The transfer window is open in England today for one day. Only for player registrations with players signed not allowed to play this season.

Mason Greenwood, Marcus Rashford, Antony Martial, Jadon Sancho, Jack Grealish, Daniel James, now that is the attacking depth we need..

Declan Rice isn't a "bad shout" for a potential summer Manchester United signing. He is being offered around but the price would prove prohibitive at present — the price could reduce if West Ham are relegated.

Patrice Evra:

Speaking head in silhouette "José Mourinho really let Martial down when he swapped the [no.9 shirt] with Zlatan. I remember we were with the national team and he received a call from the club saying he had to give the no.9 shirt and he said 'no, absolutely not'."

Official: Alexis Sánchez and Chris Smalling's loans with Inter Milan and AS Roma have been extended. Smalling until the end of the Serie A season. Sánchez until the first week of August.

Rene Meulensteen: "They brought Ighalo in as a player who could help Manchester United in certain times and he's actually done very, very well. But if you look at the other players there - Rashford, Martial, they're not really out-and-out strikers." [talksport via goal]

Phil Neville on Bruno Fernandes: "Sign someone who can win you the league title, sign someone who can unlock the whole team. At this moment in time, I don't want to go overboard, but he is that good. His stats prove that."

Phil Neville on MUFC: "They've been missing that link between midfield and attack. The forwards have been missing that creativity, someone who can find a pass. You look at the great teams, they all have that someone who can unlock the door, someone with that creativity."

There’s no question Manchester United are heading in the right direction. Will be fascinating to see how Paul Pogba performs now he has more players around him of similar ability. Such a talented and clever footballer.

Jamie Redknapp: "This (Manchester United ) team could do some real damage. They've got so much quality and pace. If they add Jadon Sancho as well they will be even better."

Obviously still happy after last nights win vs Brighton, but it did concern me when our performance dropped after Paul Pogba & Bruno Fernandes were both substituted off. If it wasn’t clear & obvious already, then it should be now. We need another midfielder this summer.

For Bruno Fernandes' second goal against Brighton, the ball travelled 102 yards in 11.35 seconds, at an average speed of 18.4mph, making it a quicker counter-attack than Ronaldo (18.2 mph) and Rooney's (16.5 mph) goals against Arsenal in 2009 and 2010.

"Pre bruno" sure of beating only Leicester,
"Post bruno"sure of beating all except Leicester.

Stat zone: Bayern Munich are the only team in Europe’s top 5 leagues with a longer unbeaten streak [25 games] than Manchester United [15 games] across all competitions (W11 D4)

macjireh:

With 10 clean sheets, David de Gea is currently three clean sheets off the Golden Glove leader.

United's Home and Away pattern is laughing at Arsenal's chances of playing in Europe.

Harry Maguire’s game by numbers vs. Brighton:
91% pass accuracy

Wan-Bissaka now has four assists for Manchester United in the Premier League this season - surpassing his assist tally at Crystal Palace in the 2018/19 season (3) in 13 games fewer.

Full time thoughts:

- Bruno is world class

- Bruno, Matic & Pogba is the trio

- Greenwood can’t stop scoring

- AWB with 2 assists in 2 games

- Rashford & Martial quiet but not bad

- De Gea 2 big saves + clean sheet

- Matic playing = clean sheet

- Maguire & Lindelof solid

Bruno Fernandes: “It's not fair for the other guys if we just talk about me and Paul, Fred & Scotty did an amazing job, we are a team they push me to do better"

Bruno Fernandes has been directly involved in 10 goals in 13 games since making his Man Utd debut, more than any other Premier League player in that time.

And he hasn't even lost a match yet.

Solskjær: "Paul Pogba was top. He got hold of the ball, sprayed it, won headers. He's just going to get better and better."

- BBC

12 months ago Manchester United would’ve likely lost a game like this. Now with Fernandes, and Pogba, they can break teams down that sit back effectively. Still improvements to be made, but certainly on the right path.

That Burnley defeat felt like the beginning of the end for Ole. Couldn't see him making it to the end of the season. Won 11 and drawn 4 in the 15 games that have followed, beating City twice and Chelsea. Didn't see that happening. Let's hope we can keep building on this now.

Bruno Fernandes has found the back of the net (Premier League) more times than Ozil, Guendouzi and Joe Willock combined this season.

He joined in January.

Since Fernandes made his PL debut:

• Man Utd are unbeaten in the competition (W5 D3)

• Fernandes has been directly involved in more goals than any other player in the competition( 8.)

• Martial is the top scorer in the competition (6), Fernandes is joint second (5).

Manchester United are now unbeaten in 15 games, keeping 11 clean sheets and scoring 38 goals.

Understand Leroy Sane will earn just over £385k-a-week at Bayern Munich. Man City went as high as £170k-a-week.

Leroy Sané to Bayern for under €50m is an incredible signing. They have managed to successfully replace Robben & Ribery with Gnabry & Sané. An incredible duo alongside Lewandowski. Further highlights the importance of effective and efficient management by directors at a club.
