I could believe that someone from Man Utd would brief a reputable journalist about making contact with the selling club. You see it with Real and Marca, Barcelona with AS(??). It is that added media pressure.

I think he’s been backed enough. He’ll be as deluded as Mourinho if he believes he hasn’t been backed.
Bribed the fax machine repair man.
How was he backed? We have currently upgraded exactly 0 (zero) starting XI players (1 on the gross basis with AWB in, but Herrera left without replacement).
Zidane!!!!!!
What?? He's only signed 1 starting players and that's AWB.
We're talking about Zidane pal.
I'd disagree. They still carry a lot of dead weight (Bale, James) and their midfield has not been revamped.
Consider the expectations and who they are competing against.
We're talking about Zidane gal.
Oh, sorry about that, I must have gotten it wrong
LOUD NOISES!
True but they are very similar to us in that regard. High wages for old and unmotivated talent. If for instance he circumstances were reversed and Ed got Ole a CB, FB, RW and say midfielder instead of what would be their striker. I find it hard many on here would be saying Ole hasn’t been backed.
Dont believe it as I think we would know about it by now, but people saying "and the rest", this would be the 3rd biggest transfer of all time? Looking at the top 10 transfers, are a couple of shockers and people using Jao Felix as an example, but he woulo dbe more than Hazard or Griezmann though different situations of course for both.
But every other one of those top 10 were exceptional for the clubs, has Pogba been exceptional for us and if we are wanting more, do people think he is as valuable as Neymar or Mbappe?
Personally think we should be snapping there hands off for such a fee.....as long as we do have 2/3 deals lined up to spend the money on. £145m should pretty much buy us a cb,dm,cm, especially adding a Lukaku sale probably a right winger or striker too.
I am just concerned our work in the market seems to be dependant on these sales, it cant be due to cash for transfers abd very early in the window we should have been getting rid of deadwood for a couple of the buys. I am all for selling Pogba, my only concern is if we did wouldnt be surprised if we ended up leaving it too late or bodged up getting all the other deals over the line which wouldnt benefit us at all
But come on people Pogba for £145m how is that not a good deal for us?
Because replacing our only world class player with few good ones does not improve us. We need to keep the world class player and buy good ones to improve us. If the purse strings are tightened because the Glazers want more money for themselves then there should be riots until the Glazers are forced to leave. United make enough money, our transfers shouldn't be tied to sales.
They are nothing more than better connected ITKs. Everyone's got a source. Question is which is closest to the big decision maker.
he is the best defensively and mediocre offensively, but for the ACM role, I don't know if that is good enough.

If it means along with the exit of Lukaku, we could get Dembele, Milinković-Savić and Fernandes, that's gotta be good business. That's assuming Pogba wants to leave.
If Maguire and Fernandes get pushed through before the deadline I'd be very happy.
We're not expected to finish above 2nd this season as Liverpool and City are in a far stronger position.
If we somehow managed to get Dybala in some sort of swap deal with Lukaku, I'd be ecstatic.
With the youth coming through we'd have some serious depth to our squad and would be look so much stronger.

Yes, IF Pogba wants to leave and we have the others lined up we may as well do it now whilst we’re trying to gel a new team and new spirit of togetherness. No point keeping a player that wants out
Way too late to bring in replacements of that calibre if Pogba leaves. It'll take Ed six years to sign his name.
It’s a great price if true and would be even better if Savic and Bruno are more or less just waiting on the call to confirm
Pogba > Savic + Fernandes
It has to be either one of those two who plays together with Pogba that only i will consider an upgrade

That's a ridiculous thing to say tbh. Pogba hasn't even been that great for us so if you're even considering that then neither player is good enough for us.
Personally I haven't seen much of either (like most on here) however Pogba has been a huge disappointment for me at United.
Rather have Pogba than those two as well. Fernandes looks decent to good and Savic looks average. Pogba is on a different level entirely.
Personally I want Pogba gone, I’m bored of the media circus, the thought of another season of it is draining me already, get rid and use the money to freshen things up
Pogba hasn't been anything like the level he should be at this club. Bar the 10 game run when Ole came in he's been a flop.
Why do our fans find it so hard to acknowledge this? The talent is there but we rarely get to see it consistently.
From the little ive seen I think a Fernandes / Savic midfield would be stronger than say, Pogba / Fred.
Ideally though I'd like to see Pogba / Savic. Physicallity, technique, goal-threat & lots of creativity. Pop somebody like Ndidi behind them (Hopefully McTom can be this player) and I think you've got a midfield which rivals City's.
I'll never understand the way some United fans talk about Pogba. A generational talent, right under our noses, just a season off winning the World Cup and posting the best numbers in the history of Manchester United's midfield, while being villanised and surrounded by mediocre players like Lukaku and Mata and Lingard.
And people think they'd rather have two unknown players in his place who haven't won jackshit between themselves or ever played at the highest level of football.

Juve need to sell, they've spent a lot of money and they've got a lot of players of high wages... Ronaldo, De Ligt, Higuain, Ramsey, Rabiot, Dybala, Douglas Costa
I see a guy we spent a world record fee on who has played consistently well for 2 months in 3 years. I couldn't care less about asinine stats like 'number of take ons' and 'dribbles completed.' He's been a flop.
Then there's trying to engineer a move to Barca after two seasons, having his agent offer him to Man City and now, once again, trying to force a move.
Pogba is the best midfielder in the world. Any combinations in our midfield that don't include him will be a downgrade because we still have the same average squad as last season and none of the rumoured replacements are world class. SMS and Fernandes look like good players but not world class in this time.
You got a source for this? Not saying it's not true just be interested in reading.
