The Manchester United Thread

#mufc and Ten Hag have spoken about transfer targets for the summer earlier this week in the second round of interviews. [Samuel Luckhurst, MEN]

Ideal summer for me would be Nunez(st) Timber(cb) Anthony(rw) Phillips(dm)

We’ve been liked with Jussen Timber heavily by De Telegraph the last 2 days also Ducker retweeted the same articles. He’s an excellent ball playing CB in the De Ligt mould who ETH brought through the Ajax academy. RB not a priority for me. We still have at the club AWB, Dalot, Laird, Williams. And if Timber comes with ETH he’s played there also. CB, CM, ST is a must. Likely 2 CMs. But not sure 2 is needed with VDB, Garner coming back off loan. Then the new man might fancy a look at Galbraith or Levitt. Not to mention Hannibal

The RBs you listed are either untested or simply not good enough to start. I’d keep Dalot as he seems like the architectural backup RB. I’d bin both Williams (he’s already made it clear he wants a starting place) and AWB

Ethan looks promising in our u23s but so did Pereria

Ethan’s also had 2 impressive loan spells now. I just don’t see RB as much as a priority over other positions STR and DM top of the list

What do people actually see in Kalvin Philips?

He’s a very good underrated DM most likely coz he English and plays for Leeds. He has the one most pressing actions, and tackles won in Europe for a DM. He covered more ground than any DM last season and at the Euros. And his long passing to the flanks is very good in which Gravenberch plays for Ajax from the same position.
 
well if thats true just get gravenberch hes younger and a **** of a lot better

He’s nothing like Gravenberch tho. To me, he’s a budget Rodrigo. If price weren’t a factor, I’d actually prefer Declan Rice.

I’m not saying he’s the same player. Just that there actually both very good a delivering balls from deep to the attacking wide players. Rice has improved a lot but like you said the price is ridiculous! Phillips is a very good DM for ETH style team. And with his contract up next summer could be a good price. Will see anyway all talk atm. But don’t be surprised by some left field signings.
 
Erik ten Hag has asked Man United to be 100% involved on present and future transfers strategy: new signings, outgoings, new contracts. #MUFC Ten Hag considered this as the "key point" to rebuild Man United - new signings have to be totally perfect for his idea and club project. This was key in him excepting the role as Manager #MUFC [TelegraphDucker]

I’ll admit I don’t follow any of this as intimately as you do but one thing I am happy to see is no mention of Richard Arnold in all this. Looks like he’s keeping himself distanced from all this which is a good thing.
 
Rangnick: "Luke [Shaw] is still injured — he's having problems with his leg where he had the operation back in 2015. The doctor told me they decided to remove the metal things in his leg, there are two bolts that need to be removed and this will happen tomorrow." #mulive

Ducker saying him and Shaw close to agreeing new deals also.
