What about Jonathan David from Lille. Anyone heard any potential interest from Utd bearing in mind he is out of contract in the summer so should be relatively cheap this transfer wundow.
1.) 30 Jan 2025 12:43:55
They were debating him on MOTD last night. Supposedly not ready for a top side was the consensus, which we're not, but he will be available free come the end of the season and therefore maybe on the cheap for a few days so maybe a good option for someone.
2.) 30 Jan 2025 14:47:38
He is another one of those players that seems to get a lot of mention in the transfer window and we get linked to as a slightly cheaper option who scores a good amount of goals. For some reason nothing from any team ever comes close to him leaving which suggests he is either happy where he is or teams do not think he will make the step up.
Not sure what the truth is but with our current forward line I would be willing to take a punt on him.
3.) 30 Jan 2025 15:33:28
Can he put the ball in the onion bag?
4.) 30 Jan 2025 15:36:34
The latest Media Mumbles about us involve Mathys Tel, 19yo, Bayern Munich forward who wants away for more game time. His stats this season are a virtual flatline.
I know bringing on our Academy/ u21's has been done to death over the past week or so but has anyone seen the highlights of the u21's v Oldham last night? 5-0, all in the second half and quite easily could have been 8.
Obi was everywhere, same for Kone - the whole team running their tripes out for each other the whole 90.
I hope RA gives one or two of them the last ten minutes towards the end of the season.
Whatever, but on last nights showing, the future looks bright.
5.) 30 Jan 2025 17:07:38
I think a few of us hoped that Ten Hag would look to the academy, but it never happened. Hopefully Amorim will take a different approach.
6.) 30 Jan 2025 20:12:15
Grim
Collyer, Mainoo, Garnacho all came from there and were promoted by ETH. I mean that's pretty decent going if you ask me. I think it's a case of players in the academy not being ready. Amorim has been here for months and hasn't promoted one yet.
7.) 30 Jan 2025 22:27:14
Tel off to Spurs apparently NTTL.
8.) 31 Jan 2025 09:30:02
I think we need an experienced striker loan if possible. Getting another youngster in on loan, when we have plenty already seems pointless.
9.) 31 Jan 2025 11:43:54
I wouldn't be against signing Jonathan David, I think he's a good player who could potentially fit into a couple of positions in Amorim's system.
However, I'd only want him signed if he was a genuine target based on his skill set and with a specific role in the team in mind. I don't want us to sign square pegs for round holes just because they are cheap or available.
10.) 31 Jan 2025 12:37:40

