Meh, we're still in this. I'll believe it's over when someone who is reliable leaks something.
Matthijs de Ligt / signs for Juventus, lowering their average age to 56

He looks like a proper talent. Anyway back to De Light to not disturb the thread for the other guys.

That RMC article did more damage than we ever will
RMC is reliable, but not sure they'd know if other clubs (apart from the two mentioned) wouldn't be in the mix.
Not a single reliable paper or journalist has ever said we were in for him. In fact, they've said we aren't. It's absolutely mad that some of ye actually believe we were trying to even sign him based on some reddit wums
Just accept it guys.
Romero and RAC1 aren't reliable?
One player does not maketh a transfer season.
Thinking back, Sanchez to Barcelona and Thiago to Bayern. Life was not worth living apparently.
Move on.

Me too, i rather trust the Reddit ITKs who say things i want to hear.
Not a sarcastic dig at you, i actually am that stupid.....
Seems like people are only reliable when they post negative news... anything positive is automatically BS, or so it seems anyway? If he comes to United, he comes to United, if he doesn't, he doesn't. It's not the end of the world by any means.
No white text?
The guy who said Bobby Martinez was going to manage Barca?
PSG are 12/1 on Skybet for De Ligt, anyone want to get on this?
The guy who reported Barca's interest in bringing Neymar back about a week before others caught on.
Also, Romero said Martinez was Barca's first option to replace Valverde. We'll see how it pans out.
This what has me convinced. Barca and their mouth pieces got very salty a few weeks back about us. Theres been no other type of discussion since. I think a decision has already been made.
Alright when something big he's said happens I'll believe him. Even Barcelona fans don't think he's reliable. He got a lot wrong last year.
Again, I'd love us to sign De Ligt, but there's been very very little to say we're actually interested. Some Raiola foreplay isn't going to get me to believe we're in the running.
Oriol Domenech also said we are interested.
He's not going to sign with us and it doesn't really matter.
In a way, yes. But with us he can still grow and potentially become part of a very successful United. All he can do at PSG is help them win the CL but even then he won't build a legacy like he could at us or Barca.
If he signs with us then fantastic. If not then there are other CB's we could target who not only will improve us but will be considerably cheaper imo. Which in turn would enable to have extra funds for other problem positions.
Reasonable to think that we were interested in him but not him in us. I think there were some reasonably credible journalists confirming the links but I agree that it could all have been speculative nonsense.
No
We keep going. It’s on
Good old confirmation bias. Sadly I only believe negative stories about us at the moment as everything seems to go unfavourably for us. We’re in a seemingly inevitable downward spiral.Me too, i rather trust the Reddit ITKs who say things i want to hear.

Barca or money
More like Messi or more money. It's not like an aging squad and having no clue who the next manager is or how he's gonna play are big draws either, unless you are a big fan of Barca, which we've already established he isn't.
Reddit is going apeshit what happened?
We arent getting MDL or AWB according to them.

Yeah it's crazy down there. It's their own fault in believing the ITKs who had their hopes up. Both deals were going to be extremely difficult to pull off. De Ligt wants to go to Barca, I believe UTD , PSG and the other teams are being used as leverage to get Barca to raise their offer.
AWB is possible, but with the EPL money, none of the premier league teams want to sell their best players for cheap. If we want AWB we can get him, but we would have to over pay by alot. I believe one of the papers had him valued at 70 mil pounds which is ridiculous.
Even going after players like Maguire and Madison is going to be hard.
I know that RMC has been reliable for French stuff in the past, however as I see it everyone is still very much in the race for him until we hear from the man himself which I reckon will be sometime next week.
I think that the French press are genuinely worried about Utd's interest and are trying to spin it to look like we are out in the race and it is down to them and Barcelona. Will also be interesting to see if there is any truth in that senior source at Barca describing us a Chinese club

Cool. Give me some other CB names in that list of yours, please? Someone who would improve us, being hungry, not here for a paycheck only and actually has leadership quality?
No, Barca fans consider him as tier 1 source.
I've posted some names in the relevant thread. I hope you like my recommendations..Cool. Give me some other CB names in that list of yours, please? Someone who would improve us, being hungry, not here for a paycheck only and actually has leadership quality?
The spoofix guy said it's over, MDL is bound to Barcelona and we learned about it today and AWB, we are not in, or something like that.
Tier this ITK that.
The fact that some weirdos created their little alternative reality inside a bubble where they are important people with precious inside information isn't surprising to me.
The fact that outside that bubble there are people resonating all that dross, using their lingo and giving them all this credit is cringeworthy.
Shame on you.

Seems pretty clear to me. MDL isn't going join unproven manager and a struggling team in this "rebuild project".
Woodward's PR team was just spouting horseshit. Never believed it for a second. At least it was fast. We don't want to spend whole summer chasing unattainable target.

I am still hopeful that we have a chance. It might be true that other clubs are in the mix. But we know our offer is superior to Barca's. I am not sure about PSG's though. Juve and Real are out of the reckoning. Bayern need to sell before bringing in another CB.
