGuire better in the air and better organiser, Deligt better passer, but neither are what United need.
We got to get some pace in this team right through the spine and some quality, it’s all too slow and I’m concerned that will continue this season if we don’t change the spine of this team.

{Ed001's Note - you know he could have stayed put and kept the same wage right?}


11.) 22 Jul 2025 15:55:18
My starting would be yoro Martinez and de ligt with Martinez being the ccb due to his passing ability and ability to bring the ball out.

Heaven is very good but de ligt starting for me due to experience and knowledge.


12.) 22 Jul 2025 16:13:52
In addition to what Ed001 said, he’s Ajax’s youngest ever captain, and has obviously been a leader.

But I have to say that I love the idea of Amorim searching far and wide for a defender, like it’s some kung fu film and he’s in a Tibetan monastery looking to see if a long can organise a back 3.


13.) 22 Jul 2025 16:16:51
Has german ever been positive or optimistic about anything? :)


14.) 22 Jul 2025 16:47:03
The build up play was/ is very sluggish and pace is certainly needed esp in midfield but a new CB would be good. However if we're playing this system we need at least 6 players good enough to start and for me he's the least of our worries. He's a born leader and in quite a non-vocal team he can regularly be seen shouting orders. I do prefer him over Maguire and Martinez. Not many players have every required attribute but he's got enough to be good asset IMO.


15.) 22 Jul 2025 16:52:16
Good question AM2. I think we know the answer, though.


16.) 22 Jul 2025 18:06:42
Top defender. Gets exposed because our midfield leaves massive holes. He is not the problem. End of story IMO.


17.) 22 Jul 2025 18:15:47
So just 'Herr Maze' who doesn't rate de-Ligt.

I'm hoping he has an injury free season and really establishes himself.


18.) 22 Jul 2025 18:20:49
I like the cut of his jib, seems to have a good attitude and if he can stay i njury free, I think he will be a regular.


19.) 22 Jul 2025 18:23:59
Yes he could have stayed on same wages and not played!
Not sure being in Ajax team many moons ago, before the injuries and being around good players tactically makes a scrap of difference, along with other slow paced defenders and midfield makes him look much worse
He just is not what we need, besides he gets too many injuries, would I have him in front of Martinez and McGuire, yes absolutely but only because he is best of very bad bunch
If we going to play Heaven and Yoro, we certainly need a experienced leader with pace.

{Ed001's Note - so he did have an option then.}


20.) 22 Jul 2025 18:24:20
Is McGuire the Scottish Maguire Supp?


21.) 22 Jul 2025 21:39:47
Deligt is not quick but every bit a leader from what I've seen of him.


22.) 22 Jul 2025 21:54:11
De Ligt is good option for us, he’s an upgrade on Maguire but has his faults. Personally I’d be moving him on after the season after next when Heaven and Yoro are more seasoned. In short he serves a purpose and as said above the least of our issues rn.


23.) 23 Jul 2025 22:43:51
I think he will do for a couple of years, Yoro and Heaven need to develop, Maguire i would expect be in his last year with us i don't aee us moving De Ligt soon

I reckon we move for Inacio in next year, Shaw in last year, Lisandro 2 years left, if we can move him on if he can stay injury free i think we will next year.

So, Gyorkeres off to Arsenal for £70 million.

MancMan

1.) 07 Jul 2025 23:35:51
Good. He deserves to play in a side befitting of his talents.
I've said so many times, we are not vying for elite level competitions this year. We are trying to break into the top half of the table.
That needs to sink in with a lot of fans. It is why Delap was their first choice for striker. Was there a second choice? The striker market is pretty dry for the criteria that meets our requirements. The likes of Osimehen, Gyorekes, Isak etc are not in our league, currently.
I think Mbeumo gets done, after that, a sprinkling of unknown younger players will probably be the focus, until we clear out the deadwood. If we cannot clear out sufficient deadwood, I doubt there are more signings on offer, and why should there be. With some of the younger generation coming through and some of the deadwood leaving, it will lift the quality of the squad. Will it be enough to break into the top half, I think it probably will be.