Rumours of Rashford to Barcelona as part of a poss exchange deal. Might just be lazy journalism but I can see him thriving in tbe Spanish league with a team like Barca.
1.) 18 Dec 2024 21:43:55
They don't have the finances to register him.
Would Olmo though, perfect for the 10 and Barcelona seem unable to register him.
2.) 18 Dec 2024 22:27:03
Having a player on extortionate wages very nearly bankrupted them a few years ago lol.
3.) 19 Dec 2024 15:24:01
Didn't they sell off a lot of future incomes for cash up front last year? I can't see the problems easing for them at all.
4.) 20 Dec 2024 05:53:21
Barca do a lot financial engineering just to keep going. Their finances are a mess and their wage bill is huge. They need to get some players off their books. Its crazy given the talent that they produce from their academy which is the best in football but still manage to get themselves into this kind of trouble.
5.) 20 Dec 2024 15:59:25
When a club are having to use the wage space of injured players just to register their summer signing for another 6 months, you cannot see them going for a high wage player like Rashfodd.
But it's Barcelona and they like kicking the financial can down road, so who knows.
6.) 21 Dec 2024 08:10:42
Well Barcelona have a few players we’d do well to look at if true. Let’s see.
As for Rashford, I think his ate was finally sealed after he came on against Arsenal. The “performance” he put in was the worst I’ve seen anybody in a Utd shirt.
02 Mar 2022 23:34:16
Ancelotti is being touted as a possible Utd manager. What are peoples thoughts about him?
1.) 02 Mar 2022 23:39:31
He’s great.
2.) 03 Mar 2022 05:16:06
Good manager but seems unrealistic. That he’d leave Madrid. Feel like it’s just links to make it seem like we looked other than Poch.
3.) 03 Mar 2022 08:35:54
im still in shock he went everton, they had a top manager and didn't use him.
he could have with some investment and time made them a decent team.
4.) 03 Mar 2022 08:58:58
No thanks, for the job we need done he'd be completely the wrong man.
5.) 03 Mar 2022 10:16:31
Good manager, but I would put him in the same category as Zidane. Someone who is tactically flexible and is good at getting the best out of a team of talented ego's who may have lost a little drive or direction.
Not the kind of manager to perform a rebuild, develop young players, create a distinct style of play etc.
6.) 03 Mar 2022 13:08:42
agree shappy, he's a decent manager but he's a manager of 10-15 years ago
hopefully he's not one of the choices.
7.) 03 Mar 2022 16:53:30
He wasn't on the list of managers that ED002 provided us with.
8.) 04 Mar 2022 23:57:57
Shappy, Good manager, but I would put him in the same category as Zidane. Someone who is tactically flexible and is good at getting the best out of a team of talented ego's. Isn't that exactly what you need?
02 Dec 2021 22:36:29
So Carrick departs. suggests either he has a potential job offer or that the new manager wants a clean sweep.
1.) 03 Dec 2021 02:11:10
I think it’s possible he just wanted a break. He got a ton of stick for the last few months under Ole and probably didn’t see the fans accepting him. Or maybe he was in line for assistant after Phelan and now there’s no chance of that.
2.) 03 Dec 2021 06:41:33
We should applaud Carrick, he is not waiting around to be paid off, had the courage to go before pushed. Well done Michael. If only Phelan, McKenna and co had the same conviction.
I watched Carrick and the player was quality, his way of leaving quality.
3.) 03 Dec 2021 07:39:57
Agree Red Man. Did a great job at keeping us on track once Ole was sacked, and leaves with his had held high. Fine midfielder for us too in his day and think he will be in demand when he decides to return to the dugout for a decent championship club.
4.) 03 Dec 2021 08:27:42
15 years service to the club. He will be as disappointed as any of us with the last few years but stuck around to help the club in the last 3 games. Great player and classy guy.
5.) 03 Dec 2021 08:57:22
Agree Redman. Plus not wanting a long emotional goodbye shows the class of the guy.
6.) 03 Dec 2021 09:33:13
Class act in every respect and very underrated as a player by many. How we could do with him in the team today. Seems he genuinely just wanted a break and after 15 years service nobody can begrudge him.
7.) 03 Dec 2021 09:39:30
The guy deserves a flag or maybe even a statute ?
On a serious note I think it just makes sense that he walks away while his stock is at it's highest. As a caretaker he won in Spain against Villarreal, drew at Stamford bridge against top to the table Chelsea, and beat Arsenal at home.
I mean 10 days ago we'd have snatched their hand off if we were offered those results given how we had played so far this season.
Results wise I don't think he could have done any better.
Maybe a few other sides might look at that and think he's worth a gamble.
Whereas if he stayed until the end of the season and then Rangnick and the club decided he wasn't good enough and he was sacked, it'd make getting his next job much harder.
Or maybe he feels his friend and former boss was unfairly sacked and is simply walking away on principal.
Who knows, but he was a fantastic player for us, and he has no doubt tried his best as a coach. It's hard to tell how good he is as the whole set up just wasn't working. Maybe he's a better coach than many give him credit for, or maybe he isn't good enough for the highest level.
