Fernandes and Longstaff to replace Pogba. Longstaff. Will be riots if that happens.
Totally agree but it's becoming like a game of Jenga. Small pool of big players with a bigger pool of clubs that can afford them.
I'd rather we spend 80m on SMS rather than 50m on Longstaff, but Longstaff is our target, Carrick rated him highly, so I wouldn't be shocked if that happen.

He’s played 9 games not 90.
The good thing is there are only 10/11 days left so we’ll know soon enough.
BBC confirming lack of interest? M.E.N claiming in their article that MUFC is irritated by Portuguese journo's making things up on behalf of Sporting, using MUFC to start an auction and we only have a passing interest?
We need more creativity than just pogba, teams know to swamp him then you cut our supply off
Bruno can be the playmaker we actually need versus a showboater in Pogba. Long range passing doesn't justify being our "best player".
Deadline day transfer perhaps?

No he hasn’t. He’s played 70-odd games in senior football. And players don’t just start playing football when they make their senior debut.
The poster above says sporting have no reason not to accept 36m so in that case we know for sure
Yeah I think it is well reported that we had a look a couple months back which I'm sure a few other clubs did. Everything the last while is Portuguese
Can you name any other prem examples bar the best team ever
Deals burn through cash - agent fees and signing fees etc. Obviously I'm not at expert but I could see our business this summer cost 30 or 40m in friction
The Fernandinho bit in there is key. We have Matic.
Pressing and playing on front foot, as a team is key. If you play pragmatic football with that midfield, it will be hilarious to watch.
Yeah that as well.
Thumbs up @charlenefan. Very good post that I agree with.
Might as well close this, it’s not happening.
Plenty of leaks to reporters of no interest.

And played his best in a double pivot.
I don't agree. Think the key is they are the best ever premiership side and that their full backs play as defensive midfielders and they maintain possession numbers and style ole isn't capable of coaching and they employ tactical fouls every time they do lose the ball. If anything man city are a case study in why you can just have one centre mid without the system changing massively to cater for it... even with all that they only have one player capable for playing there... who knows if rodri will work out
'UNITED AGREE FERNANDES FEE'
Manchester United have agreed a fee of close to £70m for Sporting Lisbonmidfielder Bruno Fernandes, according to Sport.
Apparently the Portugal international’s move to Old Trafford could be confirmed in the next 48 hours.
According to Sky Sports

According to Sky Sports
But its not according to them is it? Literally says its according to Sport. It's shite.
Not according to Sky Sports then
Sounds legit.

Ok sorry, I'll rephrase. That's what Sky Sports are saying....that Sport is reporting that

Don't know if it's going to be confirmed in the next couple of days or if it's going to be confirmed at all, given our inability to finalise deals. But by watching us during pre-season and by observing where Ole wants his attacking midfielder to move in the final third, i wouldn't be surprised if there's a genuine interest in him (not just fabricated stories by the press or his agent) and if there's a late but honest attempt to make this transfer go through.
We’d need a Fernandinho then.
Yeah true. That tactical foul thing seems to be the way forward now. I've noticed Liverpool do it as well, they sort of pull out of the foul before the ref blows the whistle usually but this is constant.
Sounds like Valencia to replace Ronaldo.
Are there private jets today from Sporting to Manchester?
Nothing on earthisflat.com, unfortunately.
Fernandes will be officially signed Wednesday or Thursday. It has nothing to do with Pogba. If Madrid manage to scrape the cash together, SMC will replace Pogba. Maguire will happen, or else Alderweireld would have been approached. Longstaff won’t happen. The loonies up in Newcastle won’t let it. And no point busting the bank on him. And as a bonus, Dybala for Lukaku would be fun. Might even see another striker come in regardless.
It’s all left late. But that is because Pogba and Lukaku haven’t left yet. But they will, and I’m sure the deals are in place.

That's the new trick by newspapers, quoting random other news, knowing they can't be blamed when it is not true, but get their click baits anyway.Not according to Sky Sports then
The guy can pass.
Soon we'll see their lineup in their friendly vs Valencia... if he's there then we can finally put this crap to bed with 100% certainty
That video made me miss Scholes. Some of those passes were Scholes-esq.
How will this put it to bed exactly? Some journo’s are saying he’ll play today as his last game.
So this is actually happening?
Nope.
