TrebleChamp:He's even saying he's ready to accept Sancho and garnacho back. Hmm. |

Oasis007:We should have signed proper technical mobile DM and a CM, the current midfielders are too slow to join attack when we are in the offensive (except Mainoo) and also slow when we need to defend. He said he is happy to start the season with the current squad, so let's see how the first few games of the season go... |

TrebleChamp:.....I don't know why I am more optimistic that Kone will do well in the position. |

akwesenana:You people should take it easy. If he says he’s done with both of them in a presser, no club will come forward with good money to buy those players. That they’re not training with the main squad is significant enough. |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Leyqute(m): 8:43pm On Jul 25, 2025 |
Oasis007:Kone is not ready. Even Mainoo needs to improve his pace to feature prominently in that midfield. |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by TrebleChamp(m): 9:19pm On Jul 25, 2025 |
Even Mark Goldbridge wasn't having it...

Leyqute:How is Kone not ready? And when will he be ready? |

"If we reach a point where they have to join the team, they will join the team because they are our players. “I know for a fact that these people, Omar [Berrada] and Jason [Wilcox] and the club have a number for these players. If they don’t reach that, they will be Manchester United players, no doubt about that." - Ruben Amorim |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 9:53pm On Jul 25, 2025 |
Leyqute:.....I wouldn’t say he is not ready, let's put him to test first. At his age, Yamal, Gavi, Pedri and co are already balling for Barca. No one says pressure should be put on his shoulders, let's see what he can do first. Who knows bro..... |

"I understand clubs are maybe waiting for the last minute, but they can have a surprise and I’m ready. I’m ready to receive the players. They have more competition – if you want to play in the World Cup this year, you need to play, so I’m really happy with that because I have more options. If they have to fight each other to play, for me it is perfect.” - Rúben Amorim |

"He [Bruno] can be [in deeper midfield]. We can change in game but I think sometimes we miss Bruno when he’s playing as a no.10. I think it’s a good position for him [deeper midfield]. "I really like when Bruno has the ball and if you have the threat of Bryan, Rasmus, Matheus in the space, if you have a player with the quality of Bruno without pressure on the ball, it gives us quality." - Rúben Amorim |

"I think he [Mainoo] can play in both positions in the midfield. Last year, he played more in front. I think his perfect position is more near the ball, always with the ball. "I think he's a big talent and you guys know that better than me, that he is a big talent. I think he needs to increase the rhythm, the pace. I'm always on top of that with Kobbie because he's so good sometimes, but he can be better. "So I have big plans but, like I said, it's one game per week and the competition is going to be huge. Everybody has to be prepared to play one game or play all the games. That is the key point in our season." - Rúben Amorim |

since you guys coach has already hinted this early that “suffering” is coming, my hope is to see it last up until January at least ![]() |

