Transfer Tweets - Manchester United - 2023/24

[Red the Bear]

I’ve checked and there’s nothing about us being interested in Verratti on either L’equipe website or Twitter

I found This:

Spoiler: Original article

Où finira le milieu du PSG Marco Verratti dans cette fin de mercato ? Les deux clubs saoudiens d'Al-Hilal et Al-Ahli sont toujours aussi pressants pour essayer de faire venir le joueur de 30 ans. Al-Ahli s'est même mis d'accord avec l'Italien et espère réussir à en faire de même avec le club parisien rapidement. Al-Hilal s'était également mis d'accord avec le milieu de terrain mais leur offre de 30 M d'euros avait été jugée insuffisante par le PSG.



En parallèle, Al-Ahli, qui vient de recruter Merih Demiral, travaille également sur la piste menant à Hakan Calhanoglu (Inter Milan). Le club ne devrait recruter qu'un seul milieu de terrain supplémentaire. En Europe, plusieurs clubs, dont le Bayern Munich, se sont montrés aussi intéressés par Verratti

Spoiler: Translation

Where will PSG midfielder Marco Verratti end up at the end of the transfer window? The two Saudi clubs of Al-Hilal and Al-Ahli are still pressing to try and bring in the 30-year-old. Al-Ahli has even reached an agreement with the Italian and hopes to succeed in doing the same with the Parisian club quickly. Al-Hilal had also agreed with the midfielder but their offer of 30m euros was deemed insufficient by PSG.

At the same time, Al-Ahli, who has just recruited Merih Demiral, is also working on the track leading to Hakan Calhanoglu (Inter Milan). The club are only expected to sign one more midfielder. In Europe, several clubs, including Bayern Munich, have also shown interest in Verratti

Maybe they somehow extrapolated from the final sentence that we're among those other European clubs?

Veratti as good as he has been would be a classic end of window Utd panic buy.

Yes that’s the article I found as well. Maybe they mentioned United on their L’equipe TV channel and someone picked up and tweeted about it.

Seems to be not much substance to this rumour.

He won’t get minutes ahead of Bruno

Bro hes 16. He wouldnt get minutes for the first time for a while

[mazhar13]

Ignore centredevils' Tweet linking Verratti to United. There's no substance to it. It's Al-Arabi from Qatar that's starting to become more interested in the player according to Loïc Tanzi (Tier 1).

Al Ahli are still pushing hard. The Saudis are going to make PSG an offer.

Verratti has no shortage of interested clubs.

Sources:

• Tier 4:
  
  

  To break the stalemate, the Emir of Qatar and Antero Henrique are working on an alternative: a move to Al-Arabi SC in Qatar.
  However, the player has already given his agreement to Al-Hilal and is waiting for the private funds to arrive...

  
  
• Tier 3:
  
  

  Al-Arabi are now among the contenders for Marco Verratti's services.
  The Qatari club have made the Italian midfielder a very serious target.

Whats the obsession with fecking keepers

We have three - get the fecking midfield and forward lines sorted

The rumors about Varane for a potential move to Saudi Arabia don't stop. I hope this is just nonsense rumour, however, since the transfer window there is 20 days longer than in the PL, there will be always a risk of losing a player during that time while our transfer window is closed. It would be desaster to lose Varane at this time without any quality replacement and be forced with Lindelöf and Maguire.

If we get a silly fee, 50 million say, I wouldn't turn it down.

 

[Sir Chapman]

If we get a silly fee, 50 million say, I wouldn't turn it down.

Indeed, if we get a decent fee around 50 Mio. like Al Hilal paid for Mitrovic, we definitey should sell. However, we still would need to get a quality replacement for the last remaining days until the window closes.

Agree.
I also think, much as I rate Varane, I feel like he could go and get injured any minute when I watch him.

United need to act proactively in bringing in a replacement though also you wonder if this is the reason Maguire feels confident he'll get more gametime this season.

who would you sign who is better than Varane ? The drop off in quality after our first 2 CH‘s is massive.

Same feeling - every time I watch him when he makes sprints, I am scared he could injure himself. It is a question of time until he is out for a couple of weeks but until then he shall score goals and keep clean sheets

We definitely need a good quality backup as primary starter if he was about to leave. I do not want to end up with Lindelof and especially not with Maguire. It would be a desaster and worst scenario. It would basically confirm Harry's decision to stay.

 

[Josep Dowling]

This is getting silly now. Why can't Ten Hag look away from players who haven't played in the Netherlands. It's barely a top 8 league in Europe.

 

[Plant0x84]

Gravenberch is at least the right age profile, rather than an aging galáctico. Not sure I see this happening though. He was highly rated when he moved to Bayern, would be interesting to know why he is 4th in line now.

 

[Real Name]

Its top 5 at the moment.

 

[Von Mistelroum]

This is getting silly now. Why can't Ten Hag look away from players who haven't played in the Netherlands. It's barely a top 8 league in Europe.

Because who else will identify players for us? Our scouting system is useless, so we have to rely on the manager knowing about players.

 

[McGrathsipan]

Considering

 

[VP89]

Which midfielder should he go for?

 

[Marwood]

I don't think any fan can say for sure how good our current scouts are.

 

[aeh1991]

Gravenberch would be the ultimate Manchester United panic buy. Watch us bidding 40m or something, while Amrabat going to Liverpool and ending up the better transfer.

 

[Paul778]

Any bets on how much we're going to overpay on deadline week compared to what we'd havr got the ssme players for in July? I'm betting a conservative €20m

 

[CantonaManc]

 

[Dazzmondo]

Our scouting team seems to identify plenty of players. Seems much more likely that they're just ignored constantly

 

[Still Going…]

Never been that impressed by Gravenberch, but it was only 2 years ago that people were hyping him as right up there in Europe's young players. I can't see how we would use him though. He seems exactly what we don't need. I'm worried that we don't even know what we need. I'd like use to go after Andre, Caqueret, and/or Amrabat so that we're more solid in midfield.

 

[Plant0x84]

Good for the lad, but a shame to lose him, he looked really exciting during preseason. With our current dearth of strikers it’s a wonder he isn’t given a chance. Looks like he could out-Martial Martial!

Didn't realise this. That is pretty terrifying. Any player could refuse to play and demand a move and the PL team would be pretty screwed.

 

[K Stand Knut]

Or we could just refuse to sell him.

Varane wouldn’t be unprofessional about it.

Another 50p to add to our sales

 

[Erik the Red]

99% probability that he returns....

Is he playing in Holland? Tick
Has he played under ETH? Tick

 

[yamo123x]

WTF is going on ?

-Unable to move on dead wood....
-No money or desire to improve key areas of squad that need urgent attention
-Selling our young prospects to Dutch clubs for pittance
-No club sale still

Its not a great time to be a united fan.

You forgot potentially reintegrating a violent rapist into the team and selling our clubs soul to a sportwashing state.

It never rains but it pours
