Can Aurier play left back? United need quality there, and with Shaw and Rojo out, relying on Blind and Darmian is a disaster waiting to happen.

Gomes as the Perisic alternative ?
Obviously not, they could hardly be more different players.
Duncan Castles reported Mourinho wanted a DM and another attacker. Didn't specifically mention a winger.
From what I've read he can cover across the backline and in midfield.
Gomes the midfielder? I feckin hope not.
I'm with you on that, but can you imagine if we got Gomes as the Perisic alternative
I see zero reason we would be interested in an average cm like Gomes. Obviously he's not an alternative for Perisic, are you confusing him with someone else? Calling bs on this one
I doubt there's anything in the story. Barca most likely trying to shift him by using our name.
Gomes would still be an absurdly random alternative to Perisic.
DI Maria alongside Suarez and Messi will be an absolute night mare for defences
It would still be a downgrade on Neymar, not that I believe PSG would actually sell di Maria to Barcelona unless there was literally no other interest and they needed funds badly
I believe that tweet meant Barca want Angel Gomes but we insisting he is not for sale. Think they've previously been linked too.
I seriously doubt that reporter has ever even heard of Angel Gomes
200 million!!! fecking hell
Yeah it was reported a few pages back that Griezmann's release clause for this summer is €200M, before dropping back to €100M from January. A safety first approach from Atletico it would appear.

Aye, but Gomes, is under no circumstances an attacker.
Ahh well that's better
PSG should tell Barca to feck off if they want Di Maria.
fecking hell that had me worried
That makes sense why we couldn't sign him. We probably bought with with Atletico's agreement which they looked out for the decision which unfortunately transfer ban hit them.
Why January specifically? Think we could really make a move to sign him during that month if Zlatan doesn't want to continue at the club or he feels he can't offer anything more after his recovery, which means we probably won't sign Bale at all even if there's a chance of it
That's when Atletico's transfer ban lifts and they can buy and register players again.
Well hes not the actual source its Mundo Deportivo. Gomes barely played last season, I think its just another case of us being linked to a Portuguese player because Jose is our manager.
Gomes has been garbage and the Spanish/Barca media are trying to do their best to generate some interest in him. Don't see any reason why we would be in for him.
It's funny isn't it, I'm not too au fait with all these journo/twitter Di Marzipan type fellas but didn't this guy get one of the first interviews with Lukaku? I'm not saying he's anymore knowledgeable than the next person but people would rather believe complete strangers on here than someone who clearly has a degree of connection with the club/football people however tenuous that is.
But everyone was reporting Matic was close. It's not as if that was a scoop. For someone who supposedly is ITK for United dealings he's rarely ever out in front reporting anything, always part of the pack when it comes to reporting. Matic signing sometime this week was widely reported by pretty much everyone by the time he posted the Tweet you're referring to.
He seems one of a number of second tier journalists who rarely break news but just chime in once others already have, claiming to have the inside story. Often using that old trick of adding snippets of largely unimportant, yet impossible to disprove, detail that really add nothing to the story but to convey a sense that he knows what he's talking about.
Real journalist: 'Breaking: Madonna will go to Ikea sometime early this week'
Later on..
Hanger-on ITK: 'Breaking: Expect Madonna at Ikea at some point in next 48 hours, she really wanted to go to Argos but has been persuaded"
....Madonna goes to Ikea: "OMG THE HANGER-ON ITK KNOWS HIS BEANS!!"
I've nothing against the guy but this is pretty much what he does.
Gomes? As in the Barcelona player? Such an odd rumour I was wracking my brains to remember what Gomes it was.
And yeah if anyone offers money for that Gomes Barcelona will quite happily cash in. Sounds more like his agent messing around again though.
Di Maria to Barcelona I could see happening.
Neymar left training 30 mins after arriving without practicing? PSG close. Says something like that.
Neymar has been 'flying in to complete his transfer to PSG' for about a week now.
Now i hope they go all out for Coutinho and turn his head around instead of going for Dembele.
Spot on. And you've actually been quite generous there.
Aye, essentially this.
