TFM getting a contract extension

 

[Munroe]

Surprised Fosu-Mensah is back already. Hopefully Ole plans to use him as a midfielder.

Only Grant, Shaw, TFM older players who travelled


Oh yes

Thats only 17 players. Surely more have travelled like Jones, Lingard, Mata?

Been training a month already so must be ready to get some mins under his belt. Yeah use him in CM !

Lingard has also

Ducker, The Times and Daniel Taylor saying Utds top attacking targets are Sancho and Haaland. Will go for Haaland in Jan and again in the summer. And Sancho will be a summer move. Confident on both players.

So Carrick, McKenna, Phelan all staying with the first team. While NickyButt goes out to be his assistant for the trip.

See Bruno Fernandes signed a new longtime deal with an 85m release clause. Must like Lisbon

Based on what? This board gives out contracts to literally anyone to preserve player value.... just look at Jones and how **** he is yet got a 5 year deal recently.

Either that or the fact the talk in the last window has made him realise that media transfer talk means nothing and he isn't going to get a better offer from elsewhere just yet. Signing a long term contract benefits both Lisbon and him as now the bargaining chip (so to speak) moves back into the sellers hands. That said 85m in the current market is still good value.

Think that’s the case in the Summer no parties were genuinely interested. Now he’s doing it again second season putting up same level performances clubs might start taking a serious note. The higher release clause limits his options to a certain extent though

Its a 1 year extension. What’s the problem. He’s played nearly all his loan mins at rb which isn’t even his position. And done well there for spells getting praise from media and opponents at the same time. Maybe Ole who actually managed him before wants to give him a chance to see what he can do. Moaning for moaning sakes!

Solskjaer says #MUFC squad decision was "common sense" - Axel Tuanzebe, Luke Shaw & Jesse Lingard need minutes, while Lee Grant will make his first start. OGS looking forward to seeing the youngsters playing men's football

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirms DiShon Bernard, Ethan Laird, & Dylan Levitt will all start for #MUFC v Astana

A case of covering his B utt most definitely.

Solskjær has told Shaw that he has fallen behind Williams in the pecking order at #mufc. Ole now views the 19 year old as the better player. Plans to sign a full-back in January or the Summer have been cancelled #mulive [telegraph]

As long as Shaw is above Young thats fine

Perfect scenario

Been watching both Eirling and Sancho tonight. Both would automatically transform our attack. Eirling not long been on and got an assist with good movement into the channel and a perfect timed cross. Then scored a sublime nutmeg finish on the keeper 1 on 1 only to have it ruled out for a foul in the build up.

Sancho is an interesting one and he’s clearly got issues with Favre who said in the build up he’s dropped him for not being focused lately. Brings him on at HT and he’s been Dortmund’s best player scoring a banger of a goal, then give Favre a smirk afterwards in his direction.



Edit: Eirling just scored his 8th CL goal. Perfectly timed run, strength and pace leaving the defenders looking stupid.

Håland now becomes the first teenager to score in 5 consecutive CL matches.

Maybe I'm wrong but I just don't see any of them coming here with Ole in charge.... the attraction to play for us in the Europa League? Maybe if we offer them stupid money then yes, but that kind of kills the point going down this route anyway.
