The Manchester United Thread

I just don't see value in the Boateng deal, he has played less than 20 league games in the past 3 seasons alone due to injury that is a terrible injury record for a CB. I'd just pay the money for Maguire because as much as I don't rate him he still has room for improvement.
That’s why we want a loan with option to buy.
 
Baily, Lindeloff, Smalling, Jones. Darmian can put in a decent shift in a crisis. Why on earth would you need more? Buying for quality makes sense, but numbers are fine.

Darmian looks like he's going, Bailly/Jones/Smalling are walking sick notes and Lindelof is unproven in PL. He may have a good season but it's all unpredictable at this stage.

I honestly think we're not signing anyone, I get baulking at Maguire but really confused why we couldn\t get Aldeweireld over the line. I know Levy is Levy but even he knows that keeping him makes little sense considering next summer he's going for practically nothing.

Don't they have the option of the extending his contract for a year but with a 25mil release clause. If so that is classic levy.

Even if that happens seems weird considering United would of offered £45-50m this summer.
 
Darmian is off.

So block Darmian's transfer or recall some youngster. How is it a good idea to add an injury prone Boateng on huge wages to cover for also injury prone Bailly/Jones/Smalling?

When I look at United's squad, the first thing that comes to mind is how the **** Jose spends $400 million on transfers and somehow you barely have any players who would get into Liverpool's first team. Pogba and De Gea, and the latter just barely over Allison. Maybe Sanchez on a good day but he doesn't have many of those lately.

Squad depth is the least of your worries, lack of quality is.
 
he needs to be our by the 9 or he wont play till jan

Feel like I've been living under a rock, I knew there was speculation & talk about this a few months ago, but I didn't actually know it went through? In a World Cup year of all years?

Yeah mate, you have about 28 hours until deadline.

Darmian wants to go, we already have enough players who are in that position (who want to leave).

I get your point, it's all rather strange. Why we didn't strongly go after an LB / RW (if Jose persists using Sanchez as LW)...... for me these two positions are even more a priority than CB.

Such a shambles of a window honestly, not happy at all with it.
 
Of course United always paid fair value for every single player.

chelseas transfer stategy is a shambles,uniteds not much better.We will leave it at that.not good enough from both.
 
Even despite Chelsea's dismal window they've probably done better than us, got more out the door and with their new keeper/ Kovacic/ Jorginho.

We've signed Fred and a kid who has like 8 first team appearances for Porto main team. That's not me putting Dalot down but that deal would of been easy to do and Fred was worked on during the season.

Absolutely disgusting really, even Sanchez has come out and said we need to be signing players. Jose said we wanted two more and he was open about that. He's going to be more miserable and eager with the excuses already Woodward has given him that chance.

We can sign several sponsors everyday seemingly but can't do our business better, smh.

Chelsea have far more holes than United. We never needed than 4 max, Maguire still thinks a move is on. And we don't need a wide player if Martial is staying. The only deal we need to do is for a central defender.
 
How has United approach for a Director of football been going last I heard you guys were looking for one. A DOF who works with both the manager and the scouting department would be a great step forward.

Martial will occupy the left, which Sanchez will probably play again knowing Mourinho. If we are going to be happy with Lingard/Mata on the RW then fair enough but I can't see how this LB situation is good enough. A below par Shaw and an ageing Young, when the games start to flow Young can't play now regular games, as we seen at WC with England.

If it doesn't work they will reinforce left back January. We've long complained for Shaw to be given faith. Well here it is. And Young is more than competent enough for any level for the next year. And Young csn play regular games. He and trippier covered more ground than anyone in our side. And he outlasted the Spurs man
 
Reinforcing in January is a terrible move because there is usually no one good available. Next thing we know it will be another LB we'll be shipping out in a few seasons time.

Makes you wonder what on earth Zlatan was on about a month or so ago when he said that there was some surprise for United fans and Mourinho had something up his sleeve? Hopefully it's not Zlatan coming back in the winter.

I'm sure Zlatan just wanted to say something positive and exciting to get us happy
 
I'm with Dilakh on Boeteng, don't think he represents a good deal at the reported fee (too many risks, Bayern know what they're doing when shipping out), but hearing there's a possibility of a loan deal? That'd be ideal. He's still considerably better than what we have bar Bailly, declining or not.

Still have my heart set on Toby though. Less confident that the deadline's tomorrow, but still hopeful.
 
French media reporting we're in for Zouma from Chelsea, oh my god hahahahahahahahaha
