Hope no one is stupid enough to even entertain any of that Marca shite. One they are a Madrid mouthpiece and two they have a history f talking shit about us and trying to make us look like mugs. Although, they do that to other clubs too. Definition of entitlement.

Pogba said he wants to play under Ole. Worst case he will stay one more year and he will only look to leave if we are still rubbish. It is fairly obvious.

If we get good Pogba will stay. By next season he will be 27 and wanting to compete for trophies at club level will be on his mind. Same as it must be for De Gea.

It's all about weekly salary. If we offer him £400k per week anytime over the next 12 months he's likely to sign. If we leave negotiations until December 2020 then he has the leverage.
 
Not going to meltdown over any rumours but I am slightly worried with Ole's quotes yesterday. I have no problem with us being sensible with fees etc but I feel that we can't arse about this summer. I understand we don't want to overpay for players but transfer fees have exploded and if we want our top targets we'll need to cough up some heavy figures. Big summer ahead.

Why do we insist on being Madrid's feeder club? You never see City players pulling this shite. Beckham, van Nistelrooy, Heinze, Ronaldo, De Gea and now Pogba.

So the last one was Ronaldo effectively

The only one we really lost but for understandable reasons

For some reason Madrid were never in for Richard Dunne, Steven Ireland and Shaun goater...
 
Hate that cnut Raiola and I feel he's a reason why we aren't pursuing De Ligt



Edit : I'm sure everyone can understand what that tweet means - De Ligt : Raiola will decide my future
 
A minute's silence is in order for anyone who actually believes that Utd "need money" and need to sell their stars. Absolute bollocks.

Complete.nonsense.
does Pogba look uncomfortable to any of you? this is the easiest story in the world to write after his Madrid comments, even then he kept saying how happy he was at United.
at least the Ajax result and league form are forgotten about..can't be a coincidence.

It’s not Diaz is tier 1. Not that bothered to be honest - pogba is frustrating. Get a feck tonne of money plus varane and I’ll be satisfied

He may be tier 1 but that doesn't mean this is true. All it means is that he has a source at Madrid and he believes it's true but it's all from the Madrid side.
Even the meat of the doesn't ring true. It screams searching for a reason rather than confirming one.
Does anyone believe we're holding up contract renewals because of a lack of funds?
 
GDaly95 said:
It appears we're really not going to spend much money. Solskjaer talking about spending sensibly, we're clearly struggling to tie existing players down to new contracts, it's all a bit worrying.

I think, the closest thing you can get to a 'sensible overhaul' is something like this:

Wan Bissaka
Alderweireld
Declan Rice
A right winger (admittedly I haven't get a fecking clue on this one)

It's still a fair bit of money, but it's the least we can get away with.

God would that be an absolutely underwhelming transfer window. We'd seriously need the likes of Rashford and Martial to burst from talented players to serious stars to compete for anything major.

Im simply pointing out that one shouldn’t just dismiss it. Look I hope Pogba stays but thinking Real aren’t looking him at all but in my opinion that would be burying your head in the sand. There is clearly interest; we sold Ronaldo to Real and we will sell Pogba if the price is right and he wants to go. I just hope we can replace him adequately.

We'll find it difficult to blend in 7 new players so all bets would effectively be off for trophies next season.
Remember spurs tried that when they sold Bale?

I dont think SPurs bought well, hardly get out of jail free with the Bail money boom boom. I do agree to a degree, the more to fit in at once, the harder of course. Im sure Van Gall bought 5-7 players at the dutch club I cant even remember and didnt he win the league with them?

I do think its a little different and easier to fit in if half of those players were some of the great young English ones about with either/and premiership experience and playing with other United players in England squads. I am with you really though, as adding Greenwood and maybe another 2-3 of our youngsters for more games next season, it is large number to integrate

It's not burying your head in the sand to call out bullshit though. if you took every bit of transfer news seriously then you'd be mentally replacing and inserting 200 players a year into our squad.

And that would add up to way more than we spent last summer, so there's an argument to say it's optimistic to even expect that.

I envy the optimism of people who reckon we're gonna get the likes of Sancho and Koulibaly.

But it’s not bullshit. If it comes from Diaz then it’s more than likely it’s a briefing. He’s very good for Madrid transfers. I’d compare him to Sam Lee for City. He’s not quite Ornstien level imo but nevertheless very reliable. You said it was ‘nonsense’ — it’s not. Saying it is when there are impeccable sources is burying your head in the sand.

