The Manchester United Thread

As for Maguire, he's nowhere Koulibaly or Varane's level, but he's no ***** either. He's on Stones level, and could be even better. He would def help. He's better than the CB's we have. We can't start a new season without a solid CB pair.
 
Issa Diop would be cheaper & younger alternative for Manchester United than Kalidou Koulibaly or Harry Maguire. £45m offer was discussed plus a United player. United players offered were both defenders. West Ham not interested
 
Latest reports claim that Pogba is ready to go on strike to force a move (although, apparently, it's from Spain, so it could be RM machinery at work). I honestly don't care either ways whether he stays or goes. If he stays, we get Pogba in our midfield for atleast one more season. If he goes, good, as long as we replace him properly.

However, I would like that we don't baulk from our demands of over 150 Mn. No matter what Pogba or Raiola does. If he goes on strike, well, too bad. RM can either pay the money, or **** off. There are 3 years left on his contract, so not a risk of him running it down too. Don't need a player from RM too (unless it's Varane), so 150 Mn+ or bust should be our stance. And apparently, Glazers have informed Raiola that Pogba is not up for sale, so good that someone is taking a tough stance (although, it is more for marketing reasons than anything else)

Mate. Again, sources? Please for the love of God link the first hand source
 
From Stoney BBC: Pogba to reporters in Tokyo. “I have in Manchester 3 years; some good moments and some bad moments, like everybody. I think for me it could be a good time to have a new challenge somewhere else."

I don't want the club to hold on to Pogba and Lukaku needlessly so we have to sit and smile whilst they are here for more seasons than they even want to be.

I've said this all along, the sooner they are gone the better for this club moving forward, everyone knows its a big rebuild so lets just move on.

I don't mind either of them leaving. As long as its on our terms. And thankfully enough, the club seems to be sticking to their guns.

I honestly don't mind if we do not sell either of them this season also, prices are not going to drop next season, considering the years left on their contracts, and we can focus completely on replacing them (instead of during the rebuild).

Agree. Despite the club clearly briefing that he won’t be sold and will be here next season, after the lastest comments what’s the point!

This. We always complain we don't get good prices. That's because we don't stick to our guns. Absolutely backing Woodward on this for once. 150m and 80m are actually pretty good and fair prices given the state of the market. Meet this or **** off. The club has enough money to sign players without selling them. So we're in a strong position
 
Great mentality and attitude: Henderson: “I‘d give my right leg to play for this football club. That has been my dream since I was a little boy, being a fan. I'm working hard in the background and waiting for any little opportunity that comes. If it does, I’ll take it for the next 10-15 years.” #mufc
 
Absolutely love Pogba and think he's great and can probably become even better BUT no point in trying to keep someone who doesn't really want to be here..
 
I agree with Mike. Pay what we ask for or gtfo. Otherwise we'll just be a middle point for players to go for Real or Barca.

In another hand, we'll have lost Pogba, Herrera and Fellaini. We have to rebuild our midfield, and i'm afraid we'll end up with Longstaff, Gueye and Tielemans or something like that.

We basically replaced Fellaini with McTominay. Herrera we need someone like tielemans, ndombele etc. Which were looking to get so I'm happy on that front. We need another player like that. And if Pogba goes Bruno fernandes becomes key.
 
Despite Pogba potentially leaving. Least the players are there to rebuild our CM and have actually made enquires to do so if Pogba leaves.

I get that side of thinking, but in this situation what would SAF do? Get rid of them immediately to stabilise the dressing room.

Thinking about this from Solskjaer's point of view... he's going to have key parts of the dressing room who don't even want to be here and will not put the effort in when to matters just like last season. For me they have got to go, this summer is the best possible chance with all the players on the move to get good replacements.

If we go in to next season with these clowns we're screwed before we even start, Solskjaer needs to build with a team that is fully behind him.
