Manager tempted to sell player to Manchester United – Hopes to build relationship for future
Don't think there is anything in this story but he would still be my choice out of him & Telles. Personally I would be happy with either of them but if we aren't careful and wait til after Sancho then they could both be off the table

Your enthusiasm suggests I've got a hit on my hands.
Don't buy any Madrid players. They seem to insert buy-back clause in every young player they sell or seems to make their eventual sale for a loan move very difficult.
From the likes of Morata, Ceballos, Hakimi, they get a loan move to their desired club but seems to move/sell eventually to a club which isn't the first choice for the player.
So, stay clear if Real Madrid is insistent on a buy-back clause and not a right of first-refusal.

United would never buy him with a buy-back clause.
The point is the managers do not always get who they want, even reasonable targets. Surely you see that? When they don’t get who they want, sometimes the hierarchy offer them someone else. Surely you see that? Sometimes a manager will be left with little choice but to accept who he is offered otherwise end up with no signings at all. Surely you see that?
Fred is a good player. You can argue about whether he’s worth £50m but he definitely improved the squad so you can’t blame the manager for not saying no when the alternative is to get nobody at all. Surely you see that? But, hey, maybe you don’t.
Perisic for 55m, Sergio Ramos, Neymar & Thomas Muller were the targets that United failed to give to their managers which none of them are reachable & realistic. Those are not reasonable targets! Stop making excuse by calling them "reasonable targets''.
Nothing Ed can do if manager is asking someone like Ramos to leave Real or Inter set a ridiculous transfer fees on the player like Perisic. The market doesn't open to everybody which is why they are given multiple list for alternative and it's part of the manager's job to choose the right one or wait until the market is open again for the player.
Who's blaming Mourinho or calling Fred isn't good player? Stop making a claim to pretend that I said the opposite which I never say it. You are the one who made statement that he's just an extra body signing which I am against it.You can turn it around and say - they will always have players we will be interested in as well
No, no I love it mate. It’s just...
Whats your guys thoughts on this happening to United?
100% not happening.
We need another left footed LB to compete with Shaw but I'm not sure this is the guy.
Would be an odd deal for Madrid to do, if they really wanted Eriksen they could of had him.
Madrid just trying to drum up a sale. Looks like they’re having to drop a level now.
No offence.
Anonymous article claiming Madrid will allow us to take Reguilón on our terms (no buy back) so they can build a relationship with us. Has to be the most suspicious thing I've read this week!
Starting to sound very much like Ole is happy to just have Williams as backup LB rather than try and sign cover.
I really hoped we would get Telles if this guy didn't happen but looks like that isn't happening either which is gutting and leaves us well short in that position.

No chance.
Fuming we are just going to have Williams as LB cover rather than sign someone
Very disappointing if we do that. With Shaw's injury issues we definitely need cover/competition. With AWB better defensively than attacking wise it would have made sense to get a good attacking LB.
I think you’re barking up the wrong tree here. I am saying when the preferred targets cannot be got sometimes Ed and his boys are offering other ones. If the choice is between these and nobody, if they improve the squad then the manager may have little choice but to agree.Perisic for 55m, Sergio Ramos, Neymar & Thomas Muller were the targets that United failed to give to their managers which none of them are reachable & realistic. Those are not reasonable targets! Stop making excuse by calling them "reasonable targets''.

With regard to Reguilon, I have no idea if we’re after this guy or not but he doesn’t fit Ole’s blueprint. That’s why I said it could only be the money men pursuing what they consider to be a marquee signing - from the mighty Real, no less.
I would add that I wouldn’t dream of defending our last three managers, their records speak for themselves. You can bash them as much as you like for all I care. But I do think recruitment has been an absolute shambles and the common link there is Ed and friends.
He isn't considered to fit Ole's blueprint because of this buyback clause rumour which is still yet to be confirmed by our top sources
As it stands right now, Reguilon would be cover for Shaw. I wouldn’t lost that much sleep over a buyback clause for the left fullback, provided we can work out conditions such as the minimum of years before the clause can be activated and the transfer fee itself. If we really want to punk Madrid around we could insist on a sell back clause (not sure the term exists) should Reguilon prove to be the next Rojo.
Yeah should just get him before Spurs beat us to him and he inevitably sets up a goal against us again
They just bought Kolarov and have Young also, absolutely not true.
Oh yes, well I stand to be corrected on that of course. And pretty much anything I post.
Not bad cover is it? The issue for me is Shaw as the starting left back.
Feels like they bring in about 10 players every transfer window
I'm in two minds honestly.
On one hand, Sergio Reguillon looks pretty good. Would improve our attack tremendously and give us a fullback that can cause damage with his delivery.
On the other, I like Williams and feel he will get better and better. Buying someone like Sergio might stunt his growth and reduce his playing time.
If we switch him to right back then that means Dalot is done. I feel both lads are young and still have the potential to improve tremendously. They just need time and in Dalot's case to avoid injuries.
Hopefully Brandon and Diogo will surprise us this year. I'd also imagine the rest of our transfer budget will be used on Sancho, if it happens. Which for me will improve our team in a position of need much more than a left back.
He just doesn't fill me with any confidence playing at LB when he is right footed
You are forgetting where the argument started here. What about you go read your own original post that started the argument and also my first post that you replied:
Manager takes every responsibility for every signings. If the no 1 target is unreachable then go to next one in the list which is common. Market never open for every player that's why it's manager job to also select the best alternative when he was given the list.
To say that our manager is being forced to sign player for the first team is absolutely non-sense. Our manager has the final say in every of transfer, and if we end up signing this guy is because the manager wants him not because Ed was forcing him to buy that nobody wants.
I think all the journalists are unanimous on this one.
Reguilon has been offered to United but United themselves have shown very little interest.
I wouldn't mind if we could get him on loan. Provides us cover over a season with lower revenues.

It's fine.
It's not like I took 3 days off work to painstakingly figure out words that rhyme with twitch, confirm the pronunciation of Reguilon and blend it all together into what my mum has referred to as "poetry".
I'm over it.
Could be, Kolarov is 34, Young is 35 and Reguilon is 23. Personally don't see it myself but I certainly wouldn't write it off due to them having 2 ageing players on their books.Young is only a short term contract as well, didn't he initially sign for a 6 month contract with option for another yr.
Yes you can read, give yourself a biscuit.
I think you are making a total meal of this. Let me put it another way, I think Ed buys players nobody wants unless the alternative is to buy no players at all. There.
If that sounds harsh, boo hoo, I’m sure he can take it.
That's so disappointing if that Forbes article is true.
Yeah certainly is disappointing to say the least
Oh yes, and one more thing, who says our targets are unattainable? Ed? Look at how Chelsea do business, wambam thank you ma’am. No messing. Mou never had any problem getting top, top players with Roman.
And No I’m not defending Mou, I’m having a pop at Ed.
Was Maguire really unattainable? No, we bought him later when Ed pulled his socks up.
Why is this thread so active?
we were offered him, we didn’t want him. End of story. If we wanted him, he’d have signed by now.
