Yeah just like Sancho did
Hahaha, I was about to reply the same.
Always amazes me how negative people are of United...their own club!

Don't worry guys. It's still very early in the window. This will probably drag on for a while but he'll end up with us. I've no doubt about that.
My only worry is recently we've been haggling quite a bit over the fee of our transfers. Of course it's a good thing but I absolutely do not want to lose this lad just because we don't want to pay £5m more.
Yeah but I have to clarify a bit (before someone jump in and shit on me).Thought it was worth taking our time with negotiating a good price for Sancho, but i guess were able to do that since it seemed like he wanted/agreed to join United.
In this case i'd just pay the fecking price before any other team takes him.

Of course we should not overpay or pay whatever Rennes asking. Imo 40m is reasonable. According to reports we'll send them a bid of 30m and I don't want us to stop at like 35m then losing him because someone else jump in and pay 40m.
If I had any idea how too post an image then Walter Sobchak would be making an appearance in this thread right about now.I thought that American Indian was the preferred nomenclature now?
Here we go then @Walters_19_MuFc @Dante
Camavinga, Fred and Mctominay's passing stats per 90
Camavinga
Fred
McTominay
As I said before, interesting that statistics is being used to show how good Camavinga is on a forum that doesn't rate Fred Rodrigues. So Dante would be nice to hear why you thought Fred couldn't play those long passes now you've seen his stats? 97 percentile vs 94 percentile.
One day, Fred will be accepted for the very good midfielder he is, just as Luke Shaw has been accepted.
Always knew McT is a kinda meh. Playing him alongside Pogba in that final was a disaster class from Ole.
How about Chong and Pereira?Do you think that a Man Utd player can be included on loan in the transaction: Bailly, Tuanzebe, Amad, Pellistri, Mejbri, Dalot?
He was our best player and Fred was injured ffsAlways knew McT is a kinda meh. Playing him alongside Pogba in that final was a disaster class from Ole.
Who else should have played there?

I don’t get your point…he played very well and had nothing to do with why we didn’t look threatening. Bruno and Rashford being shite on the day may have had something to do with that…Thats the problem. He was our best player yet we barely looked threatening.
Fred and McT as double pivot with Pogba on LM and Rashford on the bench. Lashing Pogba full potential on locking oppo's defense while still had an ace to play if the original plan failed. Basically not playing all your cards together at once. We got stucked by Villareall's low block system and we had no other player to break it down because Ole had played all his best players from the start.

I see a lot of people have him in our starting 11 if Pogba leaves/is sold.
Is this guy really ready to hit the ground running in the first 11?
He is only 18.
I do watch the game though, and Fred can switch play consistently. Pogba is better and tends to attempt more hollywood passes, but that doesn't mean Fred is not good.All you need to do is watch the game to see that Fred and McTominay are very underwhelming at long passing. They practically never attempt switch the play it play a long through ball because of that limited passing range.
Fred's is betters than McTs but nowhere near good enough.
Compare Pogbas long passing to Fred's for instance. Pogba can switch the play with either foot consistently. It is a big miss in games when we pair McTominay and Fred together.
That is one thing which bugs me a lot. People talk about those two like McFred is one player. And it is unfair towards Fred. He is not top class but he is few levels above McT. In nearly everythingI do watch the game though, and Fred can switch play consistently. Pogba is better and tends to attempt more hollywood passes, but that doesn't mean Fred is not good.
I could pull up statistics that compares Fred in that category to other midfielders around the world, but then statistics do not matter when it comes to Fred.
Mctominay is a problem, Fred is not. It is just the tendency to associate what McTominay does or does not do with Fred due to how much they play together, and that is what hurts Fred's reputation.

Agree on both points.Im arguing against Pogba in any 2 and saying he doesn’t really fit with Bruno in a 3. Wrong thread though
Depends on the person, there are those that prefer Native American, and those that prefer American Indian. More referring to the “red”, not the “Indian” part of the name.I thought that American Indian was the preferred nomenclature now?
Fred's passing is fine. He needs to handle the ball better at times, but for a midfielder who can hold his own defensively, his range of passing is fine. A McTominay-Fred pivot probably isn't good enough, but that is because McTominay is mediocre. Fred just needs a partner who can take care of himself with the ball.They're not Hollowood passes. Theyre needed.
Fred does need to develop his passing further. It's not good enough to be our main distributor so to speak
He is by no means good enough yet to be a guaranteed starter at a top team. Still has a couple too many flaws but he is improving.
Our problems is we have a load of number 8s and no one to play number 6.
None of which compliment eachother.
Fred would look better next to a no 6
Pogba would look better next to a no 6
McT would look better next to a no 6.
A Midfield of Pogba Fred is good enough passing wise because Pogba is so so good and Fred is good enough if his partner is better.
A Midfield of McTominay and Fred isn't good enough because McTominays is poor and Fred doesn't have good enough passing to be the best out of the two.
It's not a slight on Fred really. It's a slight on the fact we don't have a good partner for any if them!
I tip my hat to you sir. What. A. Film.If I had any idea how too post an image then Walter Sobchak would be making an appearance in this thread right about now.

He did play, just like Rashford who wasnt 100% fit.
I agree 100%, so much hate on our own players. I get upset watching games, but I never talk so poorly as I see some people talk. I think this kid would be a great addition. Just like back in Fergie's day, we had solid players that could play multiple positions. Ole, love him or hate him, he is trying his best to get in good players for backup for the starters. Look what happened to Shaw when we signed a good player last summer, it elevated his play to one of the best in the world in his position. Have to support our players and coach, b/c it could be a lot worse if JM was still in charge!!
How about a Lindelof? Good condition, only driven nicely, lady owner.Do you think that a Man Utd player can be included on loan in the transaction: Bailly, Tuanzebe, Amad, Pellistri, Mejbri, Dalot?
