It must be Rojo. We pretty much offer him to every club as part of a deal, which is what we did to Nani to get Rojo, which means in five years we'll be offering Bruno to someone in exchange for.. someone, and the cycle will continue.

I think so too, honestly can't see who else we'd swap. We can't really afford to let anyone go really, the squad is small.
I wouldn't be surprised in a couple of days we'll see reports that the club are no longer interested. This seems to be an exercise to get the fans back on side.
Gomes going there with a buy back clause could be great for his development, as much as I'd rather see him sign a new contract here and go out on loan instead.
I agree with you but i really hope not this time around since we've been on a roller coaster for too long now!
We've been waiting too long for something decent/concrete to be done by ED and the Glazers
AccurateIf Ole thought Lingard would step up he's an absolute moron. I don't believe for a second that's the case.
I think Sporting played hardball in the Summer over the price after seeing what we paid for AWB and Maguire. I think we called their bluff.
Yeah feck guys who score and assist goals, work hard and have good technique, why would we want them?
I still think Gomes will stay and leave on a free in Summer
Haha, but we don't discriminate around here. You can pretend you have!........but i don't have one!
Expectation is key. If people expect him to have a KdB/Gerrard type of impact they will probably be dissappointed and view him as a failure.
If they view him as a flexible, hardworking and «honest» midfielder that gives us a bit of flair he will be considered a success.

He might as well, he's going nowhere fast here.
Yeah only way it’s Gomes is if it’s a loan til the end of the season because he’s already decided he’s leaving and wants first team football and we seen no value in putting any more energy into him.
Seems most likely which would be a pretty damning moment for Ole's youth movement when he allows one of our most talented youngsters to leave the club.
I know it was pre-season but his performance against Liverpool really impressed me as I wanted to see what he'd be like against English opposition. I especially enjoyed his tracking back at 4:15
They probably wanted silly money if a deal was on at all - everyone wants silly money from United.
If they're really strapped for cash now (as some say), we could be in a good position for once.
I'll believe this when I see it, but that aside now he's a little cheaper, and we might be able to offload some deadwood, we just forget 'he can't pass well enough' , and 'doesn't suit Ole's playstyle', or was that all to get the £10 million off, if so I bet Ed thinks he's genius all over again.
I Just can't get wrapped up in the hysteria, he was either good enough or he wasn't, if he was all along and we just went into the season without him for the sake of £10 million then it was sabotage given our need in this position, if he isn't, then how does this fits with the rubbish we've been fed since Ole came in, but a new toy will bide them some more time, and give us some hope at least.

We need to get this deal for Fernandes over the line this coming week. I would also like to see Diop coming here.
Think some of the reason many of the other big clubs dont go for him (apart from a high price in a lower league) , is that all of Sportings play go through him.
Every player more or less passes the ball to him at every given opportunity. Many of the othe clubs already have a player like that.
You could say it is a bit like Arsenal and Sanchez in that regard...
Whats good about that though, is that we desperately need a player like that in our mid.

Do you watch football? He is the definition of a hard working player.
Of course he was always good enough, we just didnt have the money to spend in the summer unless we shifted players like Lukaku and Sanchez
Well normally none of the big 3 sell there best players in the January window. This time though I am not too sure as Sporting are in a bad state since Varandas took the helm.
Also no offense taken. I say worse things about Sporting at the moment
Cheers @SportingCP96
The way you’ve described him is exactly one of the sort of midfielders we are crying out for.
That may be right. I am hoping it is more like the loan deal we did with Pereira, where he signed a one year contract extension to hedge his bets.
They say we have replacements in mind but the truth is I don’t trust our current scouting department under varandas at all. With that being said I doubt the replacement will be anywhere near the quality needed. My hope is we start returning to our core foundation and play more of the academy kids. We recently promoted a GK named Max and he has shown good signs so far.
Things in general though are looking very very bleak unfortunately.
Matt Judge and Ed will offer Sporting Rojo and a bag of crisps. Sporting will decline and Ed can say "Hey,atleast we tried signing someone".
Encouraging. Hopefully completed in the next few days.
Will be interesting to see if he is in Sporting’s squad tonight against Setubal?
When is the last time a player came directly from the Portuguese league to a top team and was successful, by the way?
I hope he moves to England and of course I would prefer he go to United as I have a soft spot and a lot of care for the club. I do see him as a potential target for Spurs though especially since Jose took over and Bruno has the types of qualities Mourinho likes in a player.
Not a tactic. He does it consistently and was a big reason why he cemented his place in the team during Mourinho's second to last season. Lingard consistently does that regardless of form and when he had that good season he was still being allowed to and was scoring goals and assisting.
Ricardo Pereira
If you consider Leicester a top team that is, they are 2nd now with him as their first choice RB so I guess you have to.
Well I think one things that helps Bruno is United are a club who are in transition and growing and this would allow both the club and player to grow together, of course there would be pressure because it’s Manchester United but there is “less pressure” to win based on where the club is at currently.
He has the same Energy and non stop running of Bernardo Silva to go with his quality in the final third...his shots from distance are automatic and can help unlock those stubborn defenses who sit deep.
Time will tell but I would be both happy and proud to see him wearing the red of Manchester United.
Thank you boss
More similar to Madison or grealish? Madison is my guess, main talent seems to be striking the ball so well ?
If Pogba goes (I think he will), I still think we ll sign Maddison who ll play in a deeper role than Bruno.
Sending gomes to sporting with a first option back would actually be smart, a league he could blossom in
Lingard did not, despite what some days Pereira has started to show better protection and play.
Pogba out was probably a shock but hey, let’s see how well this guy does.
Wish Eriksen wanted to come I feel he’ll move for half the price and is also a quality player.
