Hopefully if we sell McT and Sancho we can get a LB & another forward in alongside Ugarte. Wishful thinking though

We are not signing another forward. This is not football manager
I don’t want us to get a rep for selling cheap, same as I don’t want us getting a rep for over paying… I think Ineos/Berrada have done well on the latter.
But as home grown, it’s pure profit, straight into PSR/fund pot and we save a few £m of his wages. If we keep him, he’s 5th, 6th, 7th (if we get Ugarte) on MF options and is really a last ten minutes hope sub. Expensive one?
It’s been reported if we can, we would ideally like another forward.
This is not football manager, this is real life.
United missed four big chances against Fulham, and though Zirkzee made a scoring impact, executives are keeping a new centre-forward in mind given Rasmus Hojlund’s injury. An arrival in that area of the pitch would need a major sale first, however. United are not progressing with discussions on Ivan Toney due to the cost involved in fee and wages. Toney is subject to interest from Saudi Arabian side Al Ahli.
We don't need another centre forward. What we do need is to replace the useless Rashford, Antony and Sancho with a couple of quality wide players.
I can't comment on the match day thread which is bizarre.
When Pep buys Ederson, because he fits the way he wants to play, does he continue to play Joe hart because he's having a blinder? Absolutely not!
But Eth continues with Maguire, even though De ligt would be the better option for how he wants to play?
Brighton have beaten us 4 times out of 6, but he doesn't play his best side.

We signed Hojlund for £60 million last season and Zirkcee for £36 million this season. I’ll put my mortgage on it we don’t sign a forward in this window regardless of media talk.
“This is not football manager”
One of the most overused phrases here. And usually the person saying it has nothing to add to it.
Top clubs often sign more players than usual after a poor season. It doesn’t need to be football manager. It happens in real life constantly
I don’t think United will get another forward no. But if they did somehow get £25m for McTominay and £40m for Sancho, they’d definitely snap one up if the right deal was there
I’ve added why in the reply to him actually and I think it’ll be Ugarte and then a LB followed by a winger if we do lose Sancho. I would think a striker after that which has a zero chance of happening .
Toney doesn't make sense for any Premier League clubs financially. With the fee, wages and bonuses you are looking at a package of potentially £120m + over 5 seasons.
Well I think the way the game is going, teams aren’t necessarily looking for the goals from the central striker as much now. City are the main exception because they’ve got Haaland who is far and away the best striker in the world.
I’d want a forward out wide who can add some goals. There will be a potential Salah out there somewhere
If Toney is still a Brentford player past the deadline then maybe a potential move for him in January as he’s out of contract next summer?
Reasonable price for a January signing or we just take him for free in the summer on a pre-contract
I don't think Toney is worth the wage that would place him in our top earners bracket. Even before he had a massive offer from Saudi wage wise, he still reportedly wanted more than Bruno was on before his new contract when we had earlier links.
On a free transfer, it again depends on whether you want to spend £13-15m a year in wages.
We play with one striker (sometimes none). We just signed Zirkzee, and Hojlund is only 21. I can't see us signing Toney.
Good player, not good enough to sacrifice much needed funds for MF.

It is when we were clearly not going to score enough goals. Goals win games after all
I think you misread my post. If there's someone available that's guaranteed 30 goals a season, then I'm all for signing that player instead of Ugarte.
I don't think that player is Toney.
In the end, they decided to go with Conceição.
It clearly says that the intend to bring in two wingers. This other guy is an easier deal to do financially, so no surprise they got him first.
Keeping Casemiro in the starting 11 will result in at least 12/14 defeats again this season in the EPL, we must sort this position first, today our midfield 4 cost nearly £1m per week in wages with movie on less than £20k per week and a 37 year old Milner and Billy Gilmore probably on 80k per week combined dominated the second half, something is very very wrong when 3/4 midfield players can not control 2 ?
It's Nico Gonzalez plus one of Sancho or Conceicao
Damn, had no idea Gonzalez was a winger
According to a post on X just now from UF (UtdFaithfuls): "Despite signing Nico Gonzalez and Francisco Conceicao, Juventus also still WANT Jadon Sancho, who is leaving Man Utd. They're working on the deal. [@DiMarzio]"
Personally think it will happen.
Gonzalez and Conceicao are the two wingers then. *where's the Houillier smiley gone?*
@juventusfc continues to work to take #Sancho . Continuous contact with the @ManUtd and the player for a loan operation
I don't really mean it - but sometimes I am tempted to write.....screw FFP and just sign 2 quality midfielders.... and if that means we take a 4-6 point deduction - it's almost worth it.
If we lost 4-6 points the Caf would tell us we’re in a relegation battle
We're not in a relegation battle already, after one loss?
Can tell it's a bank holiday weekend by the lack of transfer tweets whether it's incomings or outgoings
Good price.
Wow didn't expect this to happen to be honest
Very happy with this fee. Shrewd but of business.
It is always a bit sad when an established academy player leaves the club, but it is the right decision. Hopefully, this means two more players arrive.
Oof big news, he's a useful player but not good enough.
I don't think its FFP holding us back, I think its actual money. We were in a good FFP position before the window opened. Add to it the pure profit sales since....
I don't think you get point deduction for FFP since it is managed by UEFA. Moreso fines and possible exclusion from European cups.
PSR on the other hand...
But as said above, I think it's more of a cashflow problem (INEOS cannot or will not) than abiding to regulations.
If we can get Ugarte, Rabiot on a free and Toney (following sale of Sancho) that would be an excellent summer. If ETH can crystallise a top 3 finish by Christmas with that squad he should be sacked.
Sacked for being in the title race ? Tough crowd.
