Omo we need those goals pass Arsenal. We need goals.

Which is why I am amused by those talking about needing a midfielder over a striker. Maybe they have forgotten the Europa League final, a game we dominated and still lost because we couldn't score. Our biggest issue is clearly a lack of goals, not midfield control. Even when we control games, we couldn't score. Just look at the matches at the end of last season, especially the ones we dominated and still ended up losing, including that final.

l taught Delap rejected us?

Read my post again. I was talking about fans reaction here when we were interested in bringing in Delap who was available for cheap.

patrickmuf:
I didn't watch the other games. Honestly, we need a midfielder even more than a CF but whatever the club thinks is best, they should do...

If Bruno is more disciplined, he can play behind Cunha and Mbeumo and we use the money for Sesko for Baleba or any top DM. I wouldn't even mind if we signed a CM to add to the mix because Casemiro, Collyer and Ugarte are not enough in terms of quality. I will let Mainoo deputise for Bruno.

Maybe you have forgotten the Europa league final, a game we controlled and still lost because we couldn't score. I am glad the club is not thinking like you. Our most urgent issue is a striker and goalgetters. Not a midfielder. Even with games we control we do not score goals. Look at the last 10 games we played last season . Specifically the games we controlled we lost including that final.

Leyqute:
But you will still come here and cry when those players fail at Man Utd.

You are making zero sense.

Leyqute:
How many seasons has he had in the EPL and how many goals did he score?

He had premier league experience which is all that matters and he did very well at Ipswich coming for cheap at just €30million and you still complained. Nothing satisfies United fans.

odizeey:
If them buy Sesko, Amorim better turn him to a beast, scroing the same number of goals as Gyokeres for Sporting.

Even Gyokeres won't replicate those numbers at Arsenal so this is unrealistic.

engrelvis:
Can't this money get us a midfielder/ striker lf our scouting team know what they r doing

Go for a cheap striker in Delap with premier league experience you guys complain,go for the expensive one from another league you still complain. I have come to the conclusion United fans can never be satisfied with anything.

patrickmuf:
Where do you read excuses?

It will amount to telling yourself a lie if you look at our midfield and think we are good to go for the season. When I saw our lineup vs Everton, I hinted that we could do with a midfielder for the money we plan to spend on Sesko, that's how much I think of our midfield as the one area we need to fix...

So you didn't see the need for a midfielder against Bournemouth and west ham when we we won comfortable but because of Everton game the club should disregard their initial plan going into the summer. Why are fans so reactionary.

[Plettenberg] Manchester United and Newcastle are currently in talks with Benjamin Sesko‘s management. Both teams have presented their projects and financial offers. The decision now lies mainly with the player and his camp.

Sesko it is. Seems Watkins was back up plan.

Englishisamust:
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.

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.

PSG first thought it was about buying star players and paying over the odds wages but not anymore, now they go after players who fit are technically gifted and are committed to their project. PSG has seen the light, they now spend wisely. We don't need players that cost over 80m to be competitive.

Liverpool just signed Kerkez for 40m...
We have offered more to sign Mbeumo than Joao Pedro cost Chelsea...
Arsenal signed Zubimendi for less than we paid for Casemiro...
How much did Frimpong cost Liverpool?
Cherki?

There's value in the market as long as you're not after established names.

It was on this same thread some fans were against us signing Cherki, Delap, Mbuemo etc. Well known and well watched players. They were perceived as not good enough us to take us the next level so now imagine the reaction if we start buying Unknown players from South America, Africa, Germany etc



I don't know why you keep using PSG. They have spent nearly 900million over the last 3 seasons and still pay big bucks for players. Kvara was 70million, Kolo muani was 95, 19yrs old doue was 50, 20yrs old Neves was 60, Ramos 65m, Dembele 50 and even Barcola 45m etc. Those are huge amounts for unproven players.

patrickmuf:
The coach can only identify players working with the scouting term, he is not in charge of negotiations. The board are the ones failing here. We should look elsewhere, Portugal, Spain, France, Germany, South America and even Africa. See PSG for example, how much did they use to assemble their super team? I bet we have spent more and that's because we keep looking at established names. Pacho was signed from Eintracht Frankfurt for a modest fee, Mendes from Sporting, Ruiz from Napoli, Vitinha from Porto, Marquinhos from Roma, Barcola from Lyon and so on...We should leave England and look elsewhere.

