Adrien Rabiot is an important target for Manchester United coach Erik Ten Hag, who has already spoken to the French midfielder

He’s a good squad option to have but if FFP means we have to have a net spend of 100 mil then I can’t see him being one of the signings. Rabiot makes more sense to bolster the midfield with no outlay.Sabitzer has not done enough for us to sign him in my opinion. He has shown glimpses, but we need a better player to compete with the best
More of a reminder than anything else, but this is particularly important given that he's now out for the rest of the season:
100m for Rice is a joke.
No doubt we’ll fall for it but I just don’t get the hype. Waste of money. Would rather get 2 lesser known midfielders for the same price. We need depth, not bang average marquee signings

The only bit of info that matters regarding Kim Min-jae:

Official: Ethan Galbraith will leave Manchester United at the end of the season
For that money we could get Ugarte and Le Fee, or Caicedo and MacAllister. Rice is a good player, but he isn't a £100m player, and like Sancho and Antony (who would be considered good players if we had paid £20m for them), will struggle to live up to the price tag.Bang average i agree he isnt worth 100 million but bang average is a bit over the top

If that many player go we’ll sign more than you listedBased on what I've seen so far, I think our window is probably going to look something like this:
In:
Harry Kane
Kim Min-jae
Jeremie Frimpong
Adrien Rabiot
Youri Tielemans
backup gk (because it wouldn't be Man Utd without signing a random backup gk that never plays)
Out:
Henderson
Heaton
Butland
Jones
Tuanzebe
Bailly
Maguire
Lindelof
Telles
Williams
McTominay
Fred
Sabitzer
Weghorst
Greenwood
Elanga (loan)
Pellistri (loan)

Kane, ri
That’s massively out of proportion. We would have barely any players
The transfer to Manchester United is not true. Currently, Kim Min-jae is focusing on finishing the season. In the case of the English Premier League, the qualification to the Champions League or the final standings have not been decided. There is no need to move.
He has to be enlisted [into the military] in June, so he doesn’t have to rush.
Elanga should be sold.Maybe an extra midfielder or if we can't sell Bailly maybe we'll keep him to see out his contract if we have the funds, but it's not that different to our business last summer where Pogba, Matic, Lingard, Cavani, Mata, Pereira, Chong, Garner, Grant, Henderson (loan), Bailly (loan), Telles (loan), Fernandez (loan), Diallo (loan), Hannibal (loan) and Laird (loan) all left, and only Malacia, Eriksen, Martinez, Casemiro, Antony and Dubravka (loan) came in their place. A lot of players have contracts expiring either this summer or the following summer and we have players like Diallo coming back from loans. VDB will be back and I doubt anyone would buy him so that adds a bit more depth. Ultimately we can't spend as much as last summer due to FFP so we need to make savings.
After 17 outgoings vs 16 last summer, the squad would be:
De Gea
Backup gk
Vitek
Martinez
KMJ
Varane
Shaw
Frimpong
AWB
Dalot
Malacia
Fernandez
Mengi
Casemiro
Tielemans
Bruno
Rabiot
Eriksen
VDB
Mainoo
Hanibal
Iqbal
Antony
Diallo
Rashford
Garnacho
Shortire
Kane
Martial
Sorry Sancho isn't sold, his wage is too high, just forgot him. As I said I don't think any team would want VDB. Seems a bit early to sell a talent like Shoretire. Loan is possible.Elanga should be sold.
Shoretire will be loaned or sold I think.
If Sancho goes we’ll need to sign an attacker
Van De Beek will be sold and replaced too
Got it. I think we probably sign KudosSorry Sancho isn't sold, his wage is too high, just forgot him
July 2025, so 2 years..Still time to sneak in there? He only has 1 year left on his contract, he might end up leaving for a lot less than expected
Saw 2024 on transfermarkt but just noticed club has ability to extend 1 yr so ya fair enough. Probably won't be much discount thenJuly 2025, so 2 years..

The problem is they're getting old and don't have long left on their contracts. This is Fred's final year of his contract, he's 30, and ETH has already stopped using him. No chance he'll be getting a new deal or we'd already have heard something, so this is our last chance to get some money for him and get rid of his £120k per week wages. I agree that Lindelof's a great squad option, but he's also probably one of our best chances at getting over £20m for a player, he'll be 29 by the summer and his contract expires next year (or the following year if we choose to extend). Again it would be another £120k per week off the wage budget.Lindelof and Fred will definitely stay IMO. Great squad depth options.
How many minutes did those players play for us this season? There is a risk we have to do into our youth team if we have a massive clear out, but I expect ETH will let most of those go. Lindelof, Fred and Greenwood/Pellistri are the only ones we should possibly consider hanging on to. The others should continue their careers elsewhere.That’s massively out of proportion. We would have barely any players
Why are we this obsessed with a new CB given we still have Varane, Martinez, Maguire, Lindelof and (in a pinch) Shaw?
