Irresponsible signing if true. Nobody at the club has pointed out our dire history with injury prone players?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) get the depressing job of reviewing United's 3-0 loss at Old Trafford to Liverpool. They discuss what went wrong, Casemiro's day to forget, and the pressure now on Erik Ten Hag. They also take some time to give McTominay a proper farewell, and give their overall thoughts on the Summer Transfer Window.

Wasn't Hakimi the genius who, when his wife tried to divorce him and take half his money, she didn't get a penny because all of his income from football went to his mum's account?
That was a fake story, actually.
It’s all still a coincidence *insert Wenger smiley*
Yeah surely the club can see issues there, mind you won't be starter so maybe that's another reason we aren't targeting Vanderson

According to transfermarkt, since 20/21 season he has had 16 injuries, missed 331 days and 73 games.
He’s a walking bandage
He needs a damn ambulance besides him
Riccardo Calafiori has had 13 in the same time, missed 235 days and 71 games but that didnt stop Arsenal from buying him.
Congrats, the most important thing is that you're right.
On ability alone he is quite good but too injured and even with low~ish fee of €20m it's still not a good option, we got unlucky with Malacia knee issues but at least his injury record was fine prior to signing him, we know Mazraoui's injury record isnt good so we should avoid him.
I'd rather we get a young RB, someone between 20-23, to provide cover and competition to Dalot.

The Mummy.That doesn’t make it right for us to sign an injury prone player at fullback where our 2 left backs missed the whole of last season
Good to see the ETH conspiracy is out in force.
Eh he doesn't help the accusations with shite transfer links like this.
Who’s responsible for the links? Doubt anyone at the club is.
Huh? We're clearly in for him? It doesn't look like an empty rumour to me, unfortunately.
Injury prone is an over-statement and he will only be a backup for Dalot anywzy so the risk of injury is minimal.
He needs to be available when others are injured and you can get injured in training as easily as a game. His injury record says prone
He'll still have to train, which is a place players get injured all the time.
I really hope not. Seems far too risky.
What qualification do you guys have in order to assess someone’s injury-proneness? Do you just read injury listings on transfermarkt, or do you have medical degrees? Because I know we have professional medics and physios with lots of experience assessing football injuries, and the lista on transfermarkt I’m sure is the uttermost basic stuff for them.
Are
They gone say - no, he’s no more i jury prone rhan the next man, and you’re gonna say ‘what do you know, I’ve red transfermarkt and I say he’s i jury prone.
We should be asking questions about why he picked up so many injuries last season. I would then expect us to walk away if we don't like the answers
His record doesnt say prone, he has had injuries but there are gaps of 6 or 7 months between a few of them so as I said injury prone is an over-statement.
It's called inductive reasoning. I have no qualifications as an astronomer, but I know that the sun will probably come up tomorrow morning because it has done so for a number of consecutive mornings.
It is perfectly fair and reasonable to see a danger in signing a player who has missed 2-6 months of every season for the last half a decade.
Mazraoui is a good player, and the whole reason that he'll cost so little is that the people with access to more than just lists know that he is a player with frequent injury concerns. They may even feel the lower price is worth the risk. And others may disagree with that assessment in light of our problems in similar circumstances and off the back of last season. No medical degree is required to have an opinion based on available facts.
If Dalot continue the trajectory he has been on since the Ragnick spell, he'll be our rb for the long term. A cheap back up who can also cover left back would do for now.
In the long run (probably next summer) the club would need to go get a proper left back, so that means selling either Shaw or Malacia.

Swap Malacia for Kadioglu
Malacia has become a myth at this point. Who would sign a LB whose been out for an injury for an entire year?
Release him then
You know that would mean paying him a lump sum of £7-8m during a summer we have no money, right?
It would also be a shit thing to do as a club.
I feel for the guy but we need someone who can stay fit so should go all in for Kadioglu
He seems to be the redcafe dream signing this window but I don't think he's high on the club list if he is at all.
I agree but let's look after him until he gets on the mend, duty of care and all that. He's never looked like a United player tbh
Yeah probably because Mourinho has told him he's a key part of his plans unfortunately
I doubt that's the reason, if United wants a player playing in the Turkish league they'll get him.
You're right in the sense that if we go on and buy him, Ineos and the medical department will probably be confident they can fix him...but just on the information available on this issue, he does seem a bit injury prone.
You only have to look at his tweets injury record compared to say Dumfries or Vanderson. What’s the point buying someone who will probably not be available half the time due to injuries
Exactly it’s common sense and is all there in his injury records to see
