If Onana flops we can recall Kovar if he is away on loan or move him to 1st choice if he is still here.

The market is telling you how football people view DDG. There is a reason why top clubs are not rushing to sign him even though it would be a free transfer.
For real, I'm still very much surprise no team is going in hot for DDG as a free agent.

Lol 85m pounds for a player with 9 goals in 32 Serie A matches?

It’s like their brain is paining them.
For a player with a nice off the ball movement, he's poor at finishing.

Always trying to get the ball to his left foot when through on goal

True.

But then top clubs hardly rush United players after they run their contract down.

His goals. Finished a few with his right foot.

Instead of Holjund, why not target Taremi?

One has more experience and can fill up the role of an experienced striker while next season we shop for someone as young as Hugill with a high ceiling.

The Taremi guy is not EPL proven, but is mature and thus I believe will adapt easier to the EPL.

He looks very good. Just not 85m pounds good yet. Seems to also be a dogged presser. 50m and keep the change should be enough. They bought him for 15m pounds 12 months ago. They should not let greed finish them.

If Ten Hag and the hierarchy believes he's the next big thing, then they should go all out for him. Just not at an exorbitant price.

Don't want to start hearing stories in the nearest future about how we could have gotten him for 50m but he's gone to Madrid or Chelsea for 200m.

Agree with this. Potential is not the real thing. I think 60 (add-ons included) is a fair price, and I’m being generous.

Atlanta will probably say we bought Amad, an unproven youth player for 40m 3 years ago, we should have no problem shelling 80m for their top striker.

It’s up to Arnold and co to bring them down to earth.

I will prefer hojlund than taremi. If we can sign hojlund for lesser price

Hojlund is young like Hugill with a high ceiling. Only 7 months between them.

I assume they know what they are seeing in Holjund then. They want 85 million, Atalanta that is.

Fabrizio says it's 65-70m EUR. That's 60m GBP tops.

If we bid 55m+10m EUR add ons, they won't say no.

So our opening bid will probably be around 50m+5m EUR in add-ons

Wouldn't it be funny if Evans replaced Maguire? LOL

Meanwhile that Elyh Harrison is an Onana clone stylistically. Too small in size sadly.

Humanitarian effort. Short term deal so he can keep fit until he finds a club. If by some miracle he impresses ETH well enough he could make the squad.

He wasn’t even training with the first team. He was training with the Under-21s. I smell Ferguson’s hand in the deal. Lol

His type of keeper is not in high demand. If it was 2014-2018 DDG that was saving shots like Neo of Matrix then clubs could have managed his weakness in terms of playing keeper sweeper or passing, but this current DDG makes too many mistakes even with his shot stopping IN ADDITION to his weakness as a modern goal keeper.

Football evolved. DDG did not evolve with it. It can be argued that he didn’t even improve as a keeper over the past 10 yrs. His weaknesses in 2013 are still his weaknesses today.

Nice. I read he was training only with Under-21 and that’s where he impressed ETH before signing the contract. So we have 1 Ferguson player back in the squad. DDG was the last player from the Fergie era.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 5:48pm On Jul 18, 2023
Evans back don expire and his pace don go, otherwise he would have been a cheap option as reserve CB, especially cos he is a very good passer of the ball. I am sure it is his passing that has impressed ETH cos in terms of defending he was the Lindelof of his time at Old Trafford.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by bisqit: 5:49pm On Jul 18, 2023

Funny.

Finished Johnny Evans made the squad but Magwaya didn't. grin

That PR stunt he made the other day was a joke.

Guess he wasn't even going to "fight for his spot."

How can you be so poor that you're the 5th choice CB, you're not getting picked, you're the captain, and you're not ashamed or embarrassed!?

Hardly do you hear it that a player was relieved of his captaincy status and he thought announcing it first would score some points.

And it's not as if he decided to drop the captaincy due to shame, no game time, and a burning desire to go elsewhere and play. ETH had to strip him of the title!

If ETH wasn't ruthless (like Ole) and sacked him, I'm sure Magwaya will still be running PR and hoping to captain the team from the bench.

Terrible, shameless mentality.

It's definitely his passing. His defending was suspect even when he was at Leicester

Human being just settle down write nonsense. No international player who returned late for pre season made the squad playing against Lyon tomorrow. Keep on wailing out the foolishness while you still can 😂😂
