That would be more the Sane replacement. I still think they will buy an attacking midfielder / playmaker-winger type player too.

Since when do we do this?
I think Bernardo Silva/KdB/Foden & Gundogan will be enough for now.
I have a feeling they’ll be buying a CB before a midfielder.
Fernandinho will probably stay another year with the form he’s been showing and be backup for the DM & CB position which allows Gundogan to play a little forward. Him & Fodens emergence won’t require a replacement for another midfielder urgently.
Losing the title will surely have hurt Pep and unless the CL ban is confirmed, I can't see them going for one player only. On top of that, Aguero is not getting younger and I won't be surprised if they go for a striker too. It may be a massive summer for them but the CL ban is critical.
BT Sport caught the conversation as part of their match coverage.
And despite their subtitles claiming Solskjaer saying "you need a bit of luck with your centre-backs, keep going" ( a weird thing to say, no?), the Norwegian appeared to tell Ake: "We need a left-footed centre-back, so keep going".
Why should we give a feck about either of them?
Why on Earth would we be put on "red alert" for him? This is exactly the type of signing we don't need. We don't want other teams scraps. He would be a complete waste of money...
Again, why would we be put on alert for this player? Another who wouldn't make any sense at all...
The days of offering contracts of
£500,000 a week to players like this ended when Jose left.
Yeah that is the old United, nothing to see here
Only video I foudn of him looks very good dribbling and also looks about 12. DO liek these links with up and coming talents we are seeing more and more though. But from the brief video I have seen of him, this would be a squad signing for the future not an alternative right wing signing
Lets hope Madrid are stuck with their expensive flops for years to come as they won't be able to spend much for new players with their current wages and transfer budget.
These premiership player to Turkey moves never seem to occur, but hope some truth into Mata moving on. As someone else has said, he has been a loyal servant to the club and is a very likable character. But as a player we never should have signed him in the first place.
Fantastic player for Cheslea, a number 10 when we had Rooney and always had very little pace so a round peg into a square hole. Didnt suit our needs at the time at all and hasnt really since. Wasnt he a club record signing as well at the time with Fellaini in the same window? No wonder Moyes lasted such a short time, absolutely awful window that was
I am so glad we did not sign him. Worked out pretty well for us with Ighalo even though that was a panic loan.
I read somewhere Mata also has an ambassador role with Manchester United when he retires as a footballer. I wonder if this story has any truth to it?
Fellaini was the summer, Mata was the following January window.
Agree to be honest, he’s been a good servant but was never the right signing. Was brought in to appease fans I think and for Woodward to show off what he can do.
I think these two kinds of transfers are the exact kind that Ole will be thankfully avoiding.
He is going to Everton and linking up with the only manager that makes him play to a decent level.
Certainly not the answer to our problems, but is a good defender. Would happily lose a coupole of our first team squad centre backs and replace them with Ake if we were to also to make a big signing at centre back too, as he is far more consitent and injury free than most of ours
We made it last year with Mata giving him a 2+1 year option renewal, and besides that we only have Romero and Grant who are 30+ years.
Oh thats great, I didnt knew all it took for a player to maintain his form beyond 30 was a club plan, I always thought it was a natural physical limitation.
Yeah no doubt that is a bargain
A lazy Hamez Rodriguez link .
6 years too late with that one.
6 years too late with that one.
Typical pace merchant with very little end product. He hasnt shown anything great in the bundesliga where the teams leave tons of space at the back I dont think he'll be anything better in the premier league.
Great fifa player though.
With Mourinho in charge I would have totally believed this was possible, with Ole theres no way well be interested in him.
Nothing more than encouragement to a youngish player following a humiliating defeat. I cant imagine Bournemouth would have any concerns with Ole providing Ake with that sort of motivation after that defeat. Kind words.
I do remember there was talk of a backroom role of some sort when he retires in mind. Nothing wrong with that. Though I dont think he has been a great player to us he has been a great servant and professional. But for me that doesnt mean we shouldnt sell him, he can always come back after he finishes his playing career
Was about to say this tweet/rumour reminds me of the Wesley Sneijder transfer saga. But then we actually wanted Sneijder. More like Nicolas Gaitan perhaps.
Don't want any Real Madrid reject after Angel di Maria fiasco.
You can blame Rio for the James Rodriguez stuff
No thanks
I’d take him if the price is right would be a fantastic upgrade on some of our centre backs and means we could get rid of Jones and Smalling...
Ethan Laird is Jamaican. Just saying..
This is news to me. Surely you mean he is of some jamaican decent? Which is not what I meant
