How did Chelski fare last season? Their squad is still a mess
Agreed, plus I wonder if we'll regret letting Fred go without having the resources to tie up Amrabat. Having an average option is better than having no option.
He's not going to get booed at Old Trafford.
Not going to play much in the first place (at least hopefully).
The person I replied to mentioned he'd get a bad reaction when warming up.
I think he might but it’ll be quickly drowned out by support.
Posted in the other tweet thread but will post here too. He says we're also interested and the player prefers us over Liverpool
Will be a mistake if we don't move for Gravenberch, I rate him higher than Amrabat and especially for what we need.
He’d be a lovely option.
If ETH has this monomanic focus on players he's worked with or knows from the Dutch league, would have made as much sense to get this guy and then sign Amrabat in addition or allow the recruitment team to also bring in one of their signing (Mone, Thuram etc) as the 'other' midfielder. That's presuming they've actually (a) scouted players outside of ETH's prior interests, and (b) performed the kind of basic analysis that has any and all of those players mentioned in newspaper dispatches above Scott T (and Fred, but of course we managed to at least sell him) in terms of technical profiles and on the field judgement, whatever their individual areas for improvements.
We will not sign anyone if we can't move on Maguire and Henderson. We are fecked, thanks to Woodward.
Is he all that if Bayern are willing to let him go?
This is all irrelevant if Donny van de Beek doesn't leave.
Checked reddit on the Gravenberch rumour, the general consensus is that the journalist reporting it is an absolute spoofer.
Don't like correcting people, but you forgot Martial.
On the flipside, I would argue that the first team is pretty much an ETH team, just the squad depth is not to his liking. The midfield experiment of Casemiro, Bruno and Mount will either have to click quickly, or be abandoned for the time being. Out of curiosity, why do people think City can play with a number 6 and two number 10s, and dominate possession, but we looked atrocious? Is it a lack of familiarity, and it will work over time?
All of their players are very good at keeping possession and have been drilled into oblivion on it. They are the ultimate system team where they do specific things at specifcic times and in specific situations. They are also excellent at pressing and winning the ball back early and high. Rodri is also a much better 6 than casemiro as a lone holding player.
City's no. 6 is fleeter-footed and younger, plus at least one of the full-backs or one of the CBs tucking in/stepping up to support him, and their number 10s are positionally smarter (or coached/forced to be). That's when they actually play with 10s; Gundogan played as 8 a lot of the time- Rodri is playing alongside Kovacic now; De Bruyne is a hybrid 8/10, who can also play on wing, and switches between right mid and centre to dictate play, as far as i can tell.
This post is going to lead to some bans ^
No decision made so I don't think people will be talking about it.
Update: no update.
Not at all, it's not a discussion it's a tweet and there's nothing more to discuss on it, it's simply an update. Similar to the one the moderators will post in the official Greenwood thread.
Ah the old no update, update.
Delete before the ban/warning.
I agree and unsure as to why his name isn’t allowed to be mentioned.
Like the club sale. No update 
It's actually saying a lot if you read between the lines.
@golden_blunder I think you should consider adding today's announcement to the read-only thread when you have a chance
Just make a fecking decision. Stop turning it into such a fecking soap opera. Tosser.
The club is still buying time, instead of players for the manager.
I know. I’ve been expecting him back since forever now. Just don’t know why it’s taking them so long to say it. But not surprised. They can’t sell a club, or players in adequate time. So why should this be different.
That update is from the same category of update as the sale ones.
They dont want to face the backlash. They want to keep the player and avoid the PR hit.
Cant do both, wont change in a week or a months time.
This club is turning me into Matt le tissier I'm sure everything that's been happening the last few months is some kind of psy op to see how much pain can be inflicted on supporters via club sale decisions,transfer strategies,harry Maguire and now this.
Agreed, but even if we keep him, he didn't play a competitive game in a long time. From football perspective, it should be irrelevant as it doesn't hold much football value, especially now when season kicked off.
It's a distraction, afer another distraction, and it's not looking healthy for the main aim, which is improving the squad and current form.
Where is that thread?
In the Manchester United Forum section. Pinned at the top.
