He is a beast of a player! I have tried to sign him a few times but as i have 4 good strikers im not willing to pay the quoted £129 million they want for him!

2 up early on but then we concede 3 which shows our defensive frailties but Galeano grabs an equalizer and we hold on.

Man Utd 3 - 1 Stoke

A good result to take into the second leg and we manage to control Mariner so he only grabs the one goal.

Bristol Rovers 0 - 4 Man Utd
Vila 4 Tranter 14, 28 Mateus 85
What would be considered my second string team destroys a lower league opposition and all the strikers at the moment are amongst the goals.

Man Utd 2 - 0 Aston Villa
Abalos 6 Zouma 91
Zouma grabs a goal as he comes back from injury but his stats ahve dropped a lot since that injury and age is definetly catching up with him and Papa, Serre will need a new CB partner sooner than i thought.

Man Utd 6 - 1 Arsenal
Potes 4 Tranter 36, 47 Crisetig 57 Villa 63 Serre 73
This just shows the difference from 2 weeks ago with the likes of Zouma, Vollmann and Crisetig back from injuries we are a different team.

22/01/2025
Stoke 1 - 1 Man Utd

A draw was all we needed as i give more first team players the day off today to try and keep them fit for this gruelling run of fixtures.

Stevenage 0 - 1 Man Utd
Mateus 64
This was my youth team in this match or you could call it my 3rd team but they managed to scrape past Stevenage with an average age of 20.

Wolves 5 - 3 Man Utd
Galeao 7 Tranter 47 Abalos 67
Well what can i say my first team were fairly rested after not playing for 10 days but we still go thrashed this made me consider some deadline day signings.
Equal points with Man City but we do have 2 games in had but they mean nothing i would rather have points on the board, i had a go at signing Mariner again but Stoke wanted £99million even after haggling with them all month.
Could you maybe post a screenie of the tactic you are using with man utd? I atm started a save with man utd too and I was curious what formation you were using cheers

I used a slightly different one when i started instead of 2 strikers i had just one and an AMC View attachment 314528
Key for me was the wingers they just seem to work well on this years FM i use them on all my saves Valencia was amazing on my game and i managed to sign Bale who was awesome
After a sketchy month due to a few injuries and fatigue i decided to see who i could pick up on the transfer market.
The players who went out on loan where mainly ones where we had too many players already in the same position.
We spent around £80million which seems a lot but wasnt even half of our transfer budget.
Most went on a new CB Jason Lyall from Tottenham
He cost me around £54million which wasnt too bad a price, Tottenham seem to have every player i want at the moment i went in for at least 4 players but he was all i could get.
A young GK who has the making of a future star but is mainly going to be 3rd choice at the moment but it depends how long Santiago Simon hangs on as 2nd choice before he starts complaining.
Vargas is a good young player and ahd quite a low release clause for someone who has so much potential so i snapped him up, how much he will play this season will be debatable but Gareth Bale must be close to retirement now.

2 early goals from the two front men is enough to win this match with QPR giving no real threat and De Gea happy to have a clean sheet.

Man Utd 3 - 2 Tottenham
Mateus 45 Falcone 70 Potes 115
Win in extra time
19 year old Falcone scores an all important piledriver which brings it to extra time and with me starting to pick my penalty takers Potes pops up with a real poachers effort to grab the winner and our 4th trophy of the season.
Not really the most impressive of Quadruples their are going but thats 4 out of 4 trophies in the cabinet so far this season.
Premier League
26/02/2025
Swansea 1 - 4 Man Utd
Serre 11 Tranter 25, 82 Abalos 65
A good result in the league after the come down of winning another cup, we keep pace with Man City who are keeping up with us every step of the way so far.
Only a point ahead now with a game in hand but Man City are in all the competitions im still in so it may be a case of who has the better squad rather than the better team.

