We could also have done this to get another club to agree to lower their fee to what we consider reasonable. As in threaten to go for Gabriel instead if they don't play ball.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

That could also be the case, but which other defender would we be chasing? Other than Gabriel, there have been no somewhat-reliable reports on us going after any other defender (note: I may be forgetting one or a few of them).
Sounds like a case of mentioning us to get the other clubs to finalize the deal..
They have, though; it's now up to Gabriel to decide on his destination.
No. But I think it reduces the risk of being from overseas somewhat. There are a loads examples of overseas players that settle well, perform well and reject the pull of a foreign super club, however, I'm almost certain that there are more that moved from abroad and been a costly mistake that fans have failed to warm to.
United left it too late, he won't be able to resist the appeal of London de Janeiro FC 
This is interesting. It seems like Gabriel wants to know if we're serious as well before making his move. That explains the stronger United links now.
EDIT: This could also be his agent trying to get us involved in order to have potential for a bigger paycheck.
Seems more like Gabriel is begging us to sign him so he doesn't have to move to Arsenal.United left it too late, he won't be able to resist the appeal of London de Janeiro FC
yeah, Gabriel chose Arsenal over United. LOLUnited left it too late, he won't be able to resist the appeal of London de Janeiro FC
Anyway how many Brazilian players are now at Arsenal?
New manager who failed with Everton versus Barcelona's best ever player.
Gonna be a close one.
Will Koeman do a Moysey and tell Lionel to learn from to do things from Everton s greats during his time at Goodison ?
Leeds are targeting Rodrigo of Valencia.
This comes after reports from Spain that Valencia are looking to sell him to balance the books.

I'm just surprised that more clubs aren't being linked with him. He'd be a great player for most clubs in Europe.
Have we signed anyone? 
Yeah I even think he'd be a very good option for us. Has the versatility to improve our squad depth.
As usual.
There s also a rumour that a club who put in a bid for him, retracted the bid because they didn't like his attitude.
I m assuming that at this stage, only Arsenal are still interested and Lille are trying to use us to get more money from the gunners.(some twatters also suggested that a medical for him in London has already been booked)
What's for sure is that some time ago we asked Lille to keep us informed about any offers.
More like just some media trying to get more clicks before another option for their fairytale's goes off he table. All indications are it is the player stalling the move weighing up his options not the buying clubs.
Wonder if there's anything in the Kante links and if so could we come up with something creative.
Let's say Chelsea can get Rice for between £50m and £60m and Henderson signs a new 5 or 6 year deal with United.
Then I think i'd take £50m and Henderson on loan for 3 years (no recall, can play everything) for Kante.

yeah, sure. No problem at all.
You’d let us have a 29yr old Kante who relies massively on physicality for 50m plus Henderson on a 3 year loan in a post COVID market? That’s very generous of you
Think that deal is a bit unfair on Chelsea. What if we threw in Bruno as well?
It really hurts Chelsea fans feelings that Dean is a Utd player.
Oh no, just getting my relegation candidates prediction in early
Dude wasn't good enough for Brighton last season, gets linked to Chelsea and now he is 50m+ take it or leave it? Dreaming indeed.
I'm guessing you've seen him play a grand total of zero minutes. He wasn't out on loan because he wasn't deemed good enough he was put there so he could play every single game and develop as Brighton had a solid CB partnership already established in Dunk and Duffy as well as having Webster too.
He was by a million miles the standout player in the Championship let alone defender and is more than good enough to play at the top level.
Lacking knowledge is fine, some don't watch other teams but then don't go making stupid (and rude) comments on the assumption that he can't be good because you aren't aware of it.
Any other brilliant Transfer swaps you Want to share?
Rodrigo has always had a very complicated ownership arrangement if I’m not mistaken, it will be a complicated deal to do, and one of the reasons he has not gotten his annually touted move I suspect.

Think of all the practice Henderson would get
We're good for pens.
No but seriously I agree that deal would favour Chelsea but I could see United doing such a deal, especially if Henderson knew it was an option prior to renewing i'd imagine it'd be a move he'd fancy while de Gea further deteriorates he'd likely be even more ready to take the no.1 spot then as well as having got rid of the "it's different playing for a top side, hasn't played CL" stigmas.
I'm not overly keen on him, just an option to replace Kepa without having to spend a fee if resources are better used elsewhere. If paying for a keeper I think we'd have some better or at least more proven options.
Ah, he's owned by a third party, isn't he (apparently it's Peter Lim after a quick Google search)? Yeah, that'll make things more difficult.
that sort of deal would be possible (still very unlikely) if Chelsea weren't a direct rival or it was like the Serie A, but not in any realm of possibility right now.Think of all the practice Henderson would get

Would be funny if we hijacked it but this is clearly Lille putting our name out there to hurry Arsenal along
Depends on how you weigh things up, though I agree English cubs and fans struggle to view these things practically.
Basically if United view de Gea as no.1 and Henderson will be loaned out in any case then that makes no impact to the strength of United's side.(neutral)
If there was interest in Kante then it's assumed it's because he is viewed as making United's side better. (positive)
And Henderson playing for a rival is only a discernible difference if you believe either Chelsea will sign no keeper if it isn't Henderson or that Henderson is exponentially better than the alternative keepers Chelsea could sign (highly unlikely and in any case very marginal negative)
Martinelli, Luiz, Willian, Mari played in Brazil so he counts, Cedric speaks portuguese so he automatically qualifies and if you look quickly Guendouzi is also brazilian.
And soon we'll add Gabriel after he REJECT and SNUB United to play for The Arsenal.
Koeman's not giving away much with regards to rumours about Suarez leaving the club.
Can't reject and snub us if we weren't really interested but you believe that if it makes you feel better
What Kante links have I missed something
