Yoro looks a superb prospect in the very few games I’ve seen him in.
De Ligt being only 24 still feels weird considering it feels like years and years ago we were linked with him before the Juve move.

Even if a team pays the release clause amount this month, João Neves won't want to leave Benfica until the summer. Unfortunately, the English media took this story and extrapolated it to the point of reporting that United supposedly have the official priority to sign João Neves, which is not true; they're just further ahead thanks most recently doing business with the club for the Álvaro Fernández transfer. Benfica even had to make an official statement to deny those English reports.
Here's the translated statement:

Official: Álvaro Fernández joins Benfica on loan until the end of the season with a purchase option
Plus sell on?€6 million
Yeah, not unhappy with that.
£5mil+ a decent sell on percentage for a player who was no better than ok in a mid table championship side last year is about right.
We've sold Alvaro Fernandez but they've bought Alvaro Carreras.
Does that mean anything apart from that he's potentially fallen out with his dad?
This are the type of deals we should be making, he's not getting minutes here with Shaw and Malacia. 6M is a low price but we're into developing players for the first team not selling them for profit it's a good incentive for benfica to play him and if it turns that he's good enough we have a buy back clause.
It's funny, I will always root for Reguilon after his stint here. He played with urgency and heart when he was out there. Not the quality we need to get to next level, but enjoyed watching him play.
Yoro and Neves are excellent players. If we are genuinely interested they are top choices with lots of upside. The kind of players Madrid or Barca of old would sign. It bodes well for our new recruitment structure if this is the calibre of young player we are going after and it’s not just talk.
€6 million
What is more interesting - is what I hope we get, that isn't on a contract. Goodwill with Benfica for the future. Maybe a promise to be kept in the loop if an offer comes on for a player we might be interested in
There has also been paper talk (Twitter talk?) around Antonio Silva, Scalvini and a few other young players. It would be nice to genuinely build a young team that can grow together.
For the loan€6 million
if they buy him we’d obviously get more. What we don’t see there is what that buy price might be, how much more they might add to that
if it’s just 6m I’d be slightly disappointed
I doubt they are paying €6m to loan him for half the season.
Seems pretty clear that the 6m is the buy option.. No way they are paying 6m to loan him half a season.
I should clarify, is there additional added when it comes to the buying stage?
if not, I think we’ve did ourselves. Could have squeezed 7 - 8m out of it. But perhaps they see the clauses as potentially more profitable
It's €6 million and€ 3m in further add ons . If he plays more than 50 % of the Games Left it becomes an obligation otherwise it's an option according to Lauri Whitwell The Athletic
Ok so potentially 9m which is more in the ball park that I envisioned
I see this as a sweetener to upcoming summer business with Benfica.
Absolutely. It felt like the media would heavily link us to the correct transfer targets under our previous setup but we would fumble (haaland bellingham) or dither (Caciedo Alvarez etc) and let other clubs acting with more conviction step in. Hopefully this is a new lease of life and lifting of standards all round.
This is what I want from United under Ratcliffe.

Can we demote him a tier… or two?
Never mind his constant negative tweets about us, and the Pc ban, he spent months saying “Jassim coming, you’re all morons”
to be shown up for the tool that he is.Id rather listen to Sports Witness or Talksport.
Despite his own foolishness, most of his reports are reliable, so despite my disappointment, I can't label him as someone who's less reliable.Can we demote him a tier… or two?

Any links to Giroud to United?
There are none. I posted this to highlight another suitor for Zirkzee.
