We have the least effective attack that we've had in decades; signing a player who is 'solid' wont change that. We need a lot more than that.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

They failed at Chelsea and didn't help there. Is that what you want from Perišić at United? Cause, due to his age, he can hardly be sold if he fails, you know?
The caf muppets lost their collective shit when we signed Valencia because he wasn't of the desired level and he worked out pretty well.
You act like nobody has ever bought a 29 year old before.
Obviously I wouldn't want Perisic to fail if he signs for us, but all those wingers are talented and for all the scouting in the world the only way to see if these players will gel in the team the way you hope they might is to sign them and see.
I think we can both agree that if he signs he should and most likely will get the fan's full backing.
Signing him will resign us to playing 4-2-3-1, he doesn't score or create nearly enough to play in a front 3 with a midfield of Fabinho/Herrera/Pogba, there's just not enough goals in that line-up.
Of course, I even trust it to be a good addition to the team, more as a necessary squad player than anything else. It just that I don't buy on Mourinho's dead certain judgment on wingers, despite his good transfer season last summer.
We are all familiar with Mourinho and nobody knows that at all.
Yes I'm sure we're willing to spend £40m for a backup winger to Rashford.
Yes. Exactly what i saw in most of the clips. His crossing is average and the cluttered boxes in epl won't help much.
He spent 23 million on Cuadrado at Chelsea
Any first half impressions from Cro - Isl?
Apparantley we have upped the bid to €50m.
Nothing -nothing. Literally.
Croatian players are already on vacation i see
He's playing?
The whole team is playing shite. Personally I blame our clueless coach.
He's playing on the right, Mandžukić on the left.
Nah i see a 4141.
Wy have they put a left winger on the right?
Cause Čačić, our coach, thinks he's Allegri.
Mandžukić it seems must play so he has put him there cause Kalinić is better as a CF.
Haha, yeah, they're called kvačice.
Everything is strange with our team. We're pissing yet another good generation down the drain cause we gave it to a clueless manager. I expect him to make a sub around 85th minute. He has to think about it for 30 minutes first.
It's pretty much the same thing, the point being we are going to havew to use a #10/AM if we bring this guy in, we'll need that extra bit of creativity and gopal threat.
Yes, we gave formula 1 team with players from real, barca, juve, inter to third rate manager.Haha, yeah, they're called kvačice.

It is crime against football
And then when we don't go through the group stages or lose in the last 16 to all people will be like what happened...
Its not pretty much same thing , A 4141 or 451 gives more control and ball retention than a 4231 .
If morata reports Are true then he's a creative striker who can create as well, While Pogba and mata or Mkh too can be played together as 2 creative attacking midfeilders and another winger on the right, While if need more control then herrera and Pogba can be Paired together ahead of a DLP or DM to Press high and have more control. While Wingers and Full backs provide width.
Also thats why i like the idea of getting another wide creative option like maharez along with perisic.
I'm pretty sure Rashford is a starter from now on, although I see him playing more upfront accompanied by another striker.
If that's the case then our attack will be every bit as poor as it was last season.
Van Gaal's United was better viewing than Iceland - Croatia. Fecking hell.
I still call BS on our purported interest in this guy.
No way he should make the starting 11 of any of the top teams and we need reinforcement in so many areas that we cant be spending such on squad players.
I suspect this is all advertising by Inter to try and drive up his value cos there is no reason to meet the demands of a team who need to raise 30m by June 30.

Think like this, do you want him or… Di Maria?
Still can't understand going after Perisic when Douglas Costa is available. Costa is far superior imo and frankly I'd say he's a much better crosser than Perisic which is most people's argument for getting him, ie. the traditional winger. Even though I have my doubts about Morata, he is still young and can improve his goal numbers. Perisic is at his peak, and his peak is simply 'good'. Even without concentrating on the ridiculous price demands, I'm still not convinced he will improve us enough.
I wouldn't want Di Maria, him and his wife couldn't get out of here any faster and showed as much with his performances in the 2nd half of his single season here. Would rather have a lesser, happy player who does the exact job Mourinho wants.
With all the reaction in here about him, I'm guessing he didn't have a great game?
Our Willian I guess?
Neither
Not a 40-50m euro player though, surely
The whole team didn't have a great game, to put it mildly.
It'll be nice to have a Serbian playing for United again
Maybe, the point is nobody knows Mourinhos intention right now. Only that we are about to pay a significant fee for a position that he believes needs addressing.
Isn't he Yugoslavian?
Have you listen to how Mourinho talks about Rashford, his work ethic and all? My guess we're pay two significant fees for positions, or better, players whose substitution needs serious addressing, Zlatan and Rooney.
