The Manchester United Thread

Spain's manager has said Herrera will be a key part of his CM as he transitions the side from the days of Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets especially after the later struggling for consistency. Great news for us, will only help him develop even more. Great little player. Should of featured more!
 
Andy Mitten saying we tried to sign Jose Gimenez in Jan but Simeone would not allow him to leave, due to being in so many comps mainly CL. Says we also asked about him last Summer after we signed Pogba, but was to late for them to find a replacement. Mitten saying we are still interested and will go back in again in the Summer, with Simeone likely to let him leave.

According to Andy Mitten we tried for Gimenez last summer and again in January.

Very good! Was fantastic last season with Godin. Not many if any better CBs for the same age imo. Great in the air, good with the ball very tough tackler. Would be a great signing! Been in and out the team this season due to an injury and Godin and Savic good form. Would be the end of either Smalling or Jones if he signs. Preferably Jones. He can't stop getting injured.

It's a mystery to everyone why Simeone keeps picking Savic ahead of Gimenez, their entire defence looks - and performs - so much better with Gimenez partnering Godin. It would be understandable if he wanted a move away because he should clearly be first choice ahead of Savic, who has cost them a number of points. I think that's a massive part of why Atleti haven't been as good this season
 
Get to see Paul Scholes in action once again! MUTV at the moment live, United legends v PFA Aussies.

United team: Walsh, Gillespie, Johnsen, Silvestre, Irwin, Fortune, Poborsky, Scholes (c), Djordjic, Yorke, Saha
 
FWIW, don't want Perisic. Good player, but not the same level as Mkhitaryan, and Martial has a ceiling that'll comfortably surpass him. Would be the definition of a 'meehhhh' signing for me, and a bad one if it were to force Martial out the door.

I wouldn't mind him as an option for the left wing. Be an big upgrade on Young and give us better depth! And he does have quality. But not for the price quoted! Plus Perisic agent denied it.
 
Thing is, if he comes here, there's no chance he's going to be just an 'option'. He's started like 25 times for Inter already this season, they're starting what's a pretty exciting project (from what I hear, don't know too much about it), everything's rosy for him over there, he's not going to back his bags and come here just to be an option.

Which keeps bringing it back to the arguably rather unsettled Martial.... who I think the world of. Where would he fit in? He's too good not to be starting week in/week out, and he's at that stage of his career where he just needs to play, develop, and kick on. With Mkhitaryan, Martial, Rashford and Lingard we have plenty of options who plays inside left, don't think signing him to halt Martial's progress, or even worse, force him out the door would be the brightest thing. I think Griezmann is the signing we need, playing off Ibra/Rashford.

We shall see I guess. I wouldn't mind him here. But obviously not at the cost of Martial leaving, which I don't think he will. Think Griezmann is happening. If Young, Rooney, Wilson, Januzaj all leave and Zlatan gone next year I wouldn't mind 2-3 attacking players coming in this Summer. One think I like about Perisic is he has a great left foot and very comfortable playing on either wing. Had a cracking cross and high chance creation for his team mates. And his dribbling and pace are good also.

Maybe Jose thinks our wide options are a bit much the same. Martial and Rashford like to come in off the left more like inside forwards. Lingard, Mky, Mata the same from the right always drifting in linking up play coming inside like extra playmakers. Maybe Mourinho wants a more tradition winger who likes to stay wide and put in good crossing. Also staying wide leaving more space inside for whoever plays behind Zlatan. Just a thought.

I agree tbh, if I was United fan wouldn't really want Perisic given your wide options, probably just an alternative to Greizmann or something. Would block Rashford and Martial too not a move I expect to see probs just paper talk, and a would sooner throw money at them and get Barbosa as he is ******* wasted there had really high hopes for him once he made the move to Europe but not working out so far, hope he can sort it out though because the kid has talent to burn.
 
Mourinho has come out and denied any reports that he was there to scout or negotiate for any players the other night. Just that he was there to see a friend and enjoy the weather while attending the game. Been confirmed that we did send our head scout to the French match against Luxembourg though.

Oh and on my earlier post. Both Henderson and Tuanzebe were fantastic against France U20s.
 
Glad to hear Lingard getting a new deal. Very good squad player. Also read Rojo and Herrera will sign new ones at the end of the season.