I do wish him the best of luck in his future endeavours and he will always be welcomed back at Old Trafford.
8.) 03 Dec 2021 10:13:27
How embarrassing it was to read so many continually slagging him off as a player. You know who you are. Good luck Michael. Thank you.
9.) 03 Dec 2021 10:48:42
i doubt he's got any jobs in line.
dont forget him and the others that were with ole are just as to blame for the poor season so far. why mkenna is still there and phelan i do not know.
10.) 03 Dec 2021 11:02:42
Bolger,
We literally have no idea what jobs the staff were doing or whether Ole was listening to them or delegating or just making all the big decisions himself. McKenna is highly rated and working with the right manager will hopefully so well at the club. I’m not sure phelan will last too much longer.
Carrick has done a good job in the last couple of weeks, it can’t have been easy and he’s managed to steady what was very much a sinking ship at Watford, so fair play. It gives Ralf something to work with straight away and a bit of confidence going into Sunday. He will then have a week on the training ground with the players, hopefully he plays kids against Young Boys and sees if any of them are ready, Fernandez, Amad, Hannibal, Mengi, Elanga perhaps, just to take a look at them and give the first team a week of coaching in his new system before the mad Christmas run.
11.) 03 Dec 2021 12:11:08
i have respect for Carrick for his handling of the last couple of weeks and his playing career especially.
Am just a little disappointed he didn't decide to learn from Rangnick for 6 months and then take his break.
It would have been completely different philosophy and training ideas compared to Jose and Ole and he could have benefited from that immensely.
On the other hand I can understand why he feels it is the right time to leave.
Probably a huge learning curve involved and thus even less time for his family and probably would still have had to endure the stick from the fans.
All the best, let's hope he does evolve into a more expansive style of play before he comes back to the club as manager.
12.) 03 Dec 2021 13:12:01
Jonny, I think that's a really great point. Many of the world's top managers have learned a lot from Rangnick. Carrick may have just passed up the learning opportunity of a life time.
13.) 03 Dec 2021 19:13:19
Classy player and even more of a classy man. He leaves with his held high to spend some quality time with his family. i wish him the best in whatever the future holds for him.
14.) 04 Dec 2021 09:32:18
Ralf wanted to keep him but sometimes you just need a break from the intensity of it all I guess. Who knows after a 6 month sabbatical the new manager may want to bring him back on board.
Personally I think if he does want to pursue a career in coaching it would do him no harm to search for a role abroad in Spain, Germany or Italy and learn away from the spotlight.
15.) 07 Dec 2021 05:36:51
Every post about MC is spot on but to be honest I think he also feels responsible for the slump and decided a clean break and fresh start for everyone was best.
22 Nov 2020 23:43:25
If there are any legs in the press stories about Juve wanting Pogba and Inter wanting to swap Fred with Ericsson I would be up for that. Then I would go all out to get Declan Rice to be the new Matic.
{Ed002's Note - (a) They might be interested at the right price. (b) Inter want Eriksen moved on as soon as possible, preferably in January. If Manchester United were interested it would be as a Bruno Fernandes replacement.}
1.) 23 Nov 2020 10:19:05
Last year I was hoping United would sign Eriksen as we need an attacking midfielder. However, Bruno is our best player by a mile and VDB (while not getting much game time so far) is a great replacement for him as well as others in our midfield.
I'd much rather see us sign a defensive midfielder who is an improvement on Fred and Matic. The issue is we have too many players already so adding to that would be a problem.
2.) 23 Nov 2020 10:27:36
What happened with Eriksen Ed? Seems to have lost his way?
{Ed002's Note - It has not worked out and he is not a natural fit in the side and has asked to leave.}
3.) 23 Nov 2020 11:24:25
I like Eriksson. But now with bruno they fill the same role essentially so no need to go for him now.
Although there could all be clubs in for bruno soon enough and he may well get tempted to leave so maybe not a futile link.
4.) 23 Nov 2020 11:31:24
Not to sound too cryptic Ed but do we need to be looking at Bruno Fernandes replacements?
{Ed002's Note - It is not a position Manchester United are looking to add to right now as far as I understand.}
5.) 23 Nov 2020 11:34:44
Ed002 that is probably the second or third time you have mentioned a player being a Bruno Fernandes replacement. Is something going on with Bruno behind the scenes with him may be leaving the club soon?
{Ed002's Note - People keep asking about AM players who would be first choice - the only way that would work is if BF were moving on.}
6.) 23 Nov 2020 12:00:09
Ah ok, understood. Thanks Ed.
7.) 23 Nov 2020 12:39:45
Grass isn't always greener Eric79.
8.) 23 Nov 2020 21:06:54
I’d Eriksen for Pogba.
9.) 24 Nov 2020 00:46:36
Thanks Ed 02 for your reply. Could not Bruno and Ericsson work together a bit like De Bruyne and Silva did for City?
{Ed002's Note - I think it unlikely.}
10.) 26 Nov 2020 11:26:56
He’s even slower than Matic. Finished as a decent player years ago.

