Probably but it's about MU "encouraging offers" so you'd think irrespective of the actual bids and interest of other clubs ?Think he's not on list now Saudis walked away

They probably reckon that a 75% Casemiro could do the job we need next season in a double pivot and with the proper partner / competing teammate (Ugarte ?) and better than anyone we could afford.
There are zero rumors and zero sales so far except Greenwood. Looks like even Ineos is struggling to sell our deadwood. I truly hope we see some outgoings soon but I would not be surprised if we keep most of these once more
But there are many clubs in the Saudi league, it’s not like all of those walked away…Think he's not on list now Saudis walked away
And 9 more need to go, that’s an open heart surgery. Bissaka, 1 of Maguire or Lindelof, Eriksen, Casemiro, McTominay, Hannibal, Sancho, Antony, Pellistri - that’s 9 players to be disposed of (and the list doesn’t even include Rashford).You do realise that 9 players have now left the club this summer already?
Unfortunately, Rashford isn't going anywhere as PSG are going for Desire Doue.And 9 more need to go, that’s an open heart surgery.

I don't think Casemiro wants to go to Saudi Arabia, whatever the team.But there are many clubs in the Saudi league, it’s not like all of those walked away…
Antony is staying - there is no club in the world that would buy him at the moment, the wages & the fee we paid make him unsellable.And 9 more need to go, that’s an open heart surgery.

With the exception of Greenwood, for which player did we get a decent fee? I am talking about players still being under contract obviously as these are the tricky ones to get rid ofYou do realise that 9 players have now left the club this summer already?
That's the way the club has operated by and large for the last 11 years, it may take a couple seasons to fix that.Clubs want a fortune from us to buy players from them, but when it comes to buying players from us they are broke..

I think we've only sold Dan James (£15m to £25m) for a profit in that time.
We've not being the best negotiators so bargains are thin on the ground, Garnacho (£400k) and Bruno (£47m) are the only players that we have parted cash for that appear to have been good investments.
Shaw has been a good investment, even with his injury problems. He's been let down in his time at United with a lack of quality around him though.That's the way the club has operated by and large for the last 11 years, it may take a couple seasons to fix that.

I did think about Shaw when posting and wouldn't argue against his inclusion in the good investment bracket.Shaw has been a good investment, even with his injury problems. He's been let down in his time at United with a lack of quality around him though.
We made a rod for our own back with him. Maybe loan him back to Ajax or another club in the hope he can improve and then see if we can sell.Antony is staying - there is no club in the world that would buy him at the moment, the wages & the fee we paid make him unsellable.
I think if that is how the deal is structured then we'll extend his contract for a season to make it possible.He's out of contract next summer, how could there be an obligation to buy at the end of the loan? Of all midfielders to get rid of, why on earth would be pick Eriksen??
I have a feeling that Antony will leave on loan & Sancho also will either be sold or loaned and we'll sign Xavi Simons from PSG on an initial loan with an option or obligation to buy.Antony is staying - there is no club in the world that would buy him at the moment, the wages & the fee we paid make him unsellable.

Still struggling to move on players I see.

Exactly. That will also be why they want Ajax to buy Eriksen, unless they are willing to take on all his wages, which I doubt. Unfortunately we do not have clubs who are doing business with us like the Everton, Villa, Chelsea triangle.Not surprising when you see the stupid wages that these players are on, INEOS must have been fuming after looking at the figures thinking how on earth do we sell these players
I think people also underestimate how hard it is to get rid of 'deadwood'. City are still stuck with Philips, Chelsea are still trying to offload Lukaku. Teams aren't going to buy players that aren't seen as being a good investment, for one reason or another.We literally don’t have many players you would categorise as deadwood anymore. Some of you want half our first team squad sold.
We have to hope the LB injury situation improves this season, if yes it is not a problem position. RB have to hope Dalot can stay in there for the attacking intent, if yes then we are fine there. We have to hope we can actually get somebody to play with Casemiro or he remember to be a footballer. Problem there is if we cannot shift somebody to then sign that player. We are relying on Mount being fit to give Bruno a break. That Antony can produce something, that Rashford decides to turn up this season. That if we cannot get someone to buy Sancho he does not drift back into his lazy petulant ways. Also need Hojlund and Zirkzee to click. There are a lot of what ifs with this team.We literally don’t have many players you would categorise as deadwood anymore. Some of you want half our first team squad sold.
Once again our deadwood will carry us down it seems.
Yep, but I hope people didn't expect this to be a quick fixAs usual things have ground to a halt in regard to outgoings. Hardly surprising when our deadwood are on wages that far exceeds their ability. It will take years to rectify the mess Woodward and co have put us in.
Yep. We have a squad that performs like a bottom half side but on champions league level wages. Hardly a surprise nobody wants to buy our castoffs, or that they don't want to leave the cushy job they've got.A lot of our fans spend 50% of their time absolutely slating players in the squad, to the extent they become running jokes, then the other 50% of their time wondering why nobody wants to buy the same players.