If fans here hated getting Delap for just 30million and Mbuemo who are well known and well watched, how do you think they will react to buying unknown players from those leagues. I can even see you added Africa lol. Please let's be realistic when dropping opinions. PSG have spent nearly 900million over the last 3 seasons.

20million + Douglas Luis.

TrebleChamp:
Trashford refused to take a wage cut and Villa pulled out. Where would Aston Villa see £300k/week to pay Trashford? Malacia deal also didn't go through because of wage issue, same with Scamcho and probably with Antony too. United have done all they can to get rid of those useless players even significantly reducing their selling fee, but the players greed for money over football is what stalling their move away...

Rashford was never staying at villa so nothing to do with wages. Both Antony and Sancho have both agreed to take wage cuts to move away.

Barca just got played by Nico. Rashford will be smiling right now. Hopefully we don't settle for another loan if Barca comes calling.

None of your children deserve anything as inheritance. It's a privilege not a right.

We need to make it clear no more loan deals. If you want the player then pay up.

Lana1:
Me too I rejected Yemisi on my street and have my eyes set on Sydney Sweeney

Anyone keeping up with United knows this. Deco and Rashford agent even met in January. Deco even confirmed their interest at the start of the window which is why Rashford has been adamant on only Barcelona. If he will get his wish depends on Barcelona deal for Williams.

Rashford rejected villa and has his eyes set on Barcelona. We would have made a deal using Rashford for Watkins if he was willing to stay at Villa.

Englishisamust:
Here we go!!!!

Mbuemo. Man u will feed generations!!!!

Lowkeyly.. mbuemo is better than Salah and Yamal!!!

The Mbuemo transfer can be considered done already. Fee already accepted just few things to sort out that's all. If Delap had chosen us, the front three would have been completed by now.

Oasis007:


......United matter don tire me. Even Spillo no fit swallow am again. Dude no dey drop transfer gist again.

There have been nothing worthy to report. Just speculation and guess work.

This should likely get it done.

I don't know how to feel how about the Emiliano Martinez link. He is definitely an upgrade on what we have but he's 33 which is a good age for a goalkeeper but villa re calling 35m. What does the house think. Yes or No?

The are reports Arsenal prefer Sesko to Gyokeres so we might still be in running if they reject him.

odizeey:
When we talked about it the other time someone was saying what do we want to do in UCL. Mbeumo is unlikely to come partly because of UCL football.

Mbuemo has given us his words. He rejected Newcastle, Arsenal and now Tottenham for us.

Fair enough. Lack of champions league football is wiping us. Seems we are also interested in Ekitake.

patrickmuf:
I reckon Osimhen rejected that move to Saudi to spite Napoli...He knows that in a year he will leave for free with Napoli getting nothing in return.

Napoli has one year extension option..........

I told you all we definitely adding a striker after Mbuemo. I saw a report yesterday Amorim asked for Two 10s, a striker, center midfielder and a goalkeeper.

nitrogen:
Go and check his stats for seasons before the 24/25 season. If we want to go for a merc, we target established ones especially for 60m. This guy might underperform for us and we would be back to this point next summer.

I am hoping Amorim won’t have him replace Rasmus upfront or top strike him with Rasmus in a 3-5-2, because I don’t believe we will sign a new striker after getting Mbeumo and Cunha. Anyways, if we are to sign the guy, should be for max of 40m.

There's no where you will sign a winger coming on the back of a season after scoring 20league goals and providing 7assist in a top league like England for 40m. Sesko and ekitike with 13 and 14league goals in bundesliga are being prized for 70 to 80million. Let's be realistic for once.


As for his stats the upper season he had 9goals and 6 assist in 25games. Those are good stats for a winger at Brentford. What you will notice is constant progression and he might just be entering his prime.

TrebleChamp:
The board shouldn't show desperation by chasing this deal if Brentford want to play hard ball, otherwise we may end up paying like £100m on him like we did for Antony. Other players are available and maybe cheaper too...

INEOS will walk away if Brentford prices him over their valuation. We did the same with Braithwaith. The deal will be completed for 55m plus 5 as add ons which Brentford want.

MRTA7:
I agree but I think there is a rethink due to Delap going to Chelsea. I dont believe the money will be there for a deal for a Gyokeres or Osimhem.

You don't think the potential sales of Garnacho, Hojlund, Anthony, Sancho, Rashford etc will offset the amount needed to get a Striker

nitrogen:
This is potentially a shitty deal.