Nice to see Abalos grab a couple of goals after a poor couple of months after his goalscoring exploits in the opening matches.
Premier League

Derby 0 - 4 Man Utd
Tranter 7 Papa 9, 66 Abalos 83
A good win as we finally get a break of 10 days and boy did some of my players need it.
Still only 1 point ahead if City but we now have 2 games in had but when we will catch up and play them i dont know. Potes is the 5th top goalscorer in the league but only the 3rd top in our team!
Falcone has played a lot this season more than i thought he would with the likes of Vollmann, Crisetig and Alemany getting injuries and suspensions he has been superb and the tender age of 19 he will go far in my team.
Left midfielder Rowe could become a decent squad player in the future but Nicky Beanes definetly has the talent to become a future first choice CB a position we have a lot of young prospects in.

Falcone 11 Borracha 63 Tranter 69, 83

A good win but Crisetig got needlessly sent off with only minutes to go for a bad tackle but he got injured right after this match and will miss most of the remaining games of the season.

Tottenham 5 - 3 Man Utd
Potes 40 Tranter 46 Lyall 56
Di Gennaro sent off 3
As soon as my LB got sent off for a foul in the penalty area only a few seconds in i new this result was only going one way and they bashed in 5 goals before Potes scored one in reply, Lyall managed a consolation against his former club.

Tranter 22, 33, 84, 85 Potes 36, 68, 77, 79
What a result after the poor result in the previous match we destroy West Brom with both strikers scoring 4 goals and us dominating throughout.
We face Barcelona next and Tito Villanova has had good success with them staying in charge of them for as long as i have been with Man Utd

Abalos 15 Borracha 82

Not a bad result i would have liked to have not conceded twice but Borrachas late goal got us the draw but our 3rd sending off of the month is worrying.

A terrible result as our team are starting to show serious fatigue now and in desperate need of a rest.

Barcelona 0 - 1 Man Utd
Borracha 29 Falcone missed pen 11
When Falcone missed the penalty i thought this was not going to be my night but Borracha continues with his recent good goalscoring form and wins us the tie 3-2 on aggregate to set up a final with FC Bayern.
After the derby loss we are 2 points behind City but we do have 2 games in hand this is Mancinis best chance hes had of taking the title off of us in 12 years! Tranter has moved up the goalscoring charts in the league with all his goals this month.
In one of the busiest May's i have ever had i have 2 Final's plus the last 5 prem games to deal with including 3 prem games in 5 days.

Man Utd Win FA Cup
A huge win against our fierce local rivals as we cant be seperated in normal time and with my side looking tired Potes scored a beautiful goal and then we shut up shop for what was left of the match,Trophy number 5 of the season in the bag, we have never won everything in the same season could this be the year?
Premier League
14/05/2025
Man Utd 3 - 1 Stoke
Borracha 2 Potes 31, 33
A good victory as right after Potes FA Cup heroics he grabs the headlines again with a wonderful brace keeping Stoke goalscoring machine Russell Mariner in the shadows for once.
Right im off to work last 3 games of the season will be up tonight including the Champions League Final.
A record points tally and a record goalscoring tally means we had one of the best seasons we ever had along with the fact we won all 7 competitions we were in this season.
Nobody topped the charts but at least 3 wingers got in the top 5 assists charts and all 4 strikers scored at least 20 goals.
End of season Stats and awards Next along with suprising sales and incomings
A well deserved win for Tranter with 26 goals in 29 games but at 24 i feel surely he was too old for this award, we have won this award 7 years in a row with one of our youngsters.
David De Gea yet again wins the award for most clean sheets and at the age of 34 still has a good 5 years in him to break the Man Utd appearance records.
Not bad to get so many players in the squad but im guessing my strikers didnt make it because of the rotation policy along with a lot of CM's as the Champions League one was a different story.
Gareth Bale has announced he will retire at the end of next season and as my first signing when i started this save it will be a sad day to see him leave.
First off the players who left, Zouma was moaning as he was no longer first choice and at the age of 30 now i decided to cash in on him, Marc Vila is only 26 but is very injury prone despite a good start to the season he was always the 4th choice striker and after spending so much on a goalscoring machine we didnt need 5 strikers!
Russell Mariner
View attachment 319285
Rather extravagant signing but he is one of the best strikers in the world at the moment scoring a stupid amount of goals for Stoke so i decided to splash the cash once it was announced he was unhappy at Stoke.
any chance you can post screenshots of people who play in real life in your squad like de gea and also can I see what happened to people like messi and ronaldo.
