The Manchester United Thread

Unless they have replacements in mind above and beyond the Monaco lad, I don't get why Chelsea would weaken their squad like that by selling him?

Not sure really, as Conte used him a lot last season, it's a mystery, that's why I never really believed it. Appears it is true though, either that or a massive smokescreen.
 
Lol so in the space of a few hours. You have Jackson saying he's gonna sign and terms agreed etc.To Law saying Matic is our 3rd choice DM. Then M.E.N Luckhurst saying Mourinho has no interest at all in Fabinho to Di Marzio and Bouhafsi saying we are in advanced talks with Fabinho and is a top priority looool

It does to me kind of feel like a plan B or C signing tbh... he's 29 ans we're paying £40m. I can't truly believe Mourinho's priority was ever Matic. If we get Fabinho as well it makes much more sense, if we just end up with Matic I'll be pretty disappointed.

They have to bringing someone else imo. Surely you would just keep matic and sign bakayoko.

Jose is a massive fan of matic tbh
 
Wonder who the attacker will be if Perisic doesn't happen?

Alexis (dream).

I don't know why we don't go for Douglas Costa or even Willian from Chelsea, sure Willian has flirted with joining us in the past. Not going to be cheap but both great players on their day.

Although we really do need a signing that will bring us goals, can't rely on all our goals being solved from Morata coming.

Costa's output at Munich has been real poor for all the talent in that left foot.

And that's in a dominating, attacking Bayern side.

Yeh he hasn't been great this season but he has all the talent, a move might do him a world of good. Still one of the most talented in that area who may be on the market.

Willian has said he's happy to stay and Conte wants him to. Costa has regressed a bit at Bayern plus he played more from the right, which we have Mata, Mky, Lingard who all play there. Wouldn't say no though but can be crazy frustrating!

He's gone to Juventus iirc, but yeah hes not been at his best. Not used well either though
 
I like Perisic, but at 50m euros I'd rather spend more for PEA
 
County Antrim football star 'living the dream' after signing for Manchester United

Ethan Galbraith will travel to Old Trafford this weekend to put pen-to-paper on a three-year contract with the Red Devils

A Co Antrim footballer admits he is 'living the dream' after signing for Manchester United.

Ethan Galbraith will travel to Old Trafford this weekend to put pen-to-paper on a three-year contract with the Red Devils.

The 16-year-old impressed in two trials after being spotted by United scout Tony Coulter playing for Linfield Under 16s.

That led to a visit to Old Trafford back in January when Ethan signed a pre-contract in the presence of United's Head of Academy Nicky **** and club legend Ryan Giggs.

The Glengormley teen - who is an Arsenal fan - will travel to Manchester this weekend to rubberstamp the deal, which will involve a one-year scholarship followed by a two-year pro contract.
 
Not entirely sure why City seemed to lose interest in Fabinho. He'd be the perfect RB for a Pep system in that he's another midfielder, and extremely versatile
 
So we play our first pre season friendly in 18 days time.
It would be nice if all the bullshit could be dropped and we actually sign somebody.

Im sure we will have most of our business done by then. Morata and his agent apparently want his future sorting by this week. Jardim has said Monaco won't sell any more big players after they return to training in about 10 days. Inter need to raise funds by July 1st. And Matic should be done by today or tomorrow if you believe the bullshit.
 


Training Ground Guru @ground_guru


.@ManUtd recruitment team now looks absolutely formidable. Star signing = @JavierRibalta from @juventusfcen


Here's a wider "summary" of our scouting. Cheers @jb8521

Can see why we are signing some of the most highly rated youngsters in Europe atm. Ed and **** doing a fantastic job revamping our scouting network.
