I agree. Shame we weren't in for him, I definitely think we would be if SAF was still in charge, Jose looks for different attributes and we still have to get Martial firing again.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Sanchez has clearly rejected us before. So not even a question. Dembele hasnt. Sure he might have a preference of Spain but things dont workout then we could be a possibility is what I want to see.
Now watch PSG go and buy him too 
Dembele looks a great talent but wouldn't act like he's a certainty to become the next big thing. A lot of players have looked like absolute gems at Dortmund. Gotze was rated even higher than Dembele when he was at Dortmund and that obviously didn't work out. Probably as good a replacement as Barca could hope to get but not sure he's ready to replace Neymar's goal contribution. Important signing for the future though no doubt.
Dembele has two established European giants in Spain fighting over him, where he can slot into their system and light up whatever side he's playing against. He isnt coming to us, who are on the re-build, so all this "Dembele>Peresic/Bale" stuff is irrelevant.
If Fergie was here we would have made a move when he was at Rennes. His next move will be to Spain.
Mbappe is a Madrid fan whilst Dembele is a Barcelona fan. The big two getting the big talents again.
It's like people think management doesn't think these things through.
I guess something like Dembele -> Barca, Mbappe/Hazard -> Real, Bale -> Chelsea/United would make sense.
Such a pity though.
Absolutely.
I have no idea why Dortmund would give up Dembele so easy. A lot of years left on his contract and no release clause.
Perhaps a better manager?
Yeah I was thinking that, our scouting network seems to be up to standard for the first time since SAF retired.
Are they signing him on a free then? 'Cos I would have thought around half of that 200 will be going on actually getting Dembele.
This is how I see it playing out.
It's not a myth. We wouldn't have gone for him when it was a fight with Real and Barca, IF AT ALL - it would have been the move before, like when he left France.
Fergie was rarely fighting it out for world record deals, but he'd get in the mix, if he liked the player, a bit earlier.
We should instantly send a lawyer to La Liga with a blank cheque and pay his release clause once Barca signs him just for the giggles.
Agree with this. He's slotting straight into a high pressure situation in a team on the slide. How many youngsters have left Dortmund and really shone? Götze, Sahin, Kagawa have all struggled despite stellar years prior to departure. He's a massive prospect but no certainty.
We are still trying to sign him. If we are getting him is another matter
Di Marzio needs to brush up on his English, muppets depend on him and he can't let important details like that slip by.
I think that is one of the reasons he has several guys working with him
He took it as we're making a move for him. As in trying to sign him.
I think DiMarzio saw the words MOVED ON and missed the word FROM. Therefore he thinks he was asked if United had really moved on Perisic and thought the question was about us actually making efforts to sign him, not about having given up.
Just misinterpreted by British readers I think.
He meant it like 'Real ready to move on Mbappé'. Basically, just saying they are ready to make their move.
Cristiano Ronaldo: "I've never had a [tax] problem in England, that's why I'd like to go back"
How many successful young wingers did fergie buy? I can only think of Ronaldo.
He's coming home.
Nani.