11 Jul 2025 07:54:06
Have to say Gibbs White for £60m seems good business to me. I would like him for us as he works hard always looking to pass forward and knows where the goal is. I would have bought him as a Bruno replacement and integrated him into the team over the next year or so. Bruno is unlikely to be producing at the level he did last season for more than another two.
{Ed077's Note - people have been saying Bruno can't keep on producing the numbers he has for almost every season since he got here, yet he has always managed to contribute to the team. MGW, on the other hand has had 1 good season (number wise, season long) in the PL. 60m for him makes the 65-70m valuation of Mbuemo look modest if anything. ( I guess it's all opinions at the end of the day)
1.) 11 Jul 2025 09:44:21
Agree Ed. This £50-60m seems to be the benchmark for players of this ilk in this window. Mbeumo is the pick of them in my view, probably even more than Cunha.
A lot of talk yesterday suggesting the delay is down to Utd showing that they're not prepared to be held to ransom as with previous years but in this case he's probably underpriced if anything IMO.
{Ed077's Note - Mbuemo has been better for Brentford than either of MGW or Kudus had been for their respective teams for more seasons. The only thing is Mbuemo has less to run on his deal than the others
2.) 11 Jul 2025 10:15:08
ED077,
Mbuemo woukd be a great signing for Utd. I'd pay that bit extra to get him. He would add so much quality to Utd, that has been lacking. After that, I'd go our for a CF.
3.) 11 Jul 2025 11:14:47
The same gibbs white who's only managed 18 goals at forest. In 3 seasons. In all competitions. Not a chance he can replace bruno.
4.) 11 Jul 2025 12:06:37
Good player but not on the same level as bruno imo.
5.) 11 Jul 2025 15:12:48
Strange how everyone else at every club that a sale goes through, our supporters want that player and make every excuse that they are better than what we have…kudos and Gibbs rolled into one are nowhere near Bruno or even an aging Cassermiro.
08 Jul 2025 21:30:34
Chelsea look like they got two good centre forwards in Pedro and DeLaap. If they get a good start with their squad they will be a title contender.
Looks like this year will be very hotly contested at the very top but unless there is a big tranche of transfers in this window I think it should be entirely feasible for Utd to get back into the top six. Brighton Villa and Palace are weaker than last year. I can't see Forest doing so well again. Newcastle should do ok.
{Ed025's Note - top 6 is a massive shout Salford7, maybe top half is realistic mate if you sign another 3 quality players...but i do like your optimism.. :)
1.) 08 Jul 2025 23:15:44
Top 6 with the same squad as last season bar 1 player.
We will be lucky to get top 10.
2.) 09 Jul 2025 04:07:27
Top 6 ATM will be a push that’s for sure, still no goals in this team, still poor slow injury prone defence still awful GK and a slow non mobile midfield…. That don’t add up to top 6 unfortunately.
3.) 09 Jul 2025 06:34:05
Top 10 would be an achievement next season, still only one addition to our forwards and five stuttering departures.
What I would like to see is more consistency from the team and a bit more clinical in front of goal, is that too much to ask.
4.) 09 Jul 2025 06:35:24
Get a really good No9, GK, CM plus complete MBueno and I think we may not get there but would flirt with top four or five. As it is now, top ten is a big ask.
5.) 09 Jul 2025 09:41:06
Aiming for Europa spot plus a decent cup run is good enough for me. If we're more attractive to watch and there's clear progress all the better.
6.) 09 Jul 2025 11:41:37
8th would be my prediction today - no european football means Amorim -who I like- and his coaches have nowhere to hide as that means at least 4 solid days a week on the training ground - he came with a reputation of being a top coach so let's start with a clean slate but if a player can't or won't buy in to what he wants in terms of effort or skill then bomb them out and give a kid a chance - soon as the season starts he will already be in the bookies top 5 to be sacked so he hs to get it right very quickly in tems of on field progress.
7.) 09 Jul 2025 13:49:08
If we actually score more goals it will be a huge help and that was our major problem last year. I still believe.
8.) 09 Jul 2025 14:21:37
Call ne a fool bit there are A number of factors that make me think we have a realistic shot at top 6.
No Europe - whilst there is a financial hit I think the time to be able to plan and get more training in Amorim's style will have a huge benefit.
Injuries - we are not likely to be hit quite as much next season by injuries due to reduced games allowing for rest, also a bit more luck!
New players - yes we only have Cunha in but we are likely to get Mbeumo eventually as well as a striker and central midfielder. These may come once outgoings but I am sure these will happen at least
Other teams - whilst other teams will improve players there is a realistic chance that some of the teams will dip a bit. How will they cope with playing as well as Europe, will teams like Forest/ Villa have as good a year
We will just be better
Only time will tell but at this stage with no games played why can't we be optimistic.
9.) 09 Jul 2025 22:44:31
I really do hate to say it, but my biggest concern is Amorim.
I know a lot on here love him and say he’s a top class coach but I’m still very much on the fence.
I’ve said it before, I’d happily be proved completely wrong but I don’t think he’s the guy to take us up the table.
04 Jul 2025 16:14:21
Somebody suggested Partey recently as potential transfer option. Can you imagine if we had signed him (I know it was not all likely)
On a serious note, and without judging Partey as I don't know the facts about his care, are the clubs guilty of not giving enough proper education to these players about how to act as a mature person should and especially towards women.
1.) 04 Jul 2025 16:41:12
This has been around for a long time, seems like they've finally caught up with him.
2.) 04 Jul 2025 17:03:03
Players shouldn’t need to be told that it’s not okayto (allegedly) rape people, Salford. It’s kinda wild that the CPS waited for his contract with Arsenal to end before pressing charges.
3.) 04 Jul 2025 17:07:44
I would say that it's not the responsibility of a club to educate a player on conduct in their personal lives, and where exactly would the line be drawn - should clubs employ people to chaperone players when they're likely to encounter other people?
