The Manchester United Thread

Considering Morata's wage will be a lot less than Zlatan's reported wage as well, it makes sense.
 
"BREAKING: Manchester United unlikely to offer Zlatan Ibrahimovic a new contract at Old Trafford, according to Sky sources."

Lol breaking? It's not a fact it's just conjecture so how TF is it breaking news. 'Unlikely' pft, do an article when it's happened

well thare are on 24/7 so thay have to pad storys out
 
Yep pure guesswork from Sky. Can make good points for him staying or going.

He's coming back from a major injury and this will be his last season with us regardless. He will only be available for half the season and his wage is too astronomical for that to be a risk we should take.

Only thing I would say though is that we can only allow Zlatan to go as long as we 100% bring in a striker. Would be disastrous if we let him go and then didn't get any of our top striker targets.

Yeah the lay off and paying him a huge amount to miss half the season would seem to be a bad idea. But as money ain't a problem and he could be huge to have in the run in, can see both sides. Be good if he agreed to a pay as you play till the end of the season.

But cant see the club letting him go without being confident of having a replacement pretty close to signing. Be happy with new ST, Rashford, Martial as options next season.
 
Morata ain't movin' unless it's to Chelsea, IMO.He did an interview a month or so ago prasing Conte as the Manager who trusted him(it was Conte who signed him, not Allegri).
Why aren't Chelsea renewing Costa?

Because they're days away from signing Lukaku.

He obviously is interested because he's been speaking with Jose and Madrid are willing to sell.
 
Just watched Italy vs Uruguay. Not surprised to see Belotti being dissapionting. His passing was awe full as was his link up play. Got dominated by Coates. And missed some good chances. Would only be signed as a last resort for me.

It's basically the Fellaini scenario repeated.

I know you follow Italian footy a bit mate. What's your thoughts on him? I've watched most games on TV and I just don't think he will be the right signing for us. For reasons stated earlier.
 
the window hasnt begun to get warmed up yet,lots can happen so i dont think we should be discussing morata/belotti as our only alternatives.there are far better players out there,whether we will get them who knows

I like him. He scores goals, be it with left or right foot or his head, but I really think he should stay at Serie A (hopefully at Milan). He's only had one really good season and I think what United need now is more of a known quantity especially for the price Torino want.

I think United should now go all out on both Lacazette and Morata. If they try for Morata now and Madrid won't sell then Lacazette might already be off the market. Hopefully it's Arsenal who take him out of the market.

Yeah that was one of my concerns. About him having just one good season. Yes he scored goals, but I think Moratta has a better all round game and would suit us and Mourinho better. I like Lacaztte also.
 
The retained and released list is out tomorrow. Will be telling. Morata, CB. Wide attacker DM and full back needes

Left or right FB? Or both? Wonder if club deem it a priority. Suppose depends who stays Young, Darmian, Blind, Varela, Riley, CBJ.
