Manchester United Thread

The moves and potential signings show the owners are backing ETH to almost full extent.

Basically giving him the keys to old Trafford.

Long as more deadwood go out and the same mistakes aren’t made I’m all for it.

Outs almost as important as Ins at this stage. We have so much deadwood.

I’d like to see the new ownership come in next time a player tries to pull power or cause trouble call them out publicly and ship them off.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Just another varane move.

He's a lot younger and would be on a lower wage and looks like we can get him for a reasonable fee.

Sounds like our off field structure is complete with Ashworth and Vivell joining.

Time to complete some of these transfers (De Ligt, Ugarte, Zirkzee).

Would also like to see some youth purchased. Assume Wilcox will have a big impact here.

If we can sell Lindelof, Malacia, Casemiro, Pellestri, Van De Beek, Hannibal and Sancho then we will have done well. Antony leaving looks difficult with fee and wages.

I'd expect the following academy players to be regularly training with the first team and on the bench next season if they aren't loaned:

• Collyer
• Kambwala
• Amass (Luke Shaw clone)
• Lacey
• Wheatley
• Jack Fletcher

Not sure if it has been discussed on here in a while but I wouldn't rule out Greenwood playing for us next season. Ratcliffe doesn't seem to care about public opinion.

sounds like Bayern fans don't want De Ligt sold.

The big danger with De Ligt is his health, but from a financial POV, I get it. €50 million vs £75+ million for Branthwaite and the difference in ability between the two might be negligible.

The big thing about the structures at the clubs changing, handing out lower wages etc, is in future player sales. If Maguire and Antony are difficult ones to sell because of their wages, we might not have the same issues trying to sell players we are going to buy in the future.

I’ve read some reports that they’re trying to haggle de ligt down to 34 mil euros.

If they can get him for that give the negotiator a raise!