He could be fed bullshit though, that's my point. Just like in 2016 when all of their tier ones claimed Pogba was definitely Madrid bound or when they told us they pulled out of Mbappe deal due to finances which turned out to be lied as it was confirmed they matched Monacos offer. Or how Neymar is set for a move this summer..
I guarantee you this is bullshit. I don't care what source he has at Madrid that's feeding him propaganda

Edit he reported last summer that Madrid wanted Neymar and vice versa as Ronaldos replacement in a 350m deal. More propaganda
Ok then.

It has been mistranslated. To balance the finances is more accurate apparently.

Also @cyberman i don’t doubt that Madrid run a propaganda machine better than most but that in it self should be an indicator. That is what they do after all.
 
I mean the manager is fawning over our player in public and people think there is no chance that pogba is leaving...
 
Summer hasn't even started yet and the Pogba stuff is already doing my head in. It's quite worrying too, I don't think Pogba leaving is far fetched either and it would be a huge step back if he was to leave.

He will leave for the right price. If Madrid bid anything above 150m, he is off, because we all know how Pogba and Raiola will behave once they want the move and know Real are bidding. We will cash in and use the money for Sancho or whoever else might pop up.

I would say 200 million plus. Coutinho went for 140 or so didn’t he? He’s away for the an extraordinary fee - which we will be happy with. Pogba is great but he’s no Ronaldo. 80 million - we got robbed in broad day light.

I hope Ole owns Zidane in a response, why mention Manchester United and our player? If a reporter is asking you questions say no comment? Highly disrespectful.

Must be salty that he didn't get the United job.

Money can't buy a better midfielder than Pogba so selling him would be stupid no matter the price. You don't sell your best player to try improve. You build on him as Ole said himself!

Forcing him to stay against his own will is only going to be worse and lead to toxicity. He is a great player but if he doesn't want to be here then just ship him out and use the fee to get someone else in it's that simple. We will move on without him and also Madrid has a lot of interesting players in a potential money + player swap. I wouldn't mind Varane + cash for Pogba.

While we hope that’s true not many people stay professional in that situation. We could end up losing him for free or our best player not playing well.

pogba needs to decide, if he wants to leave them milk Madrid for every penny. We need to use that money for the next best wonderkid.
 
Pachuca president Jesus Martinez said Lozano, 23, has been on United's radar for the past seven years.

"What I can say and guarantee is that Hirving has had a Manchester United scout watching him since he was 16," Martinez told ESPN Deportes. "They have his whole record.

"They have everything: videos, goals, behaviour, qualifications. They are one of the clubs with the best scouts and professionals in that area."

No evidence that he wants to leave. He said he wanted to play under Ole.

Money can buy a better midfielder than Pogba, what it takes it better scouting and planning.

For Ole to build a team around Pogba, it would mean playing Pogba as a 10, therefore removing all defensive responsibilties.What successive managers should of done is think sideways, and play Young on the right, where Lingaurd and Mata currently occupy and play Dalot or Darmian, behind him to give the team balance, if Young was injured or suspended move Dalot further up the field with Darmian behind him.

By doing this it would give Shaw and Martial more space to operate in.and build a relationship. Herrera can play the role of defensive mid as in the mold of Kante, with Scott as his understudy, and what would be required is a playmaker in the mold of Wolves, Neve's.

Linguard would be Pogba's understudy offering something different.Rashford and Lukaku as strikers.

This makes no sense. Who is this better midfielder that Money can buy?

This. Money bought Pjanic, Modric, Rakitic, De Bruyne. Pogba is a fantastic player, but he's not Xavi and Iniesta combined.
 
Pogba is a potentially consistent 15/20 goals/assists box-to-box midfielder.The only other midfielder in Europe who can produce similar numbers is Kevin De Bruyne.
Replacing Pogba with a similar player would be nigh on impossible,like it was impossible for United to sign a player who could influence us in the manner of peak Keane.

If Pogba were to leave we have to outlay his effectiveness through altleast two players.
 
The story that we are in need of money they are running with is just lazy journalism. A quick glance at our latest earnings report shows that we have a cash balance of £190 million + an undrawn borrowing facility of £125 million. With over £300 million available I don't think we are that desperate to sell one of our best and most marketable players.

Hang on a second. You are saying that Pogba can consistently get 35 goals and assists? Or 20 goals and assists?
 
If we lose Pogba we are in trouble as he's basically doing two jobs right now, he's our #10 and the only creative passer we have in the team.

I imagine the latter since he's currently on 14 goals and 14 assists for this season, of which he was at loggerheads with the manager for half of it.

Ah right. That's fair. Pogba is a special player, has the qualities to play in every midfield position except DM. The reality is that elite players like Pogba and De Gea will consider leaving if we don't get our things in order, they are good enough to play for the best teams in the world. I just hope we get it right this window and sign 3-4 high quality players.
