Feck it, get him. He seems to want to play for us and I like that in a player. We can do with a goalscorer for sure.

I would prefer willian to perisic. The trail on perisic seems cold anyway
Yes it would improve us quite significantly. Perisic gives us an extra dimension and shifts some of the workload off off Sanchez and Lukaku. Toby makes the other defenders better and is a massive upgrade plus he’s great on the ball.
It’s slightly annoying that you didn’t put a P infront of Pogba or an A infront of Valencia. Where’s the consistency?
Also can Perisic play on the right? He plays left for Inter and Croatia.
He can play on the right and moved there quite a bit during the WC. I'm told it's not his strongest side but he can nonetheless.
Him and Rebic swapped sides a lot for Croatia in the World Cup, so it's not impossible to think he can play there. As long as he doesn't crowd the left side like every other attacking player we have.
I reckon any or Martial, Rashford or Sanchez would be better than Perisic on the right wing if played there consistently.
Only Alexis.
True but I can hardly remember a team buying so many players and geling quickly. With that much money spent and a good manager in Pellegrini, the club will surely be under more pressure to start getting points on the board with so many clubs around then strengthening as well.
Anyone feel like an alderwereld and perisic singing would signal a 3 5 2 change as Jose hinted last year ? Perisic lwb and sanchez off lukaku up top
Think we're looking likely to go that way anyway
With this little left until the window is closed, Inter will take us to the cleaners. Only some unreasonable offer would go through. Simply can't see it.
Hard to see anything more happening with so little time left and market is broke.
Would calm me down to get a class LB and a CB then we would have a really strong team for 3-5-2.

Why so ? The squad hasn't changed from last year when he didn't play it bar adding a cm
Just from the supposed list of targets, plus the amount we played it in pre season.
Bailly even played instead of Smalling when he wasn't meant to. Could have easily dropped Chong in instead if he wanted to work on a 433
Fair point. Could be just extreme lack of personnel available. Will be interesting to see
If it is the case I'd expect a 433 at home to smaller teams and possibly some away games. 352 home and away against the top 6 and the tougher away games throughout the season.
Oh wow!
Strap in 
What’s Simon Mullocks record like recently?
It's the mirror, so basically worthless. Also has the classic 48 hours line, a confirmation that it's guesswork.
Finally!!!
Before I unleash the mean green muppet stick: is that journo decent?
I mean it's still just the Mirror. We'll see multiple news outlets with the same news if there's anything in it. Don't get your hopes up too fast.
Yess!
If we do sign him, Mourinho can't use the excuse of Woody not giving him the resources he wants.
I still can't wrap my head around £60m for a 29 year old (soon 30-year-old) who hardly played last season, and was a 3rd choice centre back.
It's not my money I guess...

Can he play RW?
Same journo reckons Portugal want Jose if he leaves. Seems to have put his neck on the line.

Tbf, that goes without saying.
We really need any positive news that we're even willing to trust Mirror.
Another 48 hours, meh..

Probably not, but you can bet he can play LW.
You had to do it.
Aye, we can't sign a player if they can't play LWOh the dreaded 29..
So is this £60m a tabloid ‘Manchester United transfer fee’ £60m, i.e. the transfer fee plus add-ons, plus player wages, plus signing-on fee, plus agent fees, plus VAT, plus Stamp Duty, or are we meant to be actually paying £60m for him as a transfer fee?
I can't find the tweet, but Steve Bates of the Mirror saying that we are willing to offer Martial in a straight swap deal for Willian:

I’m actually a bit surprised, Mulllock’s good for the Manchester clubs if I’m not mistaken. Cracking news if true.
Nearing end of transfer window? Check.
Target already heavily linked with United? Check.
Price quoted slightly different but within range of reported fees? Check.
Journalistic guessing from the Mirror.
