Not hard to be a ignificance upgrade on Lingard to be fair.Well, he's a considerable upgrade on Lingard but yeah, I was hoping for more. Lets see though, Mourinho is generally spot on with identifying weaknesses in the squad and fixing them so here's to hoping Perisic hits new heights with us if he's coming here.
Matteo Pedrosi tweeted saying Inter's asking price is 50 Million and we have verbal agreement with the player. ManUtd haven't tabled a bid as they think asking price is too much. So this might drag for few days
Don't go by other people's feelings. Most of them are misguided and totally out of line with the manager's thinking.Not surprising given the way we've set up this season. Jose has taken to Lingard big time and even after the Ajax he called it a victory for people who "believe in respecting opposition and nullifying their weaknesses". This appears in line with that.
It's just all a bit dull and unnecessary for a club of our resources. The general feeling in this thread about this player is rather sad. At best he appears to be effective and the general feeling is that he's not really got the ability to be a top player.
Important distinction being Perisic is more suited to how Jose wants his players to be. You never know he might just find that consistency under him. Players with seemingly more flashy ability have struggled under Mourinho because some players work best under certain style.
Well yeah you never know what happens in any case. Maybe martial will score 20 goals next season. But we can draw our own judgement based on what the past has suggested. And flashy player or not, inconsistency at the age of 28 is a worry with respect to potential signing.
And also, by all mean bring on all the flashy signings. It's almost being seen as a negative by some to be a skillfull player as if that leads to ineffectiveness. It's not like they don't work in Jose's system btw. If you manage a top club top aspirations you need players with flair. Conte's system has not been super exciting and his players work hard enough but along with the work horses you also need the class.
They are forced to sell due to the financial FairPlay
I can't understand all the negativity behind this alleged deal. He's the type of player regulars here have been calling for, an explosive player who can go past defenders at full speed out wide and capable of crossing the ball, different to our current 'cut inside' players. I think he would be a hit!
I agree, apart from the asking price there isn't much negative about this transfer. He is very quick and also can use both feet which is superb quality to have for attacker.
Mandzukic was already at Juve and they simply accommodated him on the flank. That is totally different from going out to buy a mediocre player.Is manzukic Average for a juventus side on the wing? May be May be not, But he provides the right balance. That's what We would be looking for.
Must have been a long fecking trip that.
You are right mate. That guy has a lot in his locker. He is also a good dribbler when in full flight. He also packs a shot.
Surely if we go for him the club is after short term success or no success at all.
I feel the same way in regards to Mourinho's transfer strategy. It's because José's type of football isn't my favourite so I'm not the biggest fan of, like you said, the specific qualities he looks for in players being a priority; albeit being important for every player. José's just excellent at pinpointing players to play his systemNot hard to be a ignificance upgrade on Lingard to be fair.
It'd weird. I rate mourinho in the transfer market very highly bu at the same time I'm not sure I like the things he likes the most in players.
I didn't say he was average. I said he could be average next season just as he could be effective. Neither is a given which is why there is a mix of optimism and negativity (more negative of course). We've had players look dangerous for other clubs be average for us, before.
Also how do you think he's the player to bring the best out of martial?
But typically he gets players that are younger and better than Perisic e.g. Di Maria at 22 and Willian at 25. Even with a cash strapped inter, he got 26yr old Pandev for free.I feel the same way in regards to Mourinho's transfer strategy.

True, but we as fans of United can hopefully take this as a sign of how highly he rates Perisic despite a lot of us not being too keen on the transfer.But typically he gets players that are younger and better than Perisic e.g. Di Maria at 22 and Willian at 25. Even with a cash strapped inter, he got 26yr old Pandev for free.
As someone who watch perisic whole his career i assure you that he is excellent winger and more important, he is true winger who plays on both flanks. Better than any of our players on the wing. He has all what winger must have. Speed, dribble, can score and can cross. And has equally strong right and left foot. Nobody really knows is he left or right footed.
Yes , people are right. He is not from top tier. He is not bale or neymar. And maybe he is not 50 mil player. But if we can't get one of that 3 or 4 superstar wingers, perisic would be a very good signing.
Where were you all this time bro? You could have saved us so much time and energy!The rumours are unfounded. He is an Inter player. His future will be decided after he speaks to his sporting advisor.
We bought Depay,Di Maria and even Mikhitaryan and all were fan favorite in the caf but they all struggled.
So i guess we should judge Mourinho judgement on transfers.

He's a decent player. If we could swap him for Mata I'd be happy. Similar age and his size and pace is more suited to a Mourinho team.
Tosic?!
Isn't he 28? When you buy at that age consistency is the first thing you expect.
What balance would this guy provide in your mind? Juve are the dominant force in Italy and have a ready strike force in Dybala and Higuin, and a track record or recent successes. We are pathetic infront of goal and very good defensively. We surely need more quality/cohesion in attack that balance from what I can see.
Maybe this guy gives something were missing. feck knows. But personally I'd like to see more players like Sane and Mane brought to the club this summer. No idea if this guy has that sort or quality.
