Malacia starting for Feynoord doesn't change the facts that he's still a young potential that'll be eased into the team gradually. I have my money on Shaw as the starting LB next season.

Pretty sure no one's really banking on Eriksen playing as an AM next season. Sure he'll probably still have the same struggles. Btwn, before that move to Inter, he aso had a very average year at Tottenham. So that's years of underperformance, no matter the excuse.

Lisandro is brought in to be a CB. We went from Timber to Torres to Lisandro. If he's not brought in to be a CB, what's the point? Cuz we desperately need a CB.

As for FDJ, Barca is not the reason we've still not agreed personal terms with him. Fact is he's hoping the transfer window closes without him having to move away.

As for the last paragraph, go back to what started this Convo. I never said the signings are trash or close to being trash.

ChristineC:
I think you are joking with this your conclusion.

ChristoBam:
Watched Erikson for that year before he went to Inter Milan, watched him at Inter Milan as well. He was bang average. That's almost 3 years of football. But seems he got his groove back at Brentford. It's still though.

Martinez is Ten Hag's second choice from his CB options in Ajax. The first choice is 5'11 and there were complaints about his height. The second choice is 5'9....

Malacia is a prospect just like Amad and the likes. It's 50-50 with those.

We've been in discussion with Dejong for months now. And man still hasn't said his full yes. He's still really hoping to stay at Barca.

All of these players apart from Dejong could potentially be squad players. I know it's hard to imagine with all our players looking shitty now.

Unlimited22:
Dan-Axel Zagadou is now a free agent at 23 and no big club deh look him side.


I remember when we couldn't rest on this thread for shouts of Zagadis and Zagadat

TrebleChamp:
How did that post suggest i didn't want a new RB? I called ovo.P to let him know ETH actually want to sign a RB, since he was questioning United signing a LB rather than a RB...

Oasis007:
ETH: "I have to learn, to know my squad, the personnel, the individuals, the players.

"That is, I think, one of the biggest advantages from the tour. We have two weeks to work really close together and we will learn about each other because I want to learn about them and they want to learn about me, my coaches and assistants.”

Expert17:
ETH will bench a player with 217 g/a in 5 seasons averaging 43g/a per season.

Even in his worst season he was the highest assist provider in UCL.

By December "I told you so" shall commence

Expert17:
Bruno played for the 3rd best team in Portugal and beasted every individual awards and stats. Goals, assists, chances created, league best player.

Just imagine Bruno playing for the best team in Holland.

It's only in their head VDB will bench Bruno as a 10/SS

ovoP:
I still don't see VDB starting.. he may have done well that ajax season, but he's a limited player.. man can't play a long pass to save his life.. there's a reason he could never bench Bruno, even in his worse form. He plays too safe.. Eriksen can but I think him and Bruno will play together. Besides eriksen wouldn't be able to press as much.

Oasis007:


Somebody that should released to Nottingham Forest free of charge.

afrodoc:
I like that there is competition in that position. Bruno was too petulant last season and his discipline fell off. I still don't see how VDB gets a starting shirt though he could be a valuable member of the team. With 5 subs per match there should enough opportunities for everyone.

Oasis007:


Jones is left behind to working on personal fitness.

ovoP:
they failed because we didn't have a competent manager, and the team was disjointed. When dey leave us, they do better

afrodoc:
What happens to Bruno?

Erik ten Hag wants a right-back as well as a centre-back #mulive [@samuelluckhurst]

Cc: ovoP

ChristoBam:
We'll pay more then 50m. If we're about to pay 45m for Martinez.

Btwn, I support going for the Manager's choice. Even as I don't like any of them.

ovoP:
YThis is my issue, average players..

Bro there are other transfer windows for that, we have bigger issues in the team, the deal will only make sense, if we are able to ship out either one of telles or Shaw at a reasonable price... wanbisakka and dalot is a calamity, there is a reason we don't ever attack from the right side and we clog the left side of the pitch

Both Antony and Lisandro Martínez have placed pressure on Ajax to accept #mufc's current offers for them #mulive [@DuncanCastles]

At least this two are showing strong interest in joining United....

TeslaFC:
Is that what you deduced from my response? Lmao

Look, all fingers are not equal. Ronaldo has a standard of success and that standard is simply not being met by Man United. Let that player not named Ronaldo set his own standard of success first.

Look at the situation from Ronaldo’s perspective.

• United plans to use a 38yr old throughout next season as their striker.
• United does not have one defensive midfielder in the senior team.
• United has not replaced any player that left.
• United has gone from a Champions League club to Europa League regular patronizers.
• United used to play around 1st or 2nd position regularly, at worse, 3rd. Now, coming 4th is acceptable BeCauSe tHey aRe reBuIlding.
• One of UCL, EPL, and FA Cup used to be considered the minimum standard, now just any cup will do, no matter how small or flat it is.

With the way last season ended, one would think that United will go about their business vigorously this summer, but here we are.

When you’re obsessed with success, there are things you simply will not permit.

N.B. EPL is less than a month away.

TrebleChamp:
Why won't he ask to leave, when many of you accused him of being responsible for all the problems of the world last season. You all should be happy he wants to leave, sebi Maguire will become a beast of a defender now, Rashford and Martial will start scoring for fun and McFred will turn prime Scholes/Keane combo when Ronaldo leaves. All Ronaldo haters should find a new hubby ...

Erik ten Hag in training: "Making too many mistakes.."

Notice how he's been taking them on one-touch, quick-passing football?

Reminds me when he said "good is not good enough. The intention is to play fantastic football and win".pic.twitter.com/yFNrueetrE

TrebleChamp:
I have not seen any holding midfielder linked to United, abi De Jong will play CM and HM together. ETH is playing with fire if he thinks De Jong and Erikson only will solve our midfield problem, we need a very good HM to play with Erikson or De Jong (if he eventually joins).

MRTA7:
No. easily sell to where? with the high wages he'll get as a free agent? he's a definite NO for me. he has regressed badly. I would have thought we've learnt our lessons signing players like that.

Oasis007:
"Paulo Dybala's agents are discussing with Manchester United", per the reliable Di Marzio.

Dybala to Utd, YES or NO?

afrodoc2:
It will be interesting to see how much he has left and how he will fit into the squad.

Cardiac arrest is no joke. Heart surgery is no joke.

TrebleChamp:
Erikson..

https://twitter.com/ManUnitedZone_/status/1544029779262832641?t=9vxm2sSAytTgIhboUcU0pQ&s=19[/quote]Eriksen is such a great player...

saintkeppy:
.

All these things are just stories, Maguire should have gladly gave the captaincy to CR7, there is no excuse for them to perform, they should be happy they have CR7 as a motivator in the team, dude tried his best for the team scoring 18 PL goals, scores important goals in UCL, most of his goals came on stoppage time to earn a point or save the club from embarrassing defeats.
Who wouldn't love to have CR7 in his team.

I still maintain my stance, the current Man Utd team/squad don't deserve CR7.

Maguire with a whole Captain band was just running aimlessly within his own half, a complete mediocre with £80Million price Tag.

Sancho, Rashford, Pogba were just being there on big weekly wages, doing nothing special.

Paul Pogba is gone for free, I don't even feel it.

Kudos to David D'Gea despite poor defence, till manage to save over 100 goal-bound shots fired from all angles throughout the season.

Ellexy:
Tbh the club hasn't even done anything yet to make Ronaldo look bad. The salary you're talking about is not a secret, the 25% salary reduction is not a secret as well, an average Joe knows this.

It's Ronaldo and his camp that's wants to create unnecessary drama and put us back in search of a striker in an almost strikerless market.
