- Start date

Fecking mes que un cnuts, they pay fecking wanks millions but when we try to beat them to one player by paying more than them, it's Messi or money
God I really hope we get De Ligt.
The first indication that we are close to signing him will come from Barca with their propaganda machines spewing out bullshite like he's not good enough or something like that

So basically its Pep or money right!!!
Oops i mean Messi or Money
Rewind 10-15 years and there's no way we don't sign this player! Today I'm just not convinced! The sort of signing that will get us back on track!
Barca visit deLigt parents and realise his dad is fat.....no deal
I think Barca's pull isn't what it was, even if it's still much more than us. Messi is older, they're CL pedigree has gone from being Gods to just one of the better teams, they're cooking their books (for sure) and he's a pale lad which means he'll have to shell out a load on sunscreen if he's living on the Med. It's all coming together for Woodward's biggest blockbuster deal yet.
I understand the pessimism, but I don’t understand what your recommended action would be. Stop buying talented players? Stop buying the wrong players? Easier said than done. Even SAF had his duds, but when he wanted a player, he pulled out all the stops and “overpaid” and ended up with the likes of Rooney, Ronaldo, Rio, etc.
I guess I’d rather try and fail than not try at all. Zlatan worked out while he was here, Herrera, Mata IMHO.
I will jizz my pants if this happens. I don't think it will as I don't jizz my pants very often but I would make a massive exception for this.
It’s the wages we’ve offered... Apparently more than the £250k per week that was originally reported.
At those wages, De Ligt would be the 3rd highest wage earner in the squad behind Messi and Suarez, but ahead of Pique, Busquets, Coutinho and Dembele. Plus income taxes are much higher in Spain.... a lot of unhappy players on that squad if a 19 yr old comes in and makes that kind of scratch.
Can someone photoshop De Ligt winning the PL trophy with us? 
This transfer would remind me of the good old days when we bought Rooney. He is already world class at his age.
But i cant get excited about a Sport article. Need a reliable English/Dutch journo or Di Marzio on it, otherwise it feels like he waits for Barca to up their offer.

If someone posts a picture of Ed looking all serious and focused, I might actually believe it's on.

What, you can’t wait another 12 months to see the real thing?

It may go viral, he'll see it and want to join us then!
People make a big deal of the CL -- and it is! But let's not forget at Man United you have the chance to win the English Premier League! Massive trophy in world football terms.
The eyes have it.

Muppeteers! We ride again!
Haha onwards fellow muppeteers
Now De Ligt's as good as done, we can turn our attention to MBappe
We need to do what we can and spunk 9 figures on this lad. He could easily slot into the side for 15 years and his fee at this point would be a distant memory.
Let's not kid ourselves. Even if we signed him he'd probably serve one contract term before moving on to Spain.
Don't do it to yourselves lads.
You probably said that early on in the Pogba and Sanchez sagas.
All we need now is Di Marzio to get this party started.
I cant see why he wouldn't Sign for United .
He can come here and be part of the reemergence of a super power of English football, he will become a fan favourite while doing his reputation no harm and all the while getting paid Trucks full of cash . He would be an instant starter and if he doesn't like it he can move to Spain in 2 years . Big money made .
Add to that Raoila the Fat Basterd will be looking for the most money he can get his sweaty cocktail little sausage fingers on .
No champions league next year but I reckon he could get over that .
Who knows hopefully .

As fecking phenomenal a signing as this would be, it would take a significant chunk of our budget. While our defence is shite, our attack is shite too and that's probably a more pressing concern.
Doesn't Sport tend to make stuff up?
Details - minor details.
Actually, the transfer fee isn't much of a concern here. He's expected to go for like 60-70 million euros, Ajax aren't making this hard for anyone. It's a matter of who will De Ligt choose, because nearly every European elite club would love to sign him.
Nah, in defence we have smalling jones and young. We need defenders
They're happy with that amount despite most likely being aware they are getting fleeced?
Some posters too, sadly.
I think it's something about them not wanting to stand in the way of the player and supporting his inevitable move. It's maybe a bit weird but iirc, Ajax are pretty rich.
And it really doesn’t matter. This kid is a generational talent. Do what it takes.