ChristineC:Watkins but any good CF will be okay at the right price. The ticking time bomb right now is our central midfield. |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Englishisamust: 11:44pm On Jul 25, 2025 |
It is just so funny that Man u is not taking this midfield as priority. We have been suffering from this for like 5 years now. I’m yet to see any window which Man U will get like 3 midfielders. Just buying what we don’t really need up and down. Have always tell people we can’t rely on maino and casemiro. Especially mainoo he is too slow and very sluggish in decision making. I pray he up is game this season. Because I can see what he is offering in the midfield . You watch vintinha connecting defends with attackers , distributing ball and a very good ball carrier and also see the likes of pedri with killer pass and midfield control. We have none of this in our squad. |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Leyqute(m): 1:41am On Jul 26, 2025 |
TrebleChamp:Have you seen him play a live match? Not short clips of his skills and goals? When you do that, you’ll get your answer. |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Leyqute(m): 1:43am On Jul 26, 2025 |
Oasis007:Hopefully he gets some minutes during preseason. Then you’ll see for yourself if he’s good enough or not for the first team. |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Leyqute(m): 1:52am On Jul 26, 2025 |
We can’t rely on any of our midfield combinations this coming season if we want to make Europe. Casemiro, Bruno, Kobbie, Ugarte. None of these guys are good at progressing the ball from defense to attack. You can’t pass to Casemiro during buildup because it takes about 5 seconds before he can do anything with the ball. Same with Ugarte. He treats the ball like a bomb. Bruno in that position will be giving possession away left right and center with his forced Hollywood passes. Kobbie maybe can do it, but his pace and speed of decision making is an issue. The funny thing is one very good passer and ball progresser can combine with any of the last 3 guys and massively improve the midfield. |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristineC: 4:45am On Jul 26, 2025 |
afrodoc:the way I see the transfer going, we may not sign any striker because non will be 'reasonably' priced. Especially since Amorim has hinted he'd rather have premier league experienced players this summer. could end up signing a GK and someone in midfield, then send Bruno up as first choice striker. |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Leyqute(m): 5:51am On Jul 26, 2025 |
ChristineC:A Cunha — Bruno — Mbeumo front 3 might actually be nice. We get an extra man in midfield as well, which is a nice thing. We will just need runners behind to score some type of goals. |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by DeadPresidents: 8:00am On Jul 26, 2025 |
VillageHustle:Yeah. I don’t listen anything that Nottingham fan has to say about my club. We are just a money cow fanbase to be milked for views, comments and subscribers. |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 8:56am On Jul 26, 2025 |
Leyqute: ![]() ........hopefully he gets some minutes at the preseason. Amorim has made it clear Bruno gonna play in the deeper role this season, thus we need a technical midfielder to partnet him. None of Casemiro, Ugarte even Collyer is technical enough to partner Bruno in the midfield hence our hope will be Mainoo and Kone, if we fail to sign a midfielder this Transfer Window. The boy has it in him to be honest, he just needs games to honing the skills and becomes a better player. |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 9:01am On Jul 26, 2025 |
Rio Ferdinand: “If I don't get a striker, I'd go midfield. 'There's only ONE name I'm thinking about, I've got to be honest, who I think fits the bill for what we need. An Amorim-type player as well. "Physically great, can drive with the ball, can take it in all areas, very good tactically, great energy, great legs, Premier League experience, centre midfield, Carlos Baleba. That's who I go and get. That's my man. That's the one I go and get. I go and break the bank.” |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 9:03am On Jul 26, 2025 |
Rio Ferdinand: “So if I got the money for the four players that are surplus to requirements now, would I get a No 9 or would I get Baleba? “Would I get a No 9 I'm not sure about, who's a bit young, inexperienced, or would I get Baleba with Premier League experience and know what he can do here? I'm going Baleba, sorry. I'm going to go with Baleba. “I think he'll have a huge impact on this squad, on this team. You free up a few people in that midfield area as well to have a little less responsibility defensively because I think he's all-action. He can do it all.” |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by spillo1: 3:22pm On Jul 26, 2025 |
Englishisamust:None of those players you have listed play in a midfield two. Put Pedri or Vitinha in a midfield two and see how their performance reduces. Maino is good enough for that role. Amorim just needs to twerk his system a little bit to accommodate. |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Englishisamust: 7:47pm On Jul 26, 2025 |
Oasis007:If I’m been real. There is nothing Bruno want offer in this Amorim plan. He is just forcing the guy to play the role he is not supposed to play. Fernandez can never be a central midfielder. And this is going to affect him. Sell Fernandez and break the banks for two 2 center midfielders.. simple!!! We need to be more strategic here. At this point, if I’m Amorim I will use everything in my power to bring player like baleba |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by TrebleChamp(m): 7:54pm On Jul 26, 2025 |
Leyqute:No i haven't, but we won't know if he is good enough without giving him a chance. The Baleba people are talking about today would not be in discussion if Brighton didn't give him a chance. |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 9:32pm On Jul 26, 2025 |
Englishisamust: ![]() ......Bruno ain't gonna be sold bruh. Its very possible for a camel to pass its neck through a needle than United selling Bruno this season. |
| Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 10:50pm On Jul 26, 2025 |
......Mainoo and Ugarte in the central midfield. Bruno and Cunha behind Højlund. Amad and Dorgu play wing-back. Trio of Yoro, De Ligt and Heaven behind Bayindir. Let's see how it pans out. |
