Not sure Toney helps do that either to be honest
He better make a difference this season or my toys will be well flung out of my pram!!!
That’s the spirit, give him until the end of August then it’s gloves off!!He better make a difference this season or my toys will be well flung out of my pram!!!
If he doesn't get a hat-trick in his first start in the friendlies - he is considered a flop
Come as a sub in the Shield to beat city instant united hero
I wouldn't be so sure. If Yoro comes to United and plays well, he'll get a renewal and a wage bump that will put him beyond the price Madrid like to pay for defenders. This strategy of picking up experienced defenders on free transfers is serving them pretty well, and there's a good chance they'll carry it on. Doubly so when there's always a new Brazilian wonderkid to throw £50m at.
From the bits I’ve seen, I hope he does.
Just wonder how he, de Ligt and Martinez would feel about shared game time given all three (in current career path) would be looking to be a first choice CH.. one/all has to have some patience. Fantastic position for us to be in if happened though.
You guys need to put these fantasies to rest. United, despite being shit, is still a final destination type of club, we don't sign players with the long-term view of selling them.
The same kinda happened with Ruud and Beckham. Came close to happening with Roy, but we managed to change his mind. Since SAF we haven't had many players good enough to interest other top clubs. Probably only Bruno and Rashford. There was interest in Rashford, but his being an academy player probably made him more open to staying.
We haven't had any similar situation in recent years, where a player preferred another club and had performed well enough for them to actually want him. Pogba wasn't good enough to warrant a move to another big side. Di Maria and Sanchez both wanted to leave immediately, but never performed for us anyway.
If Yoro joins, hopefully he reaches the top level and stays for the long term, but it's certainly possible he may want to leave for another big club in the future also. Personally don't think that's a valid reason not to go for him though.
But we also need to recognize that for many players, Madrid is like reaching the promised land
Absolute tosh.
Ruud was benched by Saha, was frustrating for him but every man and his dog could see we were a better side with Saha in it. That’s like pretending we took Varane or Casemiro off them.
Becks… thought everyone knew that story now after his doc, wanted to stay, Fergie fecked him off. We were delighted to get rid and had already agreed a deal with Barca just to get him out.
He can’t do any worse than Martial.He better make a difference this season or my toys will be well flung out of my pram!!!
We need to stop calling films documentaries when they are paid for by their subject.
I don't think that needs "recognising", as it is understood. For the vast majority of players Madrid is the pinnacle. It doesn't negate my assertions though. United isn't trying to buy Yoro to have him for 5-6 years. We only reluctantly sold once.
If we do end up buying him and then selling him, it'll likely be because he's either no longer core to us, and/or we failed to ensure security regarding his contractual situation at the club - I don't think the latter is likely.
Or.. the player is a huge Madrid fan but is prepared to go to United and get 4-5 years experience/development but knows that he will still be 22/23 and can move to Madrid then. It should not stop us from buying him, we have 4-5 years to convince hI’m that he’s in the right place
I mean, I don't know how anyone would read my posts and not see I'm not post from - nor particularly care for the POV or intentions of the player. Again, United isn't buying him with the intention of having him for 4/5 years. Yoro and his advisers will surely be aware that United isn't a "selling" club, before accepting any potential move. If you think that we're going into this with a "yeah we can have and develop him, for 4/5 years and then we can sell him to Madrid for a profit" you're free to do so. I'm simply pointing at our stature and what we've done historically, to say otherwise.

I’m a lifelong United fan who can’t stand Real, yet if I could play football and both clubs made me an offer, I’d choose United first with a view to ending up in Madrid at some point. Outside of purely footballing reasons, I can see why the city appeals to a lot of players.

Usually maybe, but as an 18 year old… he could develop somewhere else and could be the best thing for him.
Never thought it was a realistic chance so won’t be overly upset if doesn’t happen.
Or as I’ve been saying, he wants to go to Madrid at some stage in his career. It’s a one or the other choice as you’ve laid out.
he could well be core to us but decides that 5 years at United is enough
Or potentially you could play for both if you’re young enough and good enough
I’m a lifelong United fan and if both clubs made me an offer I’d tell Madrid to go and find someone else
I wouldn't mind that, 5-6 years is more than ample time to stabilize the club and be in a position to scout and sign or develop a replacement. Right now we need to up the quality of our defense to get us competing.
To be fair that’d be the ideal. Would be gutting to leave United, but retiring in Madrid would be tempting enough.
Players can't move unless their clubs sells them - hence me adding the qualifier regarding contractual security - and me pointing at what United has done historically.
Ultimately, United doesn't sign players with the long-term view of selling them.
A club can still sell a player against club wishes you know. Hence why I disagree with your two options.
Manchester for me.
Thus me saying I'm not posting from the POV nor do I particularly care for the intentions of the player. Though I very much doubt he''d be signing to United with his long-term intentions being "forcing a move". Again, Yoro and his team are aware United isn't a selling club. United has only done that once.
Which makes me point to the contractual security qualifier once more.
Sigh. He doesn’t have to force a move. He could simply say, I’ve been In Manchester already 3 years, I won’t be signing a new contract.
I am not sure they can, otherwise that would be a form of slavery, basically when a club "sells" a player to another club, they are selling their registration and being compensated for allowing the contract with their player to be rescinded, if the player refuses to sign a contract with the other club then the move cannot progress, you cannot force the player to sign a contract with the other club and the other club cannot register the player without that players agreement.... so no you cannot sell a player contrary to their wises, in any circumstance....
Some fan you are. Noted for future reference. But you are annoying, you are right about that part. Give me United every time. There’s only one United.
If Yoro was to sign for us it would be up to us to become a good enough team that he wouldn't want to move in 4 or 5 years.
If in that time Real are still winning champions leagues and we're struggling to get near top 4 then he's more than justified in wanting to leave.

Ignoring how risky a move it is to not renew a contract for a player - since their livelihood is in jeopardy every time they step on a pitch.
What you've just said is forcing a move, unless you think going on strike and not showing up to training or something are the only ways of forcing a move.
I disagree, id 100000% rather wear the shirt I love and play at OT every other week, ultimate dream. It’s no contest for me, best club in the world.
I gotta say, you don’t sound like much of a lifelong fan
I’d take United every day of the week, and I’d have kids after football and move as a rich as feck ex footballer who lived out his boyhood dream to a much better city than shitty Madrid to bring them up.
Yeah think I got caught up in the Euros drama. Have given my head a wobble and admit I’d never pass on United.I gotta say, you don’t sound like much of a lifelong fan

I’ve also taken the thread off topic so I’ve got it all wrong on two counts.
If I knew United were in for me it would be a no brainer. Bucket list stuff right there.
You’re thinking of it the other way round
player A says he won’t be signing a new contract. Madrid meanwhile tell him they will sign him closer to the end of his contract.
In such a case United either sell him or he leaves for a free when his contract is up