If Partey's guilty then, like with Greenwood, the buck stops with him. Before I was even a teenager I knew that no meant no and we all know that he, as an adult, would have understood that too.
It's the values of respect, dignity and empathy that are different, not status or privilege - the clubs have no responsibility whatsoever to ensure their employees act like normal people when in the company of others.
4.) 04 Jul 2025 17:25:58
It is very odd that the alleged offences were 2021/ 22 and were an open secret. Surely they didn't wait for his contract to expire, that would be abhorrent.
5.) 04 Jul 2025 18:32:23
I agree that ideally it should not be necessary to tell any person tape is not ok. Without at all excusing such terrible behaviour if you have young men paid huge amounts of money who are treated like they can do no wrong and who have lots of women and drinking etc then one can understand why those who are not educated do think they can do what they want without comeback.
6.) 04 Jul 2025 20:13:00
Nope, I completely disagree Salford.
Those boundaries of conduct and respect for others should be taught and learnt from quite a young age - mostly from their parents and early peers.
Put simply, there is absolutely no sensible mitigation drawn from any kind of circumstance - none whatsoever.
Every man who commits crimes of this nature has displayed abject disrespect and contempt for every woman - including their mothers.
If he's guilty, then he is outright scum, it really is that simple for me.
A question for you:
If the bubble in which these people exist instills such a firmly impervious mindset, then why are we still talking about a distinct minority of players who do these things that isn't too dissimilar to general society?
7.) 04 Jul 2025 20:14:07
Tony you can bet that if this was united the media would be having a field day, they did with greenwood and all that happend around that. Arsenal should have some questions to answer, because it doesn’t look great tbf.
8.) 04 Jul 2025 21:54:38
This has been publicly known information for three years, haven't you heard the boos? There were recurring discussions of selling him, and obviously we chose not to extend his contract.
He is technically still innocent, but aye it's been a weird one having him in the team these years.
9.) 05 Jul 2025 10:04:38
Salford I agree 100% with Ork and, NO, one CANNOT 'understand' why those who are not educated do think they can do what they want without comeback. To 'understand' is abhorrent.
02 Jul 2025 08:47:50
Not sure if he has been mentioned as a potential target but Dirtmunds Gurassy would not be a bad choice for centre forward. Whether Dortmund would let him go I don't know.
1.) 02 Jul 2025 09:38:35
He did seem to be an option in the last window when we were desperate for a striker. Good player, not sure whether he's obtainable.
The likes of Gyokeres / Ekitike / Osimhen are pie in the sky in my view and we need to temper expectation. Cunha and (hopefully) Mbeumo are fantastic signings.
2.) 02 Jul 2025 10:46:44
My preferred choices for new recruits would be Mbuemo, Sesko and Nmecha or Eze. We would then be in a position to compete.
3.) 02 Jul 2025 14:05:44
Compete for what? Tenth place?
4.) 02 Jul 2025 17:15:41
What a pathetic thing to say redseven.
24 Jun 2025 21:05:01
Elanga sold by us for approx £17m and now Forest turn down £45m!
1.) 24 Jun 2025 22:10:06
Nice sell on clause there 30% of profit i believe.
2.) 25 Jun 2025 01:36:50
Different kettle of fish at United. Iv enjoyed watching Forest this year but Elanga has the benefit of being able to go missing for extended periods and no one notices.
Was a decent price for him at the time and he's had a good couple of seasons. We should be selling off squad players every season.
Chelsea, Liverpool, City all sell their academy graduates, squad players for very good money. It's something we've never been competent at. As Ken pointed out, getting a peice of his future transfer is good business.
I understand not getting any money for Sancho and the talk of Rashford for £35/ £40 million because of their obscene wages, that's just out medicine we have to take for being idiotic handing out bumper transfers for mediocrity.
All partof becoming a proper club.
3.) 25 Jun 2025 08:58:02
He's a good player, and would have probably been a starter in one of the wingback positions for us last season, but he isn't and probably won't ever be at the level we need if we are to get back to where we want to be.
He's actually a perfect example of how are academy should be working. We bring a player from the academy into the first team squad, give them a couple of seasons to see if they will be at the level we need and then if not sold for a good profit, maybe with a sell-on or buy back clause to either generate more money in the future or to have the option to bring them back if they kick on.
We shouldn't be hoarding them as squad players who play 100 minutes a season for 3-4 years before leaving on a free transfer.
Garner at Everton is another example of it done well. Given a couple of seasons, when it was clear he wasn't going to be what we needed him to be we sold him.
The other flip side of this is that when we keep hold of them for too long they stagnate and miss a large chunk of key development time which ultimately limits their chances of reaching their full potential.
Players like Elanga and Garner do wonders for our academy and our club by raising the profile of our former academy players. It makes buying those players from United look like a great way for mid-table EPL clubs to bring in a top quality young player who they are fairly sure will do well for them. That'll increase the amount of money we can sell them for and drive up the profit we can make from our academy.
We will always struggle to sell players who we have bought for the first team and who haven't made it. Firstly we need to sell them for at least what they owe us on the books. Secondly they are at a low ebb in their career having been seen as a failure at a top club. And finally they will still likely be on high wages for the clubs they will likely be moving to.
We will rarely make money back from players we sign. But we can make a huge potential profit from our academy players who fall just short of what we need. It's a big reason behind Chelsea being able to spend how they do.
We shouldn't be lamenting should we have kept Elanga. We should be lamenting how if we sold a few more academy players sooner then maybe we wouldn't be in as much financial difficulty as we are right now.

