.......I won't be surprised if we close shop straight up.
We are buying 1 or 2 players. GK and CF most likely.

I think the Mbeumo negotiations were protracted not just to bring the fee down ( we failed in that) but to try to reduce the initial lump sum payment ;we succeeded in that).

I hear that we are paying less than 20m in this window for him. I think there is still room for 1 or 2 moves, especially if Garnacho and Rashford are sold.

......surprisingly, no club seems ready to get our available players for sale. EtH doesn't want Antony at Leverkusen. Chelsea choose to pay fines than to buy Sancho. Villa shipped Rashford back to us. Malacia couldn't stay back in his home country. Garnacho.....?! Tough!

Garnacho will move and it will be pure profit for PSR purposes. That is the most important exit financially. The next is Rashford which will also be pure profit.

Sancho and Antony might be loan deals. Even if we sell them it would be a loss on our books and not helpful for PSR. The main benefits to them leaning are reducing team toxicity and offloading their salaries.

......I honestly pray we ship dem all out permanently this window.

Cunha has been handed the no.10 shirt, and it has been confirmed that Leon will wear no.30.

Several other members of the squad will also be sporting new numbers, including Diogo Dalot (2), Chido Obi (32) and Tyler Fredricson (33).

What do you mean by Amorim or not? This will solely be on Amorim if we don’t score goals in the coming season.
Amorim can get sacked at any time..Any ManUtd manager for this new season has no excuse not to make us score goals..

I think Diego Leon has beaten Amass in the preseason competition.

Amass played with the Under-21s yesterday so I suspect he will either stay with them or go on loan.

Due to his physicality, Leon looks more ready for PL football. Amass is likely more technical - I haven’t really seen Leon play, but based on training videos, he looks stronger than Amass.

A loan away from the club would do Amass a lot of good. They’ve found one for Dan Gore already at Rotherham. Rooting for him.

.....according to Stones, he is going on loan.

Add sesko to this team. With zirkzee playing 10

Kaboom

It's just that left thats the weak link.
No rashford or garnacho

Nd I don't even want to talk about dorgu

Mount should stop being used on that left also.

I have watched 2 games of Leon at the South American CUnder-21 Championships. He very strong and might be one of the strongest guys in our team right now. He is definitely stronger than Amass. Amass is better technically but that WB role needs athleticism.

Leon might even be competing with Dorgu before long cos he might have better technique than Dorgu.

Another dark horse is Mantato but I am not sure where they intend to use him. He can play 3 positions in this system.

I wonder why Mantato hardly got minutes last season even though he fits Amorim’s system.

He just turned 17 in January and then he was injured for a portion of the 2nd half of the season. Right from when Amorim joined he was on my list of people that were tailor-made for the system. Kukonki is another one. The question is do they have the quality to go with the tactical fit.

Another point from the team list, Mantato and Ethan Williams have made the trip, but Lacey has not. I think Lacey should just focus on Under-21 and not getting injured this season.

Welcome Mbeumo.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by larride(m): 6:04pm On Jul 18, 2025
Get a striker and a goalkeeper or a striker and a midfielder and we are good to go.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by patrickmuf(m): 6:32pm On Jul 18, 2025
There are reports that we will move for a striker next...I'd be interested to see which striker we go after. I don't want Jackson anywhere around Manchester...

Seems Watkins is the most likely at this point. It depends on Villa’s evaluation.
He might be the cheapest available

Watkins to me doesn't look like the striker solution we are looking for.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by MRTA7: 6:58pm On Jul 18, 2025
I want a new GK. Please.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by TheLequte: 6:58pm On Jul 18, 2025
Watkins wouldn’t be that bad an addition to the forward line. He’s also premier league proven and he’s got chemistry with Mbeumo. They played together and scored over 40 goals between themselves in 19/20.

The important thing though, is that we shouldn’t allow Villa to coerce us into paying over the odds for him since we’re only going to get about 2-3 good seasons out of him given that he’s 29 already.

Hopefully, Hojlund would’ve developed into what we expected of him by then. He’d be 24 and approaching his prime.

He’s got just two years left on his contract. Cheaper in terms of transfer fees, but the wages nko? He’s currently on 130kpw.

.....its unlikely we sign any striker this window. Chido is doing well at the training, clinical and seems far ready than Højlund.

Zirkzee is another option hence I do not see board getting a striker except we sell either of Højlund or Zirkzee this window.

They should give him 140k and add plenty performance bonus. If he's not ready, he should get out.
