You're right, what am I thinking? Martial won't get near the bench with Lingard and Depay available.
Could this be a move by the agent to maximize the salary from RB Leipzeg?
Don't know much about RB Leipzig, I'm assuming as they are owned by Red Bull and appear to have made quite a swift ascent through the league, they're probably expected to do quite well next year and challenge for European football?
Still seems a bit of a strange career move. But the Bundesliga will hopefully be very good for his development and at least at Leipzig he'll be guaranteed regular football, maybe even have the team built around him.

Looks spitting dabs of Pogba in the photo from that tweet.
I'm in, he's now my favourite player since Bailly. Would be dope to have 3 fast, technical, interchangeable and creative forwards in a 433.
More than likely. Agents love using us for that.
Considering the Bailly deal was kept hidden by the club til the very end it's also very unlikely we'd have leaked anything.
So are these people with this exclusive a proper company, or the equivalent of the sun?
TBH this is leaking how the Bailly deal did... the report says he is close to signing
Dont you dare to come here and pour cold water on us, we are all nursing semis here.
Don't forget Blind. LVG was prepared to convert him into RW for next year. Needed a good replacement for Mata.
Philosophy.
Well, simply put, they have an insane amount of money and are spending it to go bypass the usual progression clubs have.
why would we leak it to the Swiss press though? Makes zero sense.
We didn't leak to the Spanish press either, who said WE are the leak
Why would him picking United over a newly promoted German side be unlikely?
I think it's very likely this is a play by his agent to either get a bigger salary with RB or maybe even get another club in for him?
Pretty sure the English press were briefed by the club, though.
Bailly also wasn't close to signing for any other clubs. Stinks of his agent pushing for more money, this one.
That was AFTER the story leaked by Cedenar SER in Spain and then Ballague went with it then Castles.
SSN got involved after and then BBC way later.
So lets see what happens in the next few days on this.
EDIT: The thing is though, he has been linked with many clubs for a few months, including Spurs and Wolfsburg, so why drop this United link now... doesn't really make sense.
Hopefully more reports follow with the same news, then we will know if this for real, which I hope it is.
Do you really think leipzig will be stupid enough to fall for that.
Pay me more or I go to Manchester United.. ?
The latter might be true. Linking yourself to United does get a lot of free press.
The report also saying he was about to sign for RB Leipzig
I'm sure all the reports first broke in Spain.
As for Embolo's agent. He doesn't need to push a move for his client. He's one of the young hot properties of europe and plays for Basle
Fair enough.
Makes sense to me we'd only be linked now, it's possible he wasn't a target til Mourinho took over. Bailly came out of nowhere, too.
Maybe this is. But the Bailly reports were in the Spanish press for a few good hours before any British outlet said anything.
I love this summer, all our serious targets are unknown to me.
Why do you assume it came from us? He plays for Basel could be coming from them.
It's just like last year all our transfer business the initial report of the signings came from the country the team the player was coming from.
Does anyone else think Embryo when they see this lads name?
I don't think we're after him for some reason, I think they're using our name to get them to pay more and quicker.
Oh this one would be my dream signing. Can play all positions upfront, is fast, physical, has amazing ball control and link-up play. I can't think of a better comparison than our very own Tony Martial. Embolo needs to work on his shot and finishing though. He creates chances all the time but he lacks Martial-coolness.
Could also be compared to Welbeck but that's probably not what you guys wanna hear

Even with guaranteed game time at Leipzig, rejecting us to join them would be surprising. That is if our interest is real.
How reliable are 20minuten? I just hope it gets sorted one way or another, Sane and him were my only muppet signings this summer.

Have we signed him yet?
I'm at the age where I don't have the time to play FM or watch Basel to enhance bedroom hipster status.
So that youtube video is the first time I've seen him. He looks direct and also shows some nice layoff touches. He also does not smash crosses against the opponents' shins.
On this basis, I give United my permission to sign him.

Hells no if we were watching a random 30 year old playing for Basel. Us scouting Embolo is way more likely.
How reliable is the source? Story seems to have come out of nowhere.
Looks more powerful than martial. Our front three will be at a whole new level next season.

Watched him a few times and he looked ridiculously talented. Also a god on FM. Like a right sided Martial in that he can play both up top and on the wing, is very strong and fast and is a good dribbler. Would be a great signing IMO. Thought he was off to Leipzig but hopefully we manage to steal him, would only cost around €30m I think so we should definitely go for jt.
When Zlatan leaves our players would go to war for his #9 spot.

Yeah I didn't mean it literally. You can't deny the gist of my point though.
We were linked to that young Mexican and that young French lad. I think we could certainly be looking at one of them. I've no idea who this lad is but I rate Basel a good team. So he's done well to play as many games as he has.
