Do we really want a player who prefers somewhere else?

While United is not his club of choice, these type of bids show United's progress in the market. A lot to gain if he turns out to be a good player and nothing to lose if he rejects United. Won't know until we try to bid.
Everton would see United are serious about moving away. Last decade's United would be in Everton's office with a cheque book.
We most probably will not get Yoro or Branthwaith but it signals a difference in how United is conducting transfers.
Hopefully we should see results in a couple of seasons where the United tax isn't applied.
Let's see how this works out.

Agree, now we actually have competent people there...
Didn't matter with de Jong.
Believe muppets!
De Ligt and Yoro!
De Ligt and Yoro!
Different people in charge obviously.
If we was challenging for the title or had just won it last season i could see him picking us over madrid and then moving there in a few years but can’t see why he would choose us over madrid when we have a ridiculed manager aswell and they have one of the greatest of all time
This is pretty much always true, but I wonder if in this case it's more us putting in the highest bid to show how keen we are on the lad and maybe turn his head. Would be class though if all this paper talk was rubbish and he was also just as keen to come to us.
Wouldn’t be the first time we have done that!
Doesn't really matter, if the player isn't willing to sign.
Another player overlooked by the NT manager. Do not want.
Well it does matter.
We finished 8th, there's barely anyone in our own team never mind others who wouldn't prefer to be elsewhere.
We just need professionals who will give it their all, who cares if we're their number one destination.
This guy is miles better than Branthwaite, get it done.
I think this is overblown. There's nothing wrong with a preference, we're no where near the level of Madrid and they have a core of the national team there. If they don't want to spend more than 20m on him, I'm sure he won't feel super warm to them. I'm sure he'll be super happy to be part of a big club in either option.
Never like buying super young defenders for this kind of money.
We must have talked to him before putting in such huge bid. It doesn’t make any sense as the reports are that he is hell bent on signing for Real Madrid
He has the moustache of a sex offender, if that offers any sort of clarity?
Yes. Most players that move to United currently, likely would have moved elsewhere if given the chance to pick (especially so if the other option is Real Madrid). It’s OK, and there’s nothing inherently wrong with that - United needs to build itself back up - so long as the player as a professional attitude, it is fine.
You can’t possibly think that every player performing at City, for example. Really wanted to go/loves it there.
When's the last time we did? Jones?
I think they’ll up their bid a bit OR just say “wait a year, join us on a free” a la Mbappe
Can we get Evra and Cantona on the phone with him?
Tell him that we will sell him to RM after 2 years.
I respect that the club are trying to go toe to toe with Madrid for this transfer even if the player ultimately rejects us. Shows that INEOS do have ambition and appreciate the club should be at the big boys table competing for all the best young players in the world.

He can do a 3, 4 years with us and then go to Madrid.
Yeah the only way this goes through is if we give him a release clause (valid only for RM). Maybe becomes active after 3 years here.
This would be infinitely better than paying 50+ for Branthwaite. Why overpay for the next Maguire when we can get the next Varane? If we see Licha as the foundation for our defense, then we should be looking to pair him with a complimentary player like Yoro that has good recovery pace and is more measured similar to a Varane.
I’m not worried about his love for Madrid at all. If he wants to leave in a few years, they can have him…for 80-100 mil.

Real will offer €20m and sign him. Kids these days don't want the challenge unfortunately. Sigh.
Not to what we bid though and why would Lille accept less than that now? Mbappe situation is slightly different, he would never be dropped for PSG, but Lille would have zero incentive to play Yoro if he wanted to do that.
What would Varane say to Yoro?
About the choice of going to Madrid or United....

Camavinga waited for Madrid even when it looked like they weren't that keen on him either. If Madrid want Yoro that's where he will go. Hope I'm proven wrong but this sounds like the only pointless offer so far under INEOS.
If Yoro ensures Lille lose out on €50m by choosing to go to Real Madrid for free next year, then I suspect they won't be too happy about it and may even bench him for the entire season.
I’d rather this guy with Branthwaite than De Ligt to be honest buts it’s De Ligt definitely with either one of the other 2
That's when we bust out the big guns: Silvestre and Bellion.
That was also different, as Real still paid 30m euros for Camavinga. Yoro's contract expires next summer.
Barthez and Blanc as well .
Would be a great get, would doubt he comes though.
