We have more players to sell rather than Mctomminay I swear. Eriksen, Casemiro, Hannibal and Lindelof. For me I will want Mctominay to stay. He stays in the bench comfortably and pops up with occasional clutch goals.
As for Collyer, if am ETH, the boy is fully participating this season

McTom should be sold too especially now we can get some good money from his sale. The odd goal isn't enough to mask his performance over the course of a season.

metodman:
It just seems like they Mount and Bruno don't play same position, yet they do.

My pray is that a team buys AWB...I really don't like his play at all, regardless of the match being a pre-season match. He's also not the smartest chap.

That's why I am holding out for a LB (Shaw can't be trust), RB (Deputy for Dalot), 2 CM who are adpet at playing the DM role or DM who is adept as a CM (McTom, Erikson and Casemiro should be sold).

Casemiro has to good because he is on high wages. Erikson is old and McTom is not comfortable on the ball enough to be an option from the bench. Collyer can take Erikson's place.

They are pained.

We need a RCB anyway. I suspect Yoro is not ready to be first choice.

Same here. We don't need to throw him into the thick of things and even if we do, we need a top level option in the waits so that the pressure doesn't get to him.

Oasis007:
Lineup

Where is Rashford and Antony?

Oasis007:


MUTV shouldn't be unfortunate this evening. Pre-Season games should be free nah. Make dem allow person sees today's game o.

I will appreciate link(s), incase MUTV choose to be unfortunate again.

They stopped the Rosenborg game midway.

Oasis007:


De Ligt and Ugarte wanna join the Club, but Era of spending recklessly is over. Either they accept our terms or we move to next on the List.

I think we will eventually get De Ligt. Bayern have spent quite a lot and are still in the market for another winger. They'll need to balance the books and that's where De Ligt to United comes in.

Ugarte will also join once PSG gets Neves. Zubimendi will prefer Barcelona/Madrid but none of them is in the market for a deep lying playmaker so, we just might get him if we try.

afrodoc2:
We made over 50m in sales?

Greenwood, Kwambala, VDB, Alvaro Fernandez. I think it is close to 50m

afrodoc2:
I am suspecting it would be one of Ugarte or Zubimendi cos each one will be relatively expensive. I don't think we will spend big money on 2 midfielders, especially if we still aim to get De Ligt or Branthwaite.

I thought they said we have a budget of around £200m. We have spent a little over 100m and we have made over 50m in player sales so, spending another 100-150m should be well within our means.

Ugarte and Zubimendi won't cost more than £100m which is quite fair. McTom, Casemiro and Erikson should fetch us close to £60m.

One of Maguire/Lindelöf will be sold which should also bring in £25m or something close to it.

afrodoc2:
We are not signing both. It’s either Ugarte or Zubimendi.

If McTom, Casemiro and Erikson leave, then we will need to sign 2 midfielders.

I am still expecting Saudi Arabia to come calling for Bruno.

mrvitalis:
How anyone is surprised is what's beyond me

Buhari first for years he handed the economy to Tinubu team na... The finished the economy save for Emefule that tried to stabilize things and thank heavens Buhari was slow to implement things recommended

The economy was handed to Tinubu someone who knows nothing but has the arrogance of a prof


Now we pay subsidy of over ₦550... Yet still buy petrol for ₦750

Float naira yet spend money defending it

Borrowed 30 trillion with nothing to show for it

You don excuse your own...We all know what we are doing.

onuman:
One of them still on shuffering and smiling is passing the buck to @officialPDP.

APC has destroyed the gains made by PDP. APC made Nigeria become the official poverty capital of the world.

Is this what you could make of all you read? You must be very intelligent my friend.

Delta State and Bayelsa State remain a disgrace. If the PDP want to be taken seriously, they should task those governors to up their game...

You are blaming the FG but in your midst, you have the Governor of Delta and Bayelsa State.

If you want to get back to power, start by showing Nigerians what they stand to get if your party is given a chance at the presidency. The way to go is for PDP governors to beat the expectations of the masses something like what Alex Otti is doing (he still has a lot of room to improve but he is on the right track) but they are not doing so because they're also fantastically corrupt.

otherway:
Tell me one intelligent thing he wrote in countering Dele momohdu.

If you think Reno is intelligent then I may begin to ask if you are anywhere near intelligence.

No pun intended at all.

The onus is on you to counter his fact-filled fact filled claims.

For the records, I don't care about what you think.

Ellexy:
Don't be surprised if we make a move for him

He is 29 years old so I don't see that happening. If he was a goalie then it's understandable but definitely not an outfield player.

larride:
There's a world of difference between Ugarte and Mctominay

The thing come dey shock me. We seem to be too critical of our players yet when it is time to move those average players on, the same fans start asking questions that gets you wondering if it's the same players we spent the whole season criticising...Imagine Ellex.y comparing Ghostominay to Ugarte.

Ellexy:
Names of possible replacement?

