MEN also report that United have an agreement with Feyenoord for Malacia.
However, I have another reason for posting this Tweet:

You're sort of correct. Feyenoord had a verbal agreement with Lyon on the deal. However, since it wasn't formal, United could still jump in with a better formal offer and get ahead in the race.
That is true guess we'll have to see once our primary areas have been covered. Still 2 months to go.Ten Hag's willing to give Dalot a chance, however, and whilst Dumfries seems like a reasonable player to bring in, I've yet to see a reliable report linking us to him.
On the bright side, Melissa Reddy's reporting this, so for we're seeing a rare occasion of reliable reporting from them.
Touché
I like that, we waited till the price for him was set at normal level by Lyon at 13 mln euro then make our move.
Other way around they would want 25-30 mln for us.

It's actually amazing; I went back and looked at the articles from May regarding Malacia. The links said Utd and Lyon were interested and the price was around £16m. So really very little has changed. Almost as if the deal has been on the cards but we were waiting to see if FDJ was going to take up another £10-12m of our budget.
I'm not sure where that leaves other business but perhaps Malacia in particular was dependent on the FDJ fee while we've set aside money for CB/RW separately. Or maybe the fee for Andreas has largely covered this?
They really do, it's the BREAKING for me hours after it's been reported by everyone elseOnly because it's been all over the internet for an hour
Bless them, they do try
It's all about the baby steps in the Sky Sports redemption tour.Only because it's been all over the internet for an hour
For those who were wondering about Martial's future:
Any idea why we'd offer more money than Lyon and a sell on clause? Surely we could have offered the same terms?
Could be several reasons; 1. to bring Feynoord back to the negotiating table, 2. increase the bid so that Lyon also has to increase to get their offer formally accepted, and 3. to get Feynoord to approve that the downpayment gets split over three years (as reported by some sources) instead of all up-front.Any idea why we'd offer more money than Lyon and a sell on clause?

Barcelona already recognises that it is close to selling Frenkie de Jong to Man Utd.
Barcelona wanted €100m between fixed and variable. It will not arrive.
About 80 - €85m, necessity rules over sport.
It is for the TikTok generation. they want anything and everything and they want it yesterday.But I thought negotiating was bad?
I can understand why we wouldn't want to sell McTominay right now. He's probably the only player we have that can kinda play a holding midfield role. He can't play it well but his defensive positioning is decent which we can't really say for any of our other midfielders (not counting FDJ). Maybe Garner's positioning is good too? I don't really know, from what I saw of him last season (only a couple matches and some highlights) he looks like he plays much more advanced than when he first joined Forest.
Actually think that's his worst trait. He leaves massive gaps that opponents walk into. He's a liability defensively and all his positive traits are going forward instead.

I was tempted to do the same, but it's never a bad thing to remain fully informed.Left that one out

I should've paid more attention to the emoji. Okay, time to delete that Tweet!He means his baldness not Antony
Already deletedNot to be picky but this shouldn't be in the United Tweet thread.
United have entered the race for Gnabry!

Alternative probably.Does he come as an alternative to Antony or along with!
Going off a reliability scale from Reshad Rahman Foot Mercato are supposed to be reliable.Is this Aurelien Macedo guy supposed to be reliable? No one else has reported on this link. Plus, Foot Mercato tend to get wild with their speculation as does any football transfers website/media outlet.
That's what I was thinking too. Hopefully it's just an option and not a sign that Antony is staying put. Gnabrys quite a player but Antony does seem to have that something extra special.Alternative probably.
Hopefully with. Nunez alternativeDoes he come as an alternative to Antony or along with!
There's something happening here.
What it is ain't exactly clear.
