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.
Not 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.
 
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

They are forced to sell due to the financial FairPlay
 
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.
Don't go by other people's feelings. Most of them are misguided and totally out of line with the manager's thinking.

See for yourself. Watch some of Inter's matches (I mean full matches) to get a better idea.
 
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.

You can be class without being overly flashy. Perisic during the euros was class when he tore Spain apart. Or let's say different type of flashy. I am also under the impression that you haven't actually seen him play much. He isn't exactly a work horse only type. He is at least to me quite exciting to watch.

The very recent past have also suggested that both Martial and Mkhitaryan have struggled although they seemingly have enormous ability.

In the end you need both and I am not saying Perisic is someone to swoon over neither is he a kind of player that one should be disgusted by(not you but many are). I value the apprehensions from the likes of you as I myself am not convinced we need to spend so much for a 28 yr old. But at the same time I have no problems seeing why our manager might go for a player of his kind.

Yeah that's what Pedrosi said in the following tweets. Hull relegation means they won't sign Rano, so that's one more blow to them.
 
Surely if we go for him the club is after short term success or no success at all.
 
I can't comment on him as I've rarely seen him play but I fully trust Jose to sign players that fit his system and perisic obviously does.

Come on people have a little faith in Jose, he will get it right. If he wants him then it's for a reason.
 
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!

People have fear for the price and the age, and I agree

But he is a good player, a bit inconstant but far better than Lingard and Depay, another level.
 
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.

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.
 
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.
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.
 
Surely if we go for him the club is after short term success or no success at all.

Why no success at all I don't get that? Also managers last in general 18 months nowadays so why keep buying 18-22 year olds that take 4-5 years to hit heights maybe his thinking. Jose will bring success at United I have no doubt. Plus if Shaw comes good (bigger if by the day) then there still is a position for Perisic in both the team and squad.

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 system
 
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?

Okay, sorry if I misunderstood you mate.

But 'could' is a word we can use for any player in the world who has never played at Old Trafford. In reality, any new player could end up average.

My point about Martial is that at times real competition for positions in a team fighting for titles on all fronts, can bring out the best in some players. Last season we saw how players like Rojo, Dermian, Fellaini and Romero improved because they were fighting for their careers.
 
I posted this in another thread but sits better in this one.


I can see the sense in Perisic as it would allow us to go 352 (especially in big games) with Valencia and Perisic either side to allow Griezmann (if we get him) as a second striker and Pogba in a position that is supposedly his best position. (This maybe the thinking)
I would love Shaw, Blind or Darmain to be able to fill this wing back role but for individual reasons they all come up short.
Against the so called weaker teams even if we reverted to a 433 and Perisic played left back we'd have a very attacking option there or if we continued with the 352 then both wing backs could push up further forward.
If we play away versus a West Brom or Stoke then he could be a good option in the left side of the front 3.
As a fan I would have preferred Silva but Jose has been playing a lop sided team all season and our play has been affected. Down the left our full backs have been dreadful to be honest and offered nothing in attack this has obviously (not all) had an affect on Martials form. Now all I have written is hypothetical but if Jose is looking to readdress the balance of his squad who can blame him?
Perisic can play left back left wing and left wing back to a high standard. A muppets dream no but neither was Bailly and I've also seen posts in here about picking top 4 players to sign and some want Valencia replaced when our left side is shambolic. This left side needs addressed to allow our football to become better and our goal output and style to be better.
Trust in Jose that's what I say.

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.
 
The rumours are unfounded. He is an Inter player. His future will be decided after he speaks to his sporting advisor.

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.
 
We need pace, width and the ability to dribble, the exact qualities he brings, he also works hard (from what little i've seen), which is another thing Mou demands from his players, if a winger has a shit game but is prepared to put in a shift defensively he's still more useful than say.. putting Martial left, on a shit day he offers feck all in attack AND defense.
Quite curious about this one, lets be honest its mainly the price thats making us all balk.
 
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.
 
He was fantastic in the Euros, that's all I've seen of him other than youtube videos over the last couple of days. He does seem to provide a different skill set on the wing than what we already have.
 
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.
 
He was very good at the euros. Other than that, no nothing about him.

Still don't see why we just don't get Douglas Costa.

QFT, hence why I see him more as a specialist solution for Mou than a top tier player which may ultimately work out just as well, if not better

Plus, silly money has already begun in football - I think this summer will make few remember Martial or Pogba money spent
 
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.

I don't think we can judge Mourinho's judgement that would be silly.:p
 
Slightly underwhelmed by the potential signing but Perisic is being criminally underrated. Unlike most of the drama queens on here I have actually been watching him on and off since he played for Club Brugge. He seemed a decent prospect back then and although he hasn't become as good as I thought he would, he is still a very useful player.

He is a tall, strong and suprisingly quick winger who works hard for the team rather than going for glory. I can see why Mourinho would like him. He is experienced and completely different to what we have.

My main issue with the potential signing is the price being quoted. £20m plus add-ons and I would be reasonably happy with him.
 
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.

Great idea, lets ship out our best source of goals beside Zlatan all because we want someone that can run.
 
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.

Ability to make attacking runs in space, stretch the defense laterally and Longitudinally, Work rate, Pace, Ability to get in behind the defenses, Contribution in defense, An attacking Wingback option for system fluidity.

Brings the ability to Play direct and Counter attacking in Possession with Deep defenses Just like sir alex's Way. At the moment inside cutting wingers force the defenses to defend deep and narrow also which is anideal defensive organization but streching it laterally will earn more space in the box and ultimately time. We also can be good In strikers position with new additions and Putting martial as a striker, he is good inside the box.

I agree with you on mane but not sane, but the buck has passed now. Should have got him last summer along with MKH, And its Mourinho's and Woodward's fault.

But the price worries me overall for this deal.