2.) 08 Jul 2025 02:13:00
A little disappointed, but given where we are, I can’t say I’m too surprised. Will he be another Haaland or another Nunez? I’d be a bit concerned about the prospect of the latter if I were an Arsenal fan, but my gut says that he will do well there. Expect him to get 30+ goals in all competitions.


3.) 08 Jul 2025 04:45:19
No chance he gets 30 plus in first season Redseven…….

Dimbo, exactly what youngsters have we got coming through that go straight in starting 11 and exactly and more importantly which one of them is showing he can score regularly in the EPL…. chino is only one with any promise of being a goalscorers and we needed goals drastically last season but RA still stuck with Rasmus which suggest Chido being nowhere near ready.

We seriously need additions another 5 or 6 for sure.


4.) 08 Jul 2025 08:47:13
It's ok, we've been planning this for months.


5.) 08 Jul 2025 08:50:07
Helmet, I do wish you could read and process.
I agree, we need goals. Cunha and Mbeumo will add goals.
I have said previously, as you will know because you comment on everything I write, that by adding Cunha and Mbeumo, and retaining Zirkzee to feed them, we add the shortfall of goals we lacked last year and that you speak of so regularly without offering any of productive solutions.
Obi will kick on. Why not give Biancheri a chance in pre season.
We still have Rasmus and he doesn't want to leave it seems, maybe he still does.
Again, to my point. we are not looking for ELITE level signings because. and let this part sink into you. we are not an ELITE level club anymore. Do you fathom that fact?


6.) 08 Jul 2025 14:03:50
LOL Dimbo, I’m still laughing that you think Zirkee plays in the middle of Cunha and a player who we not signed yet and you think that’s enough goals in the team, and we’re still left with a dysfunctional keeper and CBs, slow ponderous midfield and zero back up if the 1 forward and your not signed forward get suspended or injured.
I seem to remember you making comment of THIS IS UNITED…and getting shot down in flames by all and sundry including the Ed’s

I comment on your post because they are so biased and childish that’s why, your happy to go into season with Zirkee playing as some sort of 9, what he get last season? LOL…laughable.


7.) 08 Jul 2025 15:16:23
Biased and childish.
Your posts, all of them, are repetitive and without substance.
You pour negativity on all the players, yet offer no suggestions to improve them.
When others step forward and make suggestions, you pour your negativity onto their posts.
You will probably say I am being negative by saying we are not elite anymore, but it is called being realistic.
My post about this is united, refers to fact we still do have a pull.
There is a difference between having the united appeal and the level we are currently at. But your negativity will not allow you to see that.
Let me spell it out for you.
There will be a pool of players who would jump at the chance to play for UTD, and within that pool, these players will be at a variety of levels, from bang average to elite. We are at the lower end of that scale as a club, and it will take baby steps to get back to elite level.
Let me know if you misunderstand anything, I'm sure you'll respond. Helmet.


8.) 08 Jul 2025 16:47:05
Jimbo, you have Helmets number spot on. The negativity just sucks the joy away and the repetitive nature makes it so easy to predict his responses.


9.) 08 Jul 2025 18:17:48
Oh sorry Fizz, I did not know there was so much joy to be had being United supporters at this time or going by post on here, but then again your post not exactly joyous moaning about everything…

But than again do I care what opinions you and Dimbo have…not really, so you go and enjoy.

Surely you should be busy putting towels out on the sun loungers at 7am this time of year?

Come on mate, this rebuild is, and will continue to be, a slow and frustrating plod.

Nobody's said that a triumvirate of Cunha, Mbeumo and Hojlund/ Zirkzee will necessarily get us the goal return required to compete for European places, but the two new 10s offer their own levels of output that will improve the return while also making the team a more dynamic attacking threat - thus providing a realistic chance of furthering the increase of goal returns for the whole team.

