Bizarrely I was talking about that at work today - that and dream team. Peak football related programming.

Deserves it more than pogba or martial though
Yeah I guess. Martial's wages really are mental.
They’ve only signed 200 players so yes room on the broom for one more
Had some interesting scenes
Bargain hunting in the lower leagues again, we've become so much like Liverpool its astonishing.
This is nothing like the Daniel James transfer.
Liverpool got the likes Robertson. Leicester got Maddison. Just because they play lower down doesn’t equate to low quality
Yes, because signing a 16 year old for £30m is of course, best described as a ‘bargain’.
Quite frankly all the PL clubs need to do more work getting players from lower leagues/teams across the continent, because its the only way they can stop haemorrhaging money.
Everyone knows PL clubs have money and PL clubs will bend over any other PL club for any player, as will other big european clubs.
I guess this is not happening? Any more from that reporter who knows a thing or 2 about the championship?
Its probably tough to convince one of the best young English players to join our club in its current state where the fans are chanting for the death of the clubs CEO. How I wish Woodward would just resign and we brought in Edwin Van Der Sar.
Or one that’s been known, even this season, to give starts and prominent squad position to youth with talent like Williams, Greenwood and the continual rise of McT.
I don’t think Woodward is the issue. The fact he’s going to play games but be coached like he’s playing for Solihull Moors might be the issue.
You don't see any improvement in the young players this year? (Lingard not included)
Or Haaland, who has been coached by Ole?
He's done alright with the young players.
feck me that's a stretch. hahah
Unlikely this one would be made up, so the lad probably just turned us down.
He told us Chong and Gomes were ready. Now they are ready to go.
Greenwood is a generation talent. I mean are we going to credit Emre for Martinelli? I don’t think so.
But no he hasn’t showed me anything to say he’s improved players.
Be seriously gutted if we miss out on him. It's clear we're still a great place for young talent, giving them a better platform than many other top clubs.
Jesse "The World's Youngest 27-year-old" Lingard.
Still think we have a good chance to get this done. We are the highest bidders apparently, and if we loan him back then that could get this over the line.
Roy Keane ended his dads career, why would he ever join us.
Why are we trying to buy the butler from Fresh Prince?
What???
Mino Mendes is his agent so it should be easy
Well, he did pick him up when he was 16, and gave him the chance to play.
And he keeps giving young players a chance, so i think it would be a good move for him
A promising young midfielder and a club that currently has one decent midfielder operating due to circumstance. I can't imagine an easier way to get into a premier league starting 11.
He just has to replicate his current form in one of our training sessions in a game where he leaves Matic reeling and he is in.
Oh how my younger self wished being in his position... and Utd comes knocking....

He obviously isn't bothered/worried about us as a club, he's probably more worried with his family if he should move clubs so early in his career when he's currently a first team regular in the Championship. Not to mention their whole family would have to move if he came. I think he'll probably leave the decision to the summer, but we're putting the ground work in, its good to see.
hey, what’s wrong with Solihull Moors! I have a season ticket there and I prefer to watch that football over ours at the moment!
I do hope we end up getting Jude though..... seems to be a real talent!
Wouldnt be that bad looking at current standings.
To be honest one of the lads use to play for them and said there one of the worst footballing sides his played for. So just went with it. Good pitch though.. would love to play on there myself if I still had the legs.Would be nice to get Jude.. the Blues fans have said he can pretty much play anywhere.
He would be stupid to sign for the club in its current state at that age, it's in far to much turmoil, absolutely no stability season to season right now, he'd probably be better off staying where he is for the moment.
Extremely negative take on things.
He plays for Birmingham who are receiving point deductions for their financial situation ffs. We are hardly in that sort of situation.
He can go to City, Liverpool or no ban Chelsea and kill his development then so.
The one thing we do is play the youngsters ffs
Wow, we play youngsters? Who would have guessed. Damn, it's like it's all Manchester United is known for these days, it's certainly not for winning anything or being a well run club, you're deluding yourselves if you're thinking players of Bellingham's age won't be looking at our club and second guessing with the state we are in, owners with zero ambition.
And it's not negative, it's realistic, I don't bury my head in the sand and think we are still the fabled Manchester United that everyone wants to join, the biggest football club in the world, we haven't been this for years and it's only going to get worse if this carries on.

Why would anyone want to sign for the Glazers? Because the facts are that Manchester United is not serious in football matters and is currently being milked to death. Open your eyes guys this club is being milked.
So your solution is not to sign the best young players available. But you're not negative. Right.
why we are a laughing stock.
Is it so difficult for people to get that putting 16 year old kid with pressure of 30m price tag and place him in probably the most scrutinized team in the world who are struggling at the moment, is not exactly desirable for the parents?
