See so much of Mane in Sarr. At anything around 30-40m think it would be a very good signing.

I wonder if people would make that comparison if they weren't African though, he has pace and decent dribbler. Not so good with passing and operating against low blocks which ironically is our main problem. It would be a bit underwhelming knowing that he wasn't even close to being a priority for us.

Seen him tear Arsenal a new one in Europa when he played for Rennes though, year or two ago can't remember exactly.
 
Yeah, I had the same objection with the Mane comparisions when Scouse was making them. Mane's game was so much more than dribbling - his control and movement in tight spaces and tight dribbling there was very good, even before Klopp. I believe it was stated somewhere that it was part of the reason why they were so eager to get him.

Sarr isn't that. He seems more of a direct dribbler, albeit a very good one. Not to say that he can't build that aspect of his game, but the Mane comparisions don't make sense//

It’s definately already improved from his time in France. Polishes that a bit more and it’s literally a young Mane clone.

And no Zz it has nothing to do with his nationality ??‍♂️??‍♂️
 
Maybe Sarr played his two games against L’pool completely differently last year when he gave the best defence in Europe more problems than any other opposition player did but a straight line dribbler with pace was the very last thing he was. He was fluidly moving right across the pitch behind Deeney.

All the traits are there to have a Mane type clone under the right coaching for me.

But if we’re talking Utd, that won’t happen under Solksjaer as he does just want rapid, straight line wingers. I personally think he’d be waisted potential under him if he ended up at Utd right now to what he could well end up as.

^Edit* He’s HIGHLY converted at Anfield and nowhere near off their transfer agenda.

Which should tell you everything about what they see in his potential with the data to back their views up.

I don’t think that’s what Ole wants mate. Rashford ain’t that. Neither is Greenwood. James is defo that!

If you look at the wingers we have been linked to non of them seem that way either. Think Ole wants good dribbling players that can interchange and link up well with Martial.

Think fans are upset with Sarr simply because it’s not the dream signing of Sancho that might not happen. He would still be a big upgrade on anything else we have out RW.

All players have faults. Mane was nowhere neart the quality he is now and at first even maybe seemed a bit overhhyped even though there was raw potential with him. But in the end it all worked well as manager trusted him and made him better, so in the end the question will be if Ole has the needs to make him better and suit him into the tactics or he needs more fined player.
 
Got to say a loan for Dan James would be absolutely perfect, learning under Bielsa or Potter.

Let him develop and then come back a better player, he's not ready for us now he needs football regularly. But having said that it probably won't happen because... we have no depth.

If we got a quality RW, I'd def support this.

Absolutly against it now. Dont understand loaning now in PL young players at the same level as we have lads to just train them to get better and then send back. If he is was sold then I would welcome him as Bielsa clearly wanted him but no need fo loan deal. We have Poveda for example who can take that role.

If we where one league down then it would be other thing as we would like to get up. Also loaning maybe more mature and finished article is also okey for depth. Who has fallen out of the picking order. Bielsa is too valuable for our youngsters, not to have young loanes from the same league :D

James Ducker says there no chance of this happening due to the fact we have to many players leaving and Ole only discussed it with the player as an option if he is unhappy with his role this season.
 
With potential comings and goings at full-back, Ethan Laird has been added to the United first-team squad permanently after recovering from injury #mufc

??
 
So less than a week to go.
Any predictions how many in and out transfers? And if you feel bold predict some names.

Likely outs: Periera, Smalling, Rojo, Romero, Dalot. Possibly Jones most likely in Jan as he’s currently recovering from an injury surprise surprise.

Possible ins: Telles, Sancho/Sarr could be a surprise CB if all the outgoings get done.

Yup, let's get a short term option in Cavani, who's a free agent and will likely demand obscene wages or Jovic, who's basically a reject.

Smells like panic buy

Yeah the wages would be the factor that would sway a deal being good or bad. Because as a player for squad quality it’s a good signing.

Jovic I would prefer actually. Most Madrid fans will openly admit he’s not been given a fair chance during there manager merry go round. And Zidanes love for playing Benzema.