Dani Olmo, Tijani Reijnders, Wirtz etc. The replacement must not be exactly like-for-like. With Olmo/Reijnders, we will keep the ball better. Witz is slightly similar to Bruno but he doesn't give away possession like Bruno.

TrebleChamp:
We should move Bruno on too imo, i don't see him fitting into whatever style of play bald fraud would introduce. We need a creative midfielder who can keep the ball well and make those defence splitting passes, Bruno has served well but United should cash in if an offer comes.

Your opinion might be unpopular but not with me. If an outrageous offer comes in, we should cash in on him and get a younger AMF who is cheaper and also get a CB.

afrodoc2:
We will see if we eventually sign him. Hopefully he is able to cope. The pace of the English league sometimes exposes people's weakness on the ball in a surprising way. An example is Amrabat.

Fingers crossed...

PoundHound:
Reno is trying so hard to get a job from this government. A government that has rendered once average families paupers. Giving them sleepless nights as to how to provide basic needs and essentials.

A party he was vocal against has turned all of a sudden his darling party.

Wetin poverty nor fit do nor Dey exist.

If I am the president, I won't think twice about bringing Reno into my team. Love him or loathe him, you can't deny the fact that he is intelligent and well informed.

Ellexy:
I know we won't sign him but saying he was bad at the Euros is stretching it don't you think? The whole team was just somehow.

I am particular about Rabiot because I watched all of France's games and was keen to see why Deschamps preferred him to Camavinga but just couldn't see any reason. Rabiot is not the player he once was, I was a big fan when he was at PSG and dropped his name here a couple of times but Afrodoc drew my attention to his mum and her influence which is trouble.

He is now 29 years old and even though he has never been the quickest, he has lost a yard of whatever he had for pace.

afrodoc2:
I have not really watched him but depending on clips is usually dangerous.

I was particular about how he receives the ball from the CBs and goalie, his passing and positioning.

His positioning helps him intercept a lot of balls, I feel that is one of his strongest points. Then, his tackling is also very good. His passing and turn on the ball is good but can be improved on which is very possible as he is still very young.

Ellexy:
For me I don't like his profile. We should be looking Rodri, Zubimendi, Vitinha type of players. I wouldn't mind Rabiot though.

Rabiot is the last player we should go after. He is 29 years old and too heavily dependent on his left foot... Watch the just-concluded Euros and see how bad he was...

Ellexy:
He's an old school DM for sure but in the wrong era. Nowadays, ball playing and progressive passing DMs seem to be the order of the day the way Ball Playing GKs are now.

We need some measure of control in the midfield and he's not the one to do that. He doesn't have that quality.

It his not his strong point doesn't mean he can't do a job. Mainoo will be beside him so I don't have any qualms with his signing. I'd prefer Zubimendi though.

I have taken time to watch clips of Ugarte. One thing I noticed which is at odds with what has been said about him is that his passing is underrated with his tackling catching the eye first. Ugarte is very much in the mould of an old-school but in a team that keeps the ball, he can very much hold his own...

He will be a very fantastic signing...

typicalgamer:
Fabian psg

He won’t cost above 60

Although not a hard tackler he’s a work horse who can do just about anything

Then there mikel merino he won’t cost above 40
Also a work horse

Zubimendi there’s too

Zubimendi is a solid option.

Which Calabar?

afrodoc2:
I hear that Ugarte is limited on the ball. We need someone who is not only a defensive beast but also able to pass out from deep positions.

I can't even place my head on any.

I'd have suggest Rodrigo De Paul but he is 30 years old.

Our interest in Ugarte seems to have cooled. We need to sign another CB, LB and RB (If AWB leaves).

MRTA7:
I remember Sir Alex losing out on Varane to Real. Hopefully we win on this one because I'm always skeptical on young CBs from abroad.

I more comfortable with them, less hype...

Nigeria politics, freedom of speech is allowed freedom after speech isn't guaranteed, politricking 😃😃 This country get as e be.

He is a member of a party, one that sponsored him to the Senate hence he needs to abide by the ethos of his party.

MRTA7:
This Yoro better be the reincarnate of Varane because we seem to have gone all in on this 18 year old with little experience.

I really hope he fulfils his potential here.

We battled Madrid for Varane when he was in France. I wish we had gotten him then. I hope Yoro is some sort of recompensation for us from the gods of football for losing out on Varane in the time past.

De Ligt, a LB and a technical DM. If we mange to offload players who are not needed, I wouldn't mind if we add a RWF, I don't want to suffer the pain of watching Antony for another season unless Amad will feature prominently.

BlueRayDick:
Is the West behind Yahaya Bello stealing 80 billion Naira as governor of Kogi state ?

Is the west behind Mamman Saleh stealing 33 billion Naira meant for zungeru and mambilla power plants which are meant to generate electricity for us?

🤷‍♂️

Trust me, that money is not in Nigeria, the same western governments and corporations aid these guys to steal us dry. They'll return with aid in a bid to placate us...
