I've seen enough, Fulham need Rasmus.

Make we go France go find DM abeg...I am sure Brighton already has a replacement lined up but could not get him this summer hence their reluctance to deal.
I agree. We need to look at the french league.

Rasmus linked with a loan move to Fulham.

Martinez and Yoro can do this if the Manager give them the instructions, just sad that Martinez is injury prone...
Martinez, absolutely not. He lacks the mobility to play midfield. He would be completely lost.

Collyer going out on loan to west brom

The midfield is getting thinner
Should be ok with no European football. League cup and FA Cup starts in January.

We need one of our CBs pushing up into the DM slot to ensure we have bodies in midfield but they don't do that enough.

In our game against Everton, I expected Mount to drop deep so that Cunha and Mbeumo will push higher up and be closer to the goal but it was Mount who was mostly in that space.

When defending, I hate it when our 3 CBs retreat instead of one of them to push forward into the DM position to try to sniff out danger before it reaches the box (This is assuming the 2 midfielders have been bypassed) but it never happens, the opposition seem to have a free run towards our 18 where you will find the CBs.

I am very keen to see how we approach the game against Arsenal.
The problem is that a CB pushing into midfield as a DM is too specialised. We dont have anyone capable of doing that. But all around the world, we've seen Stones do similar for City but not many CBs are that comfortable these days to play that middle CB as a DM.

The game had to be abandoned. The ambulance had to take him to the hospital and there was no ambulance to replace it at the stadium.
I saw the good news that he's conscious and stable.

Yeah his version overloads the midfield while Amorim's version doesn't.
That's the only point I was making.

Not really. They’re just fitter and more committed to the tactics.
For one they have a midfield 3. So they'll always competitive in midfield. And this is despite being hamstrung by Richarlison playing rubbish upfront. If you add Eze to the squad with Solanke and Kukusevski. They'll be very strong.

His payers are just more mobile, nothing exceptional...
Well for one thing, you'll never have a midfield 2.

Head injury. Hopefully it doesn't get worse than it looks.

Thomas Frank is playing a variation of 352.

Seems like a better version than ours.

Ahead of us.

With the significant investment we have made and the fact that we are not participating in any continental competition, Amorim has no excuse not to make top 4.
I'm not sure about 4th. Liverpool,City, Arsenal and Chelsea are all significantly ahead of us. Maybe 5th at best case scenario.

It depends. You can't stick with a failing plan. There has to be an upward trajectory otherwise will continue to fail.

It's all about money.

The only reason I might not want us to sign him is because this is the second club he's doing this but at 26m, it's a steal.
Didnt they just spend 40m on a new Keeper?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by MRTA7: 9:30am On Aug 12, 2025
PSG arent stupid. They offloaded Ugarte and were giggling in the corner as we spent £60m on him. They're offloading Donnaruma for a reason. I personally wouldnt go for him.

After years of defending ever increasing debt.

Lolz 😂😂😂 so u believe that we are broke?.. don't allow INEOS to dey whine you... Brighton is not selling Baleba to us anything less than 80m because they know we desperately need him in our midfield.. remember how much they collected from Chelsea on Caicedo.
The clubs financial state is public information. People just dont like to read. All this borrow borrow will end in a disaster if success doesnt follow. The club is up to its head in debt and the high revenues are already dwindling and will continue to if we dont improve on pitch success.

Nna eh instead of us falling over for Carlos Baleba why not test Crystal Palace resolve on Adam Wharton with 60M....

I too love that guy
This is my preference.

Amorim will never switch.. the best is to get the 2 midfielders
Or get a manager that will get the best out of the current squad.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by MRTA7: 6:40pm On Aug 09, 2025
I don't see much improvement but I guess we'll wait for the season to start.

Rasmus is definitely done at the club. I guess Amorim is like me. He didn't forget what he was watching last season. Only good thing is that he didn't ostracize him like he did Garnacho and co. Would have been useful to have him wrestling Arsenal defenders since Sesko will not start that game but. Time will tell.

I understand Juve offered Vlahovic to us for as low as 30m. Maybe aside his suspect fitness issues, his numbers are even better than Sesko's...

That Sesko fee is enough to buy a decent CF + CM.... 90m sesko isn't better than the Liam Delap Chelsea paid 30m for IMO. 60m should get us a decent CM.

Nawa
The total bid submitted for Sesko is 85m Euros including addons. Which is about £74m.

Mrviktor:
My hot take is

Urgate and baleba can't play football..

They are both similar.


We need a ball playing DM not a destroyer
You have never watched Baleba if one of his strengths is what you think is a weakness.

We just put in a bid for Sesko. 75m+10m Euros
I'm trying to be positive but I'm so concerned about this.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by MRTA7: 11:01am On Aug 05, 2025
Is anyone else concerned we're not linked with any midfielders?

What formation was ETH using? And in what light did it put the same players?
Ugarte in particular hasnt looked great either under ETH, Amorim and obviously not at PSG. I just dont see the formation that will turn him into the powerhouse we need him to be.

He's tenacious but he lacks that robust physicality that Caicedo or Declan Rice have. He also doesnt progress the ball well either via passing or carrying. To me we've spent 60m on a 30m player.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by MRTA7: 1:29am On Aug 04, 2025
We need a midfielder badly. Its actually an emergency.

I like the idea of the leadership group. Surprised we didn't have one already.
