We were linked to that Bernadeschi loads too, maybe we saw Embolo and liked him too.

Not exactly I think Rashford will pretty much always be played through the middle, whereas Embolo would likely be used more as a winger/wide forward.
I love this summer, all our serious targets are unknown to me.
I'm enjoying the younger players we seem to be going in for, But I really hope there is some established players coming with them.
I hope this is true, a front 3 of Martial, Rashford and Embolo all running at you and switching positions would be frightening.
Remember saying we should buy him now rather than try to buy him for 4 times as much couple of years down the line when reports about the Spurs move surfaced. Good to see Mourinho read the Caf 
Not really, mostly hours behind with football news and sources from all over worlds boulevard press, not something worth clicking on.
However, in this article they claim to have their own source of a Embolo/United meeting which they never do usually.
That's at least the hope I have.
I thought he was more of a striker than Martial and is slightly more built and doesn't have the same close control dribbling?
20min states deal with Leipzig is off. United made a late offer and they do not think he will join Leipzig anymore.
From Reddit:
"Just a side note: Embolo's agent is Xherdan Shaqiri's brother. I would rate the source as very reliable, 20Min usually only cites other sources for transfer rumors but here they claim to have own information which they hardly ever do. Switzerland is a small country so it's not unlikely some information got to them from a source near the agent."

Yeah but I feel both players are similar in that they can play up front or as a wide forward. Then again I've seen very little of Basel this season, but I felt that embolo played a lot more as a striker the previous season. Saying that, I'm totally for this signing as imo it's always better to get young players who can play at a decent level and will only progress to be better than overpaying for an older lower tier player (as I can't see us getting the likes of Bale, Griezmann and co.)
20minuten.ch is a free newspaper. The most read newspaper in Switzerland.
Usually they don't come out with exclusive storys. That's why I think this could be true.

You probably could play Rashford on the wing but I think he is a lot more suited to through the middle and should continue to be played there on as regular a basis as possible.
Right-sided wide player who likes to cut in. Yes please.
good too know, so they don't have a history of making stories up. Hopefully been informed by the agent etc.
Never heard of him.
Is it the same company than the french 20minutes?
Edit: It's the same paper, they generally use informations from Reuters and AFP.
One of the future all time greats. Amazing player. Also never heard of him before.
Bailly and possibly Embolo concluded before the weekend, I am not sure I can take it tbh.

Hope this is true. This guy is an absolute beast. Him and Martial on the wings with Zlatan/Rashford upfront, that would be one hell of a front three.
same here
he's been described as a right sided Martial though so I'm in.Looks pretty good on the old youtubes. Seems to play much more as a forward than as a winger though.
this guy is an absolute beast on manager
A potential front three with Rashford and Martial looks very promising. Every time I start thinking of a bright new United, I then get a downer at the realisation that Rooney MUST play somewhere.
Ahem... corrected.This lad has a Breeliant future ahead of him.
Ok lads, I'm off out, don't worry
Do you know if they are reliable?
Please yes, I've said for some time that I want him here
Valero play for Fiorentina but yeah. SW seem so proud that they predicted we were watching one of the planets most highly rated talents
I think that they are closer to aggregators than journalists, so no I wouldn't trust them. Though I don't think that they have a history of inventing stories.
This signing makes sense and i hope it happens. Kid is versatile, has some engine on him, plays for the team and he's only 18.
His best position is on the right.
Just watched the video in the OP and he seems to be on the right wing mostly and very good at it too, especially low fast crosses. Anyone know his history of playing positions? Eg. Where did he start off playing, where now, different for International team etc. ? But I would presume he'd be for our right wing, and backup striker. Also we might have been alerted to his potential sale by the Leipzeig rumour and jumping at the unexpected chance. It reminds me of the Martial signing when his team went out of Europe thus suddenly opening up a chance which we rapidly took. Let's hope we similarly rapidly seal this one too.
The agent of Breel Embolo is Xerdan Shaqiri's brother. Shaqiri's move to Stoke must have been moneywise.
So my theory is the agent coming up with this story to get more money form RB Leipzig or United made a better offer.
Well, hopefully the latter is true.
This lad is an Embolovable talent and will have a Breelliant future ahead of him.
Ok lads, I'm off out, don't worry
No, Embolo's natrual position is ST. He mostly plays on the right wing because Janko is the better striker (more goals).
Rashford would take it no?
