He's still a better option than Fred and McTom.

A good set-piece taker.
Can create quality chances.
Can provide 15+ goals/assists

We do not need options better than McFred but options that can go toe-to-toe against KDB, Odegaard, Mac Allister, Kimmich, Gundogan etc.

Mac Allister? Ok

Casemiro, Eriksen, Bruno, Mount, Amrabat and Fred/Tom are good enough. The only midfield that have better options in EPL is Man City.

Typical of a United fan. Do you watch other teams play apart from Manchester United?

I watched more than 20 Brighton games last season just because I wanted to understand why Mac Allister, Mitoma and Caicedo were getting rave reviews.

Another good player in that Brighton rank is Enciso...

Mac Allister is better than all our CM options and can hold his own against the very best.

Mention 3 clubs in EPL with better midfield players..

What we need is serious coaching, that was how Sterling and co were world class at Man City until they left Etihad.

Mount has been decent. Maybe unspectacular but I don’t understand the negativity.

Negativity merchants for a reason. Everything in their head is just agenda and vibes.

Hope you guys are seeing someone happy about Mount o.

Before them say na me dey formulate things.

Thunder fire Casemiro. I never understood the Mount signing and i am yet to understand it. He hasn't been woeful, but he hasn't been 50m midfielder outstanding as well. It is still early days though.

Our midfield was decent in that match, but our attack still has last season's problems, namely no CF play and blind WF play. The highline we played was also tailor-made for Vini and Rodrygo. Kudos to Casemiro and Eriksen for not bothering to track runners as well, and did i forget to add that thunder fire Casemiro?

How Manchester United signed Andre Onana: Talks before CL final, Amsterdam meet, hard bargaining​


Laurie Whitwell
Jul 24, 2023


When Andre Onana first heard Manchester United might want to sign him, the widespread belief inside and outside Old Trafford was that David de Gea would stay.



Talks on a new contract for De Gea, lasting several months, had finally reached an agreement. The 32-year-old went off for his holidays telling friends he would return to Carrington once back in England.


Erik ten Hag ideally wanted a goalkeeper suited to his style, but given the need for a new striker and midfielder he had accepted during the spring that United’s summer budget, limited to around £100million net, would be channelled elsewhere.


At that stage, De Gea had shown some improvement in passing out from the back and was on course to win the Premier League Golden Glove for most clean sheets. Ten Hag accepted he could do “one last dance” with De Gea, as an insider put it.


But after the FA Cup final, where De Gea conceded from two long-range Ilkay Gundogan shots and had to kick deep to avoid Manchester City’s press, Ten Hag decided he could wait no longer to sign a No 1 fitting his strategy. The doubt that had nagged in the 3-0 defeat at Sevilla and again after the 1-0 loss at West Ham — occasions when De Gea mistakes cost his side — became impossible to ignore.



And so, in the days before the Champions League final between City and Inter Milan, Ten Hag started asking people about the availability of the goalkeeper he had worked with at Ajax.



Yalcin Sarica, a senior agent at Wasserman Media Group, had originally been talking to Ten Hag about his client
Denzel Dumfries. But then, during the phone call, Sarica brought up Onana, a player he had known since 2019 and was in the process of representing. Ten Hag was interested. The fuse was lit.




Ten Hag and Onana shared four and a half years together in the Netherlands, winning three Eredivisie titles and reaching the Champions League semi-final in 2019. At the end of their time together he called Onana a “masterful goalkeeper”.


Ten Hag was therefore not surprised by Onana’s display against City in Istanbul, a performance that reinforced the United manager’s decision to pursue a reunion with the 27-year-old.


Afterwards, Pep Guardiola explained Onana’s effect on City’s attempts to press high. “When you have a goalkeeper like Onana who can read perfectly where everyone is to pass to,” he said, “it is very, very difficult.”


United scouts also rated AC Milan’s Mike Maignan highly, and a pursuit was floated. Executives from both clubs met in Milan around the Champions League semi-final in May to talk about Maignan. But the France international was ultimately seen as too expensive. After Milan sold Sandro Tonali to Newcastle for a fee in the region of €70million, Maignan’s price rose to €100m.



In contrast, Inter’s accounts meant they needed to sell to buy even after their run to the Champions League final banked them £100million. They were open to doing business on Onana. A fee mooted initially at €70m soon dropped to €60m, with United aware negotiations could see the cost fall further. In any case, Onana was Ten Hag’s No 1 choice.

This Demehin is sleeping on duty. She take sleeping tablet come pitch?

PSG doesn’t value Hojlund as much as United sef. Their bid is worth 50m in total (10m less than United’s) and they’re ready to walk away if Atalanta says no.

They’d better accept United’s bid make everybody move on.

Sam Kerr is injured.

Our team is so poor, it's shocking to watch.

Goal ball... 1 - 1

Uchenna Kanu

Toni Payne is a baller. Plumtree and Alozie have been impressive too. Ajibade and Kanu (bar the goal) have been lacklustre.
