I agree with Guler. He's far too talented and unless they drop Rodrygo (Vini & Mbappe untouchable) he won't see many starts.
Yeah would definitely take him

Apparently Gundogan is available, and personally I would be all over it despite his age. He can rotate with Mainoo, Ugarte or even Bruno. Fantastic midfielder who can do a Modric and keep going for many years. He showed no sign of regression and played 36 games in La Liga last season. One of my favorite midfielders and would love to see him in a United shirt.
Nah, signing him wouldn’t fit the profiles that Ineos seems to be targeting, i.e. really young, or young enough and on the cusp of hitting prime. This would be like signing Bastian all over again. Not sure if the (elusive) short term benefits is worth the risk.Apparently Gundogan is available, and personally I would be all over it despite his age.

Come on, only Ugarte and one ball playing midfielder needed!
I wonder if we're planning to replace Sancho if we end up selling him.
We seem to have the numbers but I'm a bit worried about our options. The only reliable player we have currently is Garnacho. Antony is basically done, Rashford had a horrific last season, and we seem to be banking a lot on Amad coming through for us. I'm optimistic about Amad but I feel that we need to add more competition there. I wouldn't be surprised if Mount ends up out wide.Unlikely, but damn I wish we had kept Pellistri and were able to sell both Sancho and Antony even if for only 30m each. But with Pellistri inevitably leaving us and no buyers stepping up for Antony we're probably set for our wide men.

I agree, but dont think its gonna happen. My guess is club would like to sell Eriksen, but dont have any takers. And if we can manage to sell McT, we will get a #6.We desperately need Ugarte regardless of outgoings, and probably another midfielder additionally
Hopefully we can get these deals done. This is the best case scenario now, way I see it.
Outgoings :
- Lindelof
- McTominay
- Mejbri
- Sancho(loan/sell)
Incomings :
- Ugarte

100%. Would be an amazing feat to pull off. Even a loan with option/obligation to buy would be amazing if Real doesn’t want to play ball. Would Guler want to do that though? He won’t be a guaranteed starter here either, so what’s the point of switching from one bench to potentially another?If Sancho is sold I'd love it if we did go for someone like Guler. Another signing that would fit this summer's model of signing big players like De Ligt/Ugarte who just didn't make the cut at other huge clubs but still make us better right now. Amad, Guler and Antony for the right wing would be more than enough this season.
It would be a shame not to capitalise on Real Madrid maybe having too much talent in attack, like when we didn't get Robben or Sneijder in the Ronaldo deal.
Just because they're not first choice at a huge club, it doesn't mean they can't make us better or have a long career with us.
Nah our plan should be Garnacho and Amad battling for the RW and then getting Kvara for the LW long term if there's any chance.If Sancho is sold I'd love it if we did go for someone like Guler.

Would you buy Antony ?Unlikely, but damn I wish we had kept Pellistri and were able to sell both Sancho and Antony even if for only 30m each. But with Pellistri inevitably leaving us and no buyers stepping up for Antony we're probably set for our wide men.
Yoro and Zirkzee were "wanted", De Ligt, Ugarte and Mazraoui were bad fits at their clubs (or a wage issue) but very good players. No need to complain for no reason. Our signings this summer for once have been perfect and addressed all we need to.It seems like most people are quite well satisfied with the purchases that we have made to date. I just had a quick flip through them, and it seems that we have bought people that weren't really wanted at their current teams. Unless I am mistaken we haven't nicked anybody's major stars. Is this correct ? If so, is this how you expect Manchester United to recruit ? i.e. other clubs' cast offs. I realise that de Bruyne wasn't wanted by Chelsea so it's not always a bad thing. Arsenal went and got West Ham's 'best player' that they specifically wanted. Years ago we went and got RvP from Arsenal kind of against their will - but it seems that at the moment we are shopping at other people's jumble sales.

Would you buy Antony ?
Who on earth would ?
Is there a scenario going for players like Carlos Baleba /Gourna Douath for DM Position next year or you does not expect that?
And Eze? No place for him in the Team for next summer I guess?
Eze will be 27 next year and just isn't as good as people make out, especially when you consider how many injuries he picks up in a season.Is there a scenario going for players like Carlos Baleba /Gourna Douath for DM Position next year or you does not expect that?

I don't know anything about them, so your reply is comforting.You're just wumming. How are Zirkzee and Yoro castoffs?
Back up ! I think Kieran Trippier would absolutely be a starter for us.I’d take Kieran Trippier on a one year rolling contract, only provided he takes a huge wage cut and accepts he won’t get on every game. Good backup

He would be a massive Upgrade to Mount and is flexible in positions.Eze will be 27 next year and just isn't as good as people make out, especially when you consider how many injuries he picks up in a season.
Not at his age I don’t think, not when we have Mazza and Dalot. But he would start many given our LB’s are injury prone.Back up ! I think Kieran Trippier would absolutely be a starter for us.
He wouldn't be a 'massive' upgrade at all. He's better at some things, not at others, and I'd argue he's not as suited to being a squad player for several positions as Mount is. He's certainly got more flair than Mount, but he's far more of an individual than a team player.He would be a massive Upgrade to Mount and is flexible in positions.
And 27 is not really old …..
