The Manchester United Thread

Ronaldo being moved more centrally now, very evident. So rotate/interchange him & Benzema together up top/lw, with Mariano for back up. Still 1-2 years of time for Mbappe to head there.

Morata wouldn't depend on that, what it depends on is us meeting Madrid's hefty demands (which isn't an issue) and Morata fancying it

And Zidane likes Borja Morayal.

Yeah money isn't problem for Utd even if Madrid are really demanding the fee to be paid half now half next year.

Morata is probably two or three steps ahead of Mariano in development and if they were to sell him they would probably need to sign a new striker. After this seasons success they are expected to do well again next season and potentially if they were to lose either Ronaldo or Benzema to a long term injury they would have to rely on Mariano instead of Morata.

Have to wait and see this one out. Personally doubt they will sell, but it's Madrid so expect crazy things.
 
Diego #Costa after Spain-Colombia: "Conte has sent me a message to tell me I am not in his plans for #Chelsea"

Now that this is out, why can't Atletico just buy him and let us have Griezmann :(

Wouldn't be as cocksure as your peers that Madrid are done with any de Gea move either.

Navas didn't stop them last time. And as much as Zidane fought for him last year against the President, this is Madrid. They have a habit of making their move late in a window to try f-up the other club.

You can't discount anything there.

Getting Griezmann in January, when he's been playing for Atletico in CL so he can't play in CL for us would be a shame, but I guess I wouldn't say no to that :(

He should be fine for the Europa League knockouts by then :P

Can United wait another season for him?

I'm not sure United can wait another month for him. He has new contract offer on table from Athletico, which would likely tie him up for next 4-5 years with a bigger buy-out clause.
 
If Griezmann isn't coming this summer I think we'll never get him, we can't build/prepare a team for another season around Griezmann :(

Dont worry about Griezmann mate. If he was willing to move this Summer I'm sure he will want to come next season or not. A new contract won't change that. If what the Atletico journo reported is true. Griezmann rang Mourinho and told him he was staying and Mou understood, due to the situation. Money won't be a problem signing him in Jan or next Summer.
 
Jeez he's still only 24, never realised that, you have a striker for a good possible 8-9 seasons at prime there. That changes my perspective on how much we should pay in this market.

Only thing that I'm slightly questioning is why Milan have only bid £39m for Belotti!

Initial bid and that was without the usual bonus payments. Torino also have a selection of players to choose from who they'd like as part exchange.

I'd happily pay £60m for Belotti, but if we get Morata I won't mind too much. I just feel Mourinho utilises target man best in his system, Belotti more fits that and he has the movement that someone like Zlatan at the age he is now, doesnn't.

theres is a clause in his contact a Torino fan told me. That clubs outside Italy will be charged the release clause. Belotti doesn't fit Mourinho style at all tbh. His hold up play is Lukaku standard and his movement ain't that great either. Moratta on the other hand is perfect for Mou.
