What went on in 22/23 season, hamstring and muscle injury out for whole season? 
United reportedly approached Nuno Mendes and have made a bid
- Thread starter Bastian
- Start date
Good player. Maybe having a guy who can play LB in a 4 at LWB means we could afford to play Amad at RWB on the other side? Gets another attacker into the team.
99% of these rumours are nonsense. Especially for January.
What his injury record like? Don't need a third LB spending all their time with our medical team.
Yeah, that is one of the concerns I had with him as well as his injury record. Sancho struggles against most premier league defenders because they are quick yet turned Nuno easily on that day. Add the he’s played for the manager before and you get ETH signing vibes. Do we not have scouts yet?
If only someone posted a screenshot like three posts above yours
De Ligt, Ugarte, Yoro..
And now getting linked to players like Davies, Hernandez, Mendes for the lb/lwb position. Can not complain about the players we are looking at at least under the new regime.
We are going to tear the championship a new one!

Haha - Oxford United is quacking in their boots
He's on €27k per week. His next salary will be a lot more than that, whether it's at PSG or somewhere else
Heard his contract is till 2026.
Tell em to Duck
Any good sources?
Hawkins is a good source
Not bad at all. Still young, already very good, can improve and has worked in this system with this manager. Will be a very good signing.
Never impressed when I watched him. Would have preferred Davies or Hernandez but at least a natural LB.

Great left back. Which is very different to asking him to be our furthest man forward, run in behind and make an attacking difference. This stupid role we’ve decided upon requires the perfect player for it, which is a rarity on the market. Invariably, a player will either be too poor offensively or defensively for the role at the top.
Yes but they won't want it going into the final year or his value will drop exponentially and his agent has made it clear he won't resign.
Pretty please! Love watching him play for Portugal
He played for Sporting under Amorim.
He has literally already done it.
He's a fantastic player, one of the best LB / LWB in the world, and he's very young too.What went on in 22/23 season, hamstring and muscle injury out for whole season?
However he's a bit injury prone. That might be a problem for potential buyers.
Having said that, I don't see why PSG would entertain this in January.
Both of them haven’t played in this system have they? Mendes has that going for him at least.
Agreed. Not against the idea at all just that I was never really impressed when I saw him but that's a small sample size. At least we are adressing the right positions
Seems to be a typo. That 287 day injury seems to be mainly the 23/24 season but started the previous season. He had an operation in October 2023 (guessing because the injury kept recurring) and was back playing later in 2024.What went on in 22/23 season, hamstring and muscle injury out for whole season?
Having said that I'm genuinely worried now with this kind of deal. Our record is crap at best.
I don't know how he's progressed at PSG but from his time at SCP, he looked a very good young player with a high ceiling. I remember making a number of posts about wanting United to sign him.
He's already played under Amorim and it seems Amorim wants him if RMC in France are to be believed.

And?
Find it funny the amount of people on here willing the head coach to buy a player he has worked with before ....
Worked really well previously I guess.....

We’ve been interested in Mendes for years
I reckon Amorim knows what he needs for the role better than somebody on Caf
He literally is the perfect fit.
Because Ten Hag fecked it up doesn't mean it's not something that can work
No offense mate but asking you who is and isn't a good source is like asking me what the best shampoo on the market is.
Can't see how this guy doesn't turn around the club. We are so back.
Even if he is more of a conventional fullback than a wingback, like someone has said we can maybe then move Amad as the RWB and play one attacking one defensive. Requires another no.10, though 
No asked me, I’m telling you that Hawkins is a good source.
Watch us 10x his salary now, we have an awful habit of paying players far far above what they were on at their previous clubs.
As long as the player is good enough, we are fine and dandy.
Hahaha!
