Goncalo Guedes. We need at least one player who can play on his natural side.
Living in fear he’s just going to go shopping at Chelsea again and bring in William.
I do think he is a solid decent player but very uninspiring. Last 2 years almost half his league apeerances have been as a sub. He’s a no frills hard working winger. Perfect Jose player.Why would you be fearful of bringing in Willian? He is fantastic. I'd love him here. If there is any chance of bringing hi min , we should do all we can. We are desperate for a RW and there are hardly any about that are available.
He’s usually the player that transmissions from defence to attack, he plays the pass before the assist etc.For how fantastic Willian is he barely contributes any goals or assists. Sometimes even less than Martial.

Probably not, but his speed on the counter will be a massive improvement on what we have right now. He’s much better than all our current players on the right wing also.Wont do us a lot of good I would think. I mean i could see us signing him but it wont be a signing to transform us at all.

The only worry is how long will he last? Once his explosive style starts to wain he will become pretty one dimensional

He’s not what we need.
We need a left footed player for the right. I like Bailey
We needed a RW when we signed Sanchez, but he is not allowed to operate on the RW. It would have made more sense to pay more money to get Mahrez instead.
Yep. We've needed a RW since around the time we signed Mata. Its ridiculous how long we've operated without one for.
Personally I don’t like 2 inside forwards at once, especially if your fullbacks can’t make use of the width.He’s not what we need.

Then the problem becomes one of balance or lack of. We have no natural left footed wide players but an awful lot of right footed onesWe need a right footed winger for the right, imo. An out and out winger who will hog the touchline, or else we will just end up in the exact same state as when we play Mata out there.
Mourinho needs another 30 year old. But it has nothing to do with his ability to coach or work with young players. Must be Martial's attitude.

Kluivert is the left winger there. David Neres is the RW.So few quality RW out there. We keep circling around Bailey, Kluivert, Willian and Malcom.
No interest in Pulisic?
Has had a difficult season and Mourinho is probably not the best manager for him. I'd love us to sign him, but we need another manager then. As long as we have Mourinho players like Douglas Costa or Willian make more sense.
I'd like us to take a closer look at Villareal's Samu Castillejo. Sure he'd be a risk, but this a player that has shown constant, gradual improvement over the seasons. His dribbling skills are solid, and his pace, impressive. He makes intelligent runs and is also quite adept at getting out of cramped areas. Defensively, he is quite comfortable at pressing, tracking back and getting into tackles (with results on the latter being very mixed though, from Maldini-esque to Scholes-ish). He's left-footed with a decent right foot as well. He's been mostly deployed as a central midfielder, and as right winger this season which shows notable versatility.
I'd see him being quite useful for us during counters with his ability to quickly cover a lot of ground, and during phases of the game when a quick repossession of the ball is required. His dribbling skills could be important in breaking down those tight defenses. The only downside to his game is that his passing could be better in the final 3rd, but I guess that comes with the territory of being a midfielder who has a very direct style of playing.
He didnt make any impact at Newcastle did he?How about Florian Thauvin? He has been Marseille's best player this season.

Is that purely down to the age thing? The same issue with Martial?
I kept saying last summer how Pulisic is very talented but still very raw, how he needs time to mature in a less pressurised environment and how a good season for Dortmund is not enough to brand him world class and people in here were ready to take my head off. Ready to throw 150m for him.
When it comes to young players some people always seem to be projecting their hopes and aspirations onto them and not thinking clearly about what they see. Kagawa and Mkhitaryan failed to make a success out of their respective moves here, at more mature ages too, but Pulisic was nailed on to be success at 19. Now the lad has (understandably) had a tough season something that often happens to players that age. Imagine if that was after an expensive move here.
He is not ready for United and not ready for Mourinho. He needs to mature and develop a bit more. He’s couple of years away, the way I see it.
Names that seem to be popping up:
The usual names that we're linked with for the right:
Surprised there's no Ousmane Dembele to United considering he's not had the best of time at Barca & we clearly need a right-sided attacker. Him, Pogba & Martial would be too much of a luxury for us i feel as all 3 frenchmen have questionable attitudes/agents/posse.
- Bale
- Dybala
- Griezmann
The best option imo, is Riyad Mahrez. Epl proven. Lots of ability. Can score & create. Him & Sanchez behind/on either side of Lukaku would finally give the big man the service he needs. Lately, his attitude's been questioned but that's just down to wanting a move to a big club which he deserves like Kante/Drinkwater.
If we're going Brazilian, than either Felipe Anderson or Malcom would work if Chelsea refuse to sell Willian.
