The Manchester United Thread

Only £55m upfront fee for Frenkie De Jong is a great deal in anyones books! Especially as Barca wanted around £75m. That’s some negotiating right there and will go a long way into seeing us get more of EtH first choice signings in. Let’s see what the personnel terms will be.

If we can shift out the deadwood and get some decent fees like what Fulham have offered for Periera that’s enough change to give me hope going forward.

The add ons total the transfer fee up to £70 million
 
With the signing of Tyrell Malacia close that must spell the end for Telles and possibly Williams. If we can get him for the £10m OL we’re going to pay we could make a profit in the process. Looking like it’s gonna be a good window of shifting out long overdue players. And being smart in the market.

If we’re signing a left back, I’d assume one of Luke Shaw or Alex Telles is getting sold?
 
Erik ten Hag heavily scouted Tyrell Malacia while at Ajax, appreciating his speed, positional awareness, high interception rate, and ability to attack space. Malacia fits the profile of player he wants at Manchester United. Club not denying strong, advanced interest in the LB
 
@WhoScored
Tyrell Malacia was the only player in Europe's top 7 leagues to average >1.5 shots pg, >1.5 dribbles pg and >2.5 tackles pg last season. A full-back that does it all!

€14m euros reported fee. This could be an absolute bargain deal. Like when Pool got Robertson
 
I knew Murtaugh and EtH would have targets ready to go as soon as he got his key piece of the puzzle in De Jong done. Long may it continue!
 
Another good thing about the Malacia deal is that it won’t even eat into our budget they way the deal looks structured. Wages saved on players wages left will cover the deal.

Do you know if we have any targets outside the Dutch contingent?

Anthony is Brazilian, Lisandro Martinez is Argentinian, Pau Torres is Spanish who is a backup CB. Rahm the German FB is back up LB according to Patrik Berger. Nunez wasn’t Dutch. The new backup GK isn’t Dutch. I’m sure there’s more in the list.

I do love how you’re so defensive, you missed the sarcasm in my comment
 
Lyon confirming that Malacia is dead after he agreed to joint Utd after there late bid. Also just read that the £54m for De Jong will be paid over 3 instalments. Which makes it an even better deal. And stretches our budget further.
 
Chong going back to PSV for around £6M according to Dutch reports. Shame never worked out for him. Some horrendous injuries!

Played well on loan at Birmingham last season. Be good business to get that for him with 1yr left and hardly played any football in 3 yrs. and missed nearly a season and half when we first signed him due to a knee injury.

If we can get around £20m for both him and Periera, Murtaugh making a good start as DOF.