First time I've read one of your posts all the way through that Shappy. Spot on mate.

Angel. I applaud what Rashford did BUT on the playing field since then he has done nothing of note.
I have no idea what if any personal issues he does or does not have in his life but he is getting paid a fortune to play for Utd. He has not given good value for that money. That's beyond dispute. His salary for one year would have paid for a helluva lot of school meals.
And my comment was tongue in cheek but with a serious side to it too. What sort of example is he setting to those children who support Utd and idolise him. especially the kids from Manchester who see him as one of their own. His actions detract from all the good work he has and my still be doing unknown to me.

I heard he was on a mission to give Spanish children decent school dinners not paella rubbish.

Need a really fast centre half
Midfield still weak
CF we all know what's needed
Goalie
So that's four more players we need.

It's about changing the culture of both the team and club so that incremental positive steps are taken. No serious Utd fan expects us to make a challenge this year for the league title.

Am sorry but until we have knowledge not speculation about how transfers are being pursued any moaning is premature at best and helps no one. Let the club do its work and if later it is proved that there was serious failings then that is the time to weigh in.

All true they have a few advantages over us for sure.
First as pointed out their league is nowhere near as physical or pressured
Second there are only a few decent teams in their league meaning they can take their foot off the gas and rest players more easily especially for the big champions league games
Third they have bought really good quality technically skillful players who are prepared to work and more importantly listen to the manager
Fourth having had the Neymars and Mbappes who have failed to deliver the fans have not got on the managers back when things were not so rosy but given him the time and space to do his thing
And finally and probably most crucially the manager was FULLY backed by the board to get rid of and bring in all the players he wanted.

If we actually score more goals it will be a huge help and that was our major problem last year. I still believe.

We all know the financial strait jacket Utd are in. We also know how desperate they are for new players. If we know it so do other clubs and it must be vvv difficult to get deals done. Utd should not ambe just chucking money around to get deals done nor should it be accepting stupidly low offers for their players.
This mess will take years to resolve but better to do the hard yards now than postpone it til later.
So we just have to sit tight and manage our expectations. The manager must feel the frustration even more than us
Our best contribution is to sit tight and support the team.
