Not another fragile Dortmund player, please. I'd rather we go for Timo Werner or someone of that ilk
Christian Pulisic | Signed by Chelsea

So as me. I was excited to see we are up to Pulisic purchase until realize whose report it.
I dont think it's a Dortmund curse just that the two players we've bought from them were two players that had the sides built around them and going from that to being shoehorned into a position with us has been the difference (well that along with all the other usual factors)
Same.
I have little doubt that we will be signing him at some point in the future for precisely these reasons.
The first American superstar - United will go PSG-style for. We will smash anyone's offer - such is our strategy to be THE club in the US.
I just wish we had a settled, quality first-team and could buy him for big money this summer and blood him into the team from the subs bench.
I would also add that even if we had splashed £200m net or so and looked done in the market... if this kid looked available or others were moving for him, I'm sure we would put the money on the table.
Our best chance of securing any sort of financial superiority over Barca and Real, and the other PL teams is to really own the US market. It's probably our only possible way to achieve that.

He was a big United fan as well. Our largest fan base on US finally got us something back. We got lot of fans around the world but always dominated by Madrid and Barcelona of South America players.
Pulisic admits he supported Liverpool’s big rivals Manchester United growing up.
“I was a big Manchester United fan when I was younger, so I loved to watch Wayne Rooney,” he told ESPNFC.

Oh god, feel old when a footballers recollection of watching United as a youngster is Rooney.
Sounds like we want to wait another season but will make a move if someone else tries, like what we did with Jones and Martial and I'm pretty sure this was the case with Rooney as well, we would have waited a bit longer had Newcastle not made a move..
He's progressing well and will continue to do so at Dortmund, being only 19, so I can understand why we'd like to let him continue to do so until the time is right. I guess we are just prepared to move on him if someone else does, even if that means getting him in earlier than we thought. This is too good of an opportunity for United and the Glazers to pass up, for sure.
de bruyne was a liverpool fan and his favourite player was owen when he was a kid
him being a childhood united fan might not be all that...

How many players have we been linked to today? 
We should, even though he's only 19, he's a better overall player than both Mata and Mkhi at this stage of their careers, he's faster, he's better in tight spots against pressing teams, more effective in 1 v 1 situations, great crosser and finisher, and much more mentally tough than Mkhi. Mata is tough as nails and still has many other great attributes, but simply doesn't have the speed or quickness to keep up with the rest of the team. CP also has some leadership intangibles that would fit in nicely at United.

Ed is being a giddy bastard today for sure.How many players have we been linked to today?
Pulisic is a must. We could build our team around him and Pogba and give Pulisic the No. 10 shirt. Although I think that we should have a deal in place and have him play in Dortmund for another 2 years on loan.
Or it 'might' be significant..

Makes sense commercially and could be a good fit for the RW spot. If he's available I definitely see us going for him.
What incentive would Dortmund have to sell him to us now and keep him for two years? They have a genuine future star, and who knows where prices would be if they sold him in two years?
It’s also a risk for us to pay massive money today for a player we won’t have for another two years. We might not even want him in two years!
He’ll be out of contract in 2020, so they’ll be selling him before then.
This is the only summer they'll get a massive fee for him if that's the case, if he doesn't sign a new contract that is. Depending on if clubs have sounded out his advisors already about a future transfer, I can't see him signing a new deal. I think the player will see the PL too good to turn down, it'd be the ultimate showcase for him to show his talents.
This kid has to be the new Number 7, without a doubt, he can become a star that nails down this position and this number for nearly 15 years.
was really bad this first half of the season. had the most unsucessful dribbles in Europe. just like Julian Weigl, Tuchels System made him look very good and both struggled in Boszs system, but that´s normal for young players. curious to see how they are doing in the Rückrunde.
Were Lfc ever in for KDB?
How many players we will sign exactly this month? Our name almost involved in every transfer. I say we will be signing no one this window.
. I say we will be signing no one this window.It’s better for our prospects than him supporting another team as a kid.
He can pull a Dembele after all.
Pulisic is a level above those two. He's going to be a great player
I would love for Pulisic, possibly the first truly world-class player from the US, to play at United. Makes sense for so many reasons.

I don't quite understand how you can just stop being a fan? It doesn't make any sense to me.
He's a Dortmund fan now. Joined them as a kid. Learned a new language, new culture. It's covered in the doco about him.
Think it’s a joke tbh.
Is that him as a kid at Old Trafford?
His grandad was born in Croatia. Had a chance to play for our NT but refused. A shame.
Lucas Moura would be a better signing tbh, and 4 times cheaper too.
He feels American apparently. He even pronounces his last name with a k I believe. Which is bit weird but I guess it makes sense if you live in the states.
He's also in the top 10 in attempts and 2nd in Germany in successful dribbles.
Yeah he's 2nd generation American so it's not strange although on the other hand some opt for the country of their grandparents.
De Bruyne grew up and realized life has choices - he chose wrong, but he was right in ditching Liverpool at least.
