Why is it a strange situation?

According to their story, his father-in-law called some relatives in London and asked how to open a bank account there. When questioned why, he would have said “it’s because my daughter is going to live there”.

Then he was reportedly asked how the negotiations were going and said: “Yeah, it’s all done, there are a few details left and after the Olympics it will be made official.”

Futbol Entre Lineas doesn’t seem the most reliable website in America. Next to the article, there’s an advert calling people to write for them for free so they make their name by being part of this community.

Then there are two websites who were supposed to be reporting these news. Futbol Total’s URL said “Hirving Lozano will be a Manchester United player”, but the article was removed.

The TV channel Univision also has a URL saying “Hirving Lozano would have reached a deal with Manchester United”, but their page keeps loading and nothing happens.

Maybe after a few more hours we’ll be able to find out where this story is coming from. But for now, it’s very strange that three websites have published it in the same hour. True or not, some strong rumours have just been spread in Mexico.

I'd have thought we were well stocked out wide. Martial, probably Mkhitaryan, Memphis, Januzaj, Lingard, Young and Mata already, and Valencia, Rashford and Pereira who can put in shifts if needed. That's a lot of cover, and Lozano won't immediately improve the quality of that group.

Mata, Young and/or Memphis getting sold, then?

By that logic, we have Rooney, Rashford, Memphis, Martial, Wilson and Keane to play up top Why did we sign Zlatan?

Because he immediately improved the quality and mentality of our attack. Zlatan will be the undisputed first choice for us up front next season, while Lozano will be another youngster fighting for a place alongside four other youngsters and three experienced players. As he's primarily a left-sided player, is he better than Martial or Memphis? If not, I struggle to see the point, unless someone is leaving.
 
Jose will buy and sell players. I think we would look for an up and coming player - we were linked to that French lad and briefly Drexler. All to improve competition but some will probably be sold.

I don't want to be 'that guy' but it would be massive commercially in the US to sign the Mexican next big thing. I can see Young going and i can see Mata playing on the wing under Mourinho. I think if he did come then it be more of a issue for Lingard as back up right winger. I don't know how much he will cost but probably not massive amounts so not a huge risk, who apparently has massive potential.
 
Good chance Rojo goes, making Young a back up left back, Mata goes, Pereira out(on loan?), that's three less already, and we don't know if we're playing with a front 3 in a 4-3-3, or a front 4 in a 4-2-3-1. So maybe Mkhitaryan is planned for the centre? Martial & Memphis left, Januzaj & Mkhitaryan central, Lozano & Lingard right, perhaps? Then again, it could be Rooney at 10 and Mkhitaryan on the wing with Lozano backing him up.
 
Just signed him on FM. Will let you know how it goes.
 
He was an injury prone mess for me. He missed most of three seasons before I had to sell him.

Seems like a decent option to bring in though. We could really use a bit more pace and trickery.
 
Cool, sign him, don't, whatever. Didn't look anything special on that youtube compilation but would be cheap and I assume we would lend him out first season, absolutely no issue with signing him or not signing him as he obviously isn't being bought as a starter and won't be expensive.

Lozano would be a great signing for the future but I don't see him being a better option the Lingard this season. Also I think CBJ would be the back-up to Shaw if Rojo left. Interesting to see who we bring in (if anyone else) and who goes this upcoming month.
 
At least his videos look promising. If you are an attacking midfielder, having a good skill and comfortable with the ball are absolute requirement. That Embolo kid didn't have much.

Andres Fassi (Pachuca president) has confirmed negotiations with United for Hirving Lozano.
 
From the little I've seen of Lozano he looks a very talented player with exceptional technical ability/close control.
 
Seems this is on. Surprising. That would mean no James, would be our third offensive signing.

We were well short wide last year.

Mata is not a winger, Lindgard is underwhelming, Januzaj ditto, Memphis had issues adjusting, Young is past it.

As of now Mkhitaryan (if he plays wide at all under Mourinho) and Martial are United quality when it comes to being starters.

Even if we get both Ounas and this lad we can make room by selling Young and Lindgard. Mata would probably be sold due to past history with Jose.

Valencia is far from a winger in Jose's team, while Rashford should be rotated with Ibra and also get an occasional game out wide. Pereira is more of a central player rather than winger.

I'd prefer us to buy an experienced winger tho rather than two promising youngsters.

Completely agree. Martial and (now) Mkhitaryan are the only two we have at the standard we require. Potentially, Memphis should be, but we can't rely on that.

Agree with everything but we won't be selling young, need some experience in the team to be successful and he's been with us one of the longest.
 
Ha! Didn't know much about him so I Googled him and went to his Wikipedia site. It showed his current team as Manchester United and indicated that he signed for £12 million on July 2. So much for the accuracy of Wikipedia!
 
Haven't watched him live, so no comments.

However, if his YouTube videos are anything to go by, his strengths seem to be pace and finishing, not much of footwork. But then again without watching live a few times can't really comment on a player's finishing ability as the compilation videos don't show how many chances the player needed to bury one.

My personal choice would be Ounas. But if our scouts think Lozano is better then their must be some reason behind that.

I agree. He doesn't look anything special from watching a few YouTube videos.

But interesting transfer nonetheless.
 
Any mexican posters on the caf? We need more insight than transfermarkt and YouTube.

He plays on the left apparently so I can't see him getting many starts with Martial around. Doesn't look good for Memphis though.

No matter who we buy now in the offensive department, looks bad for them. Zlatan u top, Rooney behind, Mkhi right and Martial left seems to be nailed on. But we need more quality.

Yeah you are right, he can do a job at full back as well and has a very good work rate. Looks like a Mou type of player.

To be fair Memphis doesn't strike me as someone Jose would love. Not as fast as Jose would like, nor creative and doesn't work hard. He's the type of a free role winger that would have a place in the team, although I don't know if Mourinho wouldn't replace him with someone of higher quality.

Either way we've done pretty well so far. 3 positions that we definitely lacked both numbers and quality are already covered and the EURO hasn't finished yet.

I can see us signing at least one young attacker and at least 2 first teamers till the end of the window. Mourinho usually signs 5-7 first team players in his debut season I doubt it will be different in his first at United as well. Especially since how far off the pace we are.
 
If we are going to sign a skillful winger, I prefer Sane, Mahrez, Draxler or Ounas before him. Mainly because we aim to compete with top clubs that have Bale, Messi, Neymar, Ronaldo, Costa, Coman, Hazard, etc.

We have signed mkh to compete with players like those (won bundesliga poty ahead of two of them) we would be signing this guy on a complete punt. Gotta love a punt.

How was his performance in the recently concluded Copa America?
Click to expand...

He had some decent moments but faded out of each game he was in, Corona was their most impressive attacker. Someone commented that he looks like Montero from Swansea and that's pretty accurate from what I saw in the Copa America.
 
Do not want if he's going to hinder the progress of Nick Powell.
 
He's not rapid is he? Can we sign some super quick players please? Where's bellion when you need him?

I did. But to be fair, it's only stylistically in that he didn't appear to be rapid but fairly quick and classy on the ball. I do think he didn't stand out as a special talent but did look interesting nonetheless.

He's probably a much bigger talent that those brief outings showed, but I do worry that we dont have enough attackers with genuinely express pace, and were adding many who don't either.

I wouldn't dismiss Valencia that easily if I were you, up until last season Willian was just a hard working ball career just like Valencia. His profile was elevated last season because of his free kick form in the first half of the season. Don't be surprised to see Tony V play in the right wing against the stronger teams next season, he is strong, quick and can carry the ball to the fancier players in a counter attack.
