Why is this thread always near the top?
No stories have come out about him in weeks and he’s not a big enough name to keep discussing without fuel
I feel your pain. Those posters asking why threads are getting bumped are the worstI would imagine it is because we have shown no inclination to pursue any other striker options since announcing we were not going to get jerked around over Kane so this is the only game in town. It also may be connected to posters asking what is going on and why is the thread getting bumped.
*Taps nose*There will be money coming in soon.
August will be a busy month. Until then, enjoy the sunshine.There will be money coming in soon.

I think it will be Mount, GK and ST personally. Any freebies won't count towards that 3Yeah does feel we will be quiet until then apart from Mount, Onana and maybe Rabiot

I'm hoping we can get Mount, Onana and Hojlund done before that. Then a lot will depend on how the takeover process develops.Yeah does feel we will be quiet until then apart from Mount, Onana and maybe Rabiot

I'm hoping a new owner is in place by the start of August. And then we can possibly sign another two players on top of the three I've already mentioned. I think another striker and a midfielder who is good in the build up phase will be sought.
We live in hope regarding the Glazers selling the club soon.
Cristiano Ronaldo also proved he was a bottler in 2008 UCL final by being our only player to miss in the shootout. Had a poor career after that bottle job .Muani missed his World Cup hero moment right at the last minute of the Final. He proved he was a bottler on big stages.

I like Rabiot and he can definitely be a net positive for us in a deeper midfield position. But I'm hoping we make a move for a younger midfielder alongside him if possible. I'd like to see us take a chance on a young hot prospect for the deeper midfield role.Wish that other striker could be Kane but obviously can't afford that,so gonna be more realistic and say Taremi/Dembele. Are you including free agents such as Rabiot or not good enough in build up phase

Mason Mount is someone that is good in the middle and final third. And we also need a midfielder who is good from the deeper to the middle third.
I don't think he did a lot wrong, it was an amazing save
I'd like to see us take a chance on the young player at Boca Juniors, Alan Varela. He seems to have every pass in the book in a deeper lying midfield position and wouldn't cost a lot either from what's been reported.Which younger midfielder would you like to see for that deeper role then,think it's most likely this sort of player will be targeted in next window. Hopefully in January IF new owners are in place

Rabiot on a free along with Varela would be good to see imo. We can also rest Casemiro if and when necessary and go with either a double or single pivot with the likes of Rabiot and Varela.
Rabiot is definitely not a first phase midfielder and would not be a good fit to progress build-up from defence to midfield and forwards.I like Rabiot and he can definitely be a net positive for us in a deeper midfield position.

Rabiot was definitely a first phase player at PSG.Rabiot is definitely not a first phase midfielder and would not be a good fit to progress build-up from defence to midfield and forwards.
He is a dynamic 8 who presses and is great positionally in the opposition half.
Maybe that young guy from Antwerp?I like Rabiot and he can definitely be a net positive for us in a deeper midfield position. But I'm hoping we make a move for a younger midfielder alongside him if possible. I'd like to see us take a chance on a young hot prospect for the deeper midfield role.

Arthur Vermeeren looks very promising but he's still very young and likely a few years away from being a regular in the United midfield. But he's definitely someone i'd like to see us sign and develop if possible.Maybe that young guy from Antwerp?
I disagree. Rabiot played next to Veratti, who was the build-up player.Rabiot was definitely a first phase player at PSG.
I suspect that next season we intend to do with Lisandro Martinez what Guardiola did with Stones and have Shaw playing more as that LCB alongside Varane and Wan Bissaka. Martinez and Casemiro at the base of the midfield will have the necessary mic of aggression, defensive nous and ball recycling whilst Shaw, Varane and Wan Bissaka will provide tge physicality to stop counter attacks. Mount and Bruno are perfect for counter pressing which ETH loves.I like Rabiot and he can definitely be a net positive for us in a deeper midfield position.

Rabiot was utilised as the pivot by Emery in some games with both Veratti and Draxler as interiors. I watched a lot of these games live and one game against Monaco in November 2017 is a clear example of Rabiot being utilised as the pivot with Draxler and Veratti the interiors in a 433.I disagree. Rabiot played next to Veratti, who was the build-up player.
Looks like a very well balanced player with good technique and composure.Arthur Vermeeren looks very promising but he's still very young and likely a few years away from being a regular in the United midfield. But he's definitely someone i'd like to see us sign and develop if possible.
Fans are desperate. The only deal that’s actually moving along for us is Mount.Why is this thread always near the top?

Wasn’t that just to discuss the possibility of a move?and Onana

Might be priced out of a move though unfortunately because it basically says we expect a world class finished article for the 50-60 mill we’d have to spend on Hojlund, so remains to be seen whether we take the plunge
What is going on with the price thing. Italy media reporting about max of 60m euro even with add ons. But English media keep upping the price everyday from 40, 50, 60, 70, and now 80. They say Atalanta is asking 80m but then the media from te region saying on 60m top with add ons. Is United is that much hated in the UK that everyone trying to make United pay more and more.

You really shouldn't take what the media say seriously about the 'board'. What the words in the tweet are insinuating are that the likes of Richard Arnold and Cliff Baty etc are convinced about the players potential. But in reality what Romano meant was the heads of recruitment are convinced about the players potential.What is our board doing scouting players or identifying their potential on the pitch? Do we not have the scouts and Manager for that?
They really need to leave the football with the football people. I won’t question how knowledgeable they are but boundaries and job description et..
