Love to see these Lukaku rumours coming out of nowhere and building steam. Those type of stories are usually the ones with the most accuracy and I could definitely see Jose hijacking the deal by using Rooney. The fact that Rooney to Everton heated up so much in the last couple days suggests we are sure of having 1 striker signed at least. If we got both Lukaku and Morata that would be amazing. I could see Morata playing on the wing or as a number 10 easily and I've always considered Lukaku to be the best realistic option for us up front this summer. We need goals badly so I'm convinced by Friday we'll have news of 1 new striker minimum.
I'd be pleasantly surprised if we signed Weigl. He broke his ankle in May and is expected to be out until at least mid-September. Injury isn't necessarily a deal breaker but would be a risky signing.
Surely it's a lead weight?
If we get Morata and Lukaku... 
WOODWARD! BUY THEM ALL. BUY. THEM. ALL!!! Sorry for the happiness.
Think he means Matt Lawton and not Matt Law. Matt Law is reliable for Chelsea but Matt Law hasn't spoken a word yet as far as I know.
All these theoretical line-ups seem to forget...
Martial?
Martial?
With the repeated links to Perisic and Martial falling behind Lingard in the pecking order last season I think it is fair to say he is unlikely to be a starter.
What about Rashford… who played ahead of Martial?
What about Rashford… who played ahead of Martial?
He needs the burden of responsibility taken off him anyways. Be good for him to play back up striker and work his way up like he should have been doing anyway
Rashford,Miki,Mata and Martial,what are we going to do with these four.Imo we'll not buy Lukaku.
Sorry mate,time when we are looking for DM option you are putting Pogba back to two man MF,that team look bit unbalanced.------------Lukaku Morata
Martial Pogba Herrera Mkhi
Shaw Lindelöf Bailly Valencia
Replace Herrera with a player like Matic and it is actually quite balanced although I still don't like it
Change Herrera to Fabinho... If i talk straight, i actually dont believe we will sign both. But in same time, im not sure we will play with three midfielders. It's possible Pogba still have to play in midfield two. I would be interested about three CB formation.
Could be that Woody is now thinking well if we're supposed to pay around €70-80mil for Morata, might as well consider an extra €15-20mil for a proven premier league bully. Dont mind which one we buy
I think Jose is looking for flexibility with his formation, between 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1, he's certainly looking for free role for Pogba which means he need DM(Fabinho/Matic).
He said in the FTD video a first team player told him Morata will be done by the weekend.
Blacklist
On the blacklist too. Palmer regurgitates other sites with added clickbait to constantly push his site nobody reads.
I should've checked the OP.
Stephen Howson, the guy who charged visiting fans money for giving them an 'Old Trafford experience' is a source of information now? feck off.
He is the guy who takes pictures with his son standing next to celebrities right?
No way we're getting both Morata and Lukaku, most likely a deliberate leak to let madrid know we have other options
Theres no way we're getting Lukaku AND Morata, surely this is a leak by the club to show Madrid that we have other options. Honestly I would rather we just go for Lukaku!
I can imagine the scenes here if we managed to get both!
Btw I see that Talisca is still begging to join us. One of him or James will imo.
Is it possible at all we are the one playing the game on everyone and the whole Morata thing was designed just to take the eyes off Lukaku long enough for Mou to one up Chelsea?

Unfortunately most of the recent story's have cone from well know BS merchants , I want something from BBC sport, surprised sky haven't jumped on the band wagon with there "sources" yet
Pursuing vs buying are different. My answer was to the poster who suggested we buy (actually, buy) Vardy and Ox to pressurize Real and Inter - despite it being clear that:
1. We are pursuing other players - we've been linked to at least 30 this summer, if not more
2. The selling clubs clearly not wanting to sell
3. Every English club being asked to pay a massive premium given their riches from the TV deal
4. These alternatives being so sh*te as to be meaningless as pressure tactics
5. The economics still making absolutely no sense
Inter, Juve and co. are working differently because - wonder of wonders - they're different clubs with a different reality. Man United are in a weak position, specially when it comes to Real and Morata. Real clearly have no need to sell. Even if they were to buy Mbappe for a ludicrous amount, this is a club that's almost as rich as United and has players like James that they can offload for high amounts anyway. Oh, and they don't need to sell to fund a move, since they don't have such glaring holes in the squad. Plus, Morata is a striker they'd love to keep. He's not on insane wages, is lethal when called upon and is young enough to not be past his sell-by even in a year's time.
It's not rocket science to know when a seller holds all the cards. In this case, if we were to tell Madrid we won't play ball and will sign Vardy instead, I think I know which side would be laughing...and no, it would not be United.
On Perisic - you may not rate him (I do, actually) but Ox? Really? It's like me threatening BMW that if they don't reduce the asking price, I'll buy a fecking Smart instead. Hardly likely to work, I think you'll admit, specially when (once again) it's not clear that Inter don't need to sell and are quite happy to keep Perisic (I recall reports which even said that when Spalletti signed, he said he wanted to keep Perisic).
Not if they are in there OP. I forgot about McDermot yesterday. OP still applies.
Where are the McDermott and Palmer tweets. It's impossible to monitor every tweet. Please report tweets which are from the blacklist.
Also, Mirror ones are okay IMO. They're a national newspaper better than Express etc.
If we end up signing both (lukaku & morata) maybe mourinho will play the team same way as he used milito and eto'o at inter?