I don't think Hojlund or Zirkzee will become Haaland or Ruud next season, but they will certainly have a couple of better attacking threats to work with - that's surely at least a small step in the right direction.
We might yet get a new No9, but we're not realistically worthy of sitting at the top table so options like Mateta and Watkins might be best for us atm.
With or without our realistic options for a new No9, it's not going to be perfect, just better.

Just chill mate, this fix will be frustrating enough without getting wound up by things that are wholly beyond the control of all of us.

Helmet, you have actually responded to DLIBs post above and for once offered some substance to your statements. You have put your balls on the block so to speak. And it doesn't matter if you are wrong and wonderful if your prediction comes true. The beauty of this site has always been it is very much a opinion based forum, quite often little facts.
I'll respond to that post separately as there are some synergies with our opinions.

Dimbo, you talk some tripe, I have said all along I would go for Mateta it’s as good as we will get at this stage…
I said all along we seriously need a commanding experienced CB with pace
I said all along we need a mobile Midfielder
I said all along I would go for season long loan of TerStegan from Barca, because no one buying clown, and TerStegan will dislodge the clown in matter of weeks
I Said Rasmus, Zirkee, Ugarte, Onana, Martinez, Deligt are just not what’s required, I don’t know how much more specific one can be.

But I forgot you think Zirkee is the answer and Ugarte and Martinez along with Deligt are great the same trash that got us 15th last season…. delusion, my saving grace is RA is of same beliefs and laughs at yours!

{Ed025's Note - GSC i dont know who you think you are with this...i said all along crap and the name calling, this forum is all about opinions and respecting other posters views mate not as a platform for egotists, you seem to have a problem with Jimbo so i suggest you skip past his posts and not get into childish spats which to be honest is really cringeworthy...and Jimbo should know better the time he has been here as well, it will not be tolerated any longer...cheers..

No problem on my part Ed25 I will just skip those post and only post my honest opinions, so apologies to you if I have offended you, that was not my intention.

{Ed025's Note - not offended me personally GSC but we dont want name calling and showing disrespect to other posters mate, otherwise it gets personal and we want good honest debate so all can enjoy the forum..

He started it ed, I finished it ?
In fairness, it is water off a ducks back.
I have tried to steer the discussion into a discussion on many occasions, but as you pointed out, whatever I write, there is instant ramblings towards me and most of the time I just let it go tbh.
Silence is the answer, but that kills the site at the same time, sometimes you have to put people in their place, with words.
I'll stay within the boundaries though ?.

{Ed025's Note - you and GSC need to Jimbo, we will not tolerate name calling and abuse towards other posters mate, im a bit surprised that you got involved to be honest the time you have been on here,but lets draw a line under it now so nobody needs to be suspended or banned..

I'm reading Gyökeres prefers Arsenal but Arteta wants Sesko.

Not sure about that Fallguy.

As long as he runs around a bit he'll be fine.

Utd need more than one quality midfielder.

Why not go for Ederson or Wharton this year and back in for Baleba next year?

Utd should buy Omari Hutchinson from Ipswich instead of Mbeumo.

Williams was 1st choice, Diaz 2nd, Rashford 3rd.

Utd need three quality midfielders to replace Casamiro, ugarte and Mainoo.

Any of Wharton, Anderson, Baleba, Ederson.

Lammens looked really composed and assured. Pretty great for a 22 year old making his debut for the world's biggest football club.

Yoro 19, Heaven 19, De Ligt 26. These 4 could be a settled back unit for many years to come.

I do think in time Yoro might move to the centre of the three and de Ligt to the right.

Also good to see Utd now have a striker who can score. Two in two games.

I hope they don't sack Ange next week, he could end up at OT if Anorim goes after the next few games!

Bruno has a contract and said he doesn't want to leave.

That's that.
