Matic can barely play one full game a week, let alone two. It would be great if we could loan someone like a Can for six months
If we don’t sign anyone this window it shows the club lacks ambition

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.
We will sign someone if the media+fans starts another #out campaign.
And by signing, I mean not the "Getting x back from injury is like a new signing" nonsense. Can see the club getting Longstaff because of him having the "mentality".

Apparently there was a board meeting with Ole today to discuss January window, would be shocked given the potential amount of games we could play if we didn’t add to the numbers.
They had a meeting today to discuss potential targets this window? Not something that can be worked on continuously? Is it illegal to evaluate players and enquire about them outside of the transfer windows? If so, then Woody should complain to the FA about signing Minamoto and force them to give us VVD and Mane and deduct 50 points.
I never said we were interested in them..........i think youve misunderstood the convo i was having with the other guy
We need to just sign anyone, hijack Rodwell going to Sheffield United.
Wait. Isn't Liverpool your club too?
I thought we would be both closet Liverpool fans together, but you blew our cover.
Have you ordered your half & half scarf yet?
According to news today we're interested in Jack Grealish from Villa and Todd Cantwell from Norwich.
That shows you the level of our ambition.

Bruno. We're crying out for a number 10 and this fella doesn't stop scoring and assisting. Only thing is he signed a new contract with Sporting so it will cost even more money to sign him now than it would have in the summer.
The whole rethinking our transfer strategy essentially was branding for lowering our expectations. The board see Ole as the low maintenance buffer / shield they want but also know that comes with the downside of being less appealing to transfer targets.
So is this American owners who decide to stop spending money or restrict their spending? It's not the first time it has happened.
Players don't stand in line to play under Ole. We didn't managed to sign bloody Haaland who knew Ole privately.
And don't forget; Longstaff and Cantwell really really really really really ...........really want to come here. Right character and shit like that.
Funny how players with right character are only players from shit teams.
Imagine if we don’t make any January signings but Lingard signs a new deal. I remember there being an uproar on Phil Jones getting a new deal last year but I think this hypothetical event will easily eclipse it.

I'm glad you have decided to drop the deception.
I hope you realize how unnecessary it was, though. Liverpool fans have been posting here for years without the need to hide their allegiance
Blackburn yeah? Good one
Changing the subject when you're called out doesn't exactly make your point very credible.
The caf already concluded a long time ago that the club lacks ambition, so I'm not sure it needs a whole new thread.
Why would they?
The misery of the Arsenal defeat has us all asking mortal questions.
But without reinforcements in January, we will never make top 4. Simple as.

Wouldn't be suprised of swoop of Maddison, NDidi in the Summer if we get Champions League and Grealish.
Id actually be delighted with Eriksen and Can on loan in January.

I cannot envisage LvG ever having buttered anyone up in all his life! It just isn’t the Dutch way. The younger, charming Jose maybe, but not the current grumpy bitter one.
I’ve always thought that Pogba’s signing had little or nothing to do with Jose. The previous regime had made an idiotic blunder in letting Pogba leave; Ed saw himself becoming the hero by setting it right.
Oh absolutely, but such a U-turn would involve such a loss of face for Ed that I just can’t see it happening. One of the reasons I’m only mildly Ole out is that I’m worried he’ll convince himself (and the fans) that the young hard-working British strategy is the right one and it’s only Ole’s execution that isn’t working. At which point he’ll go for Southgate. He may well do that anyway if England have a decent Euros
Alright so we cannot sign good players apparently cause we cannot convince them and they ask for a lot of money, which apparently we do not have. Where does that leave us? Can we do some smart buys that can pay off right away?
If we don't recruit anyone this January [which I don't think we will] it could be a sign that the board aren't completely behind Ole and that they can potentially be looking at a replacement come summer who would have a budget to play with. But it could also transpire that we spend feckal, keep Ole still and bring in a couple Sean Longstaffs. Spend another year 'developing' our young British core for The Future™ .
Who knows anything anymore, I doubt even the board do.

He is too happy, like after the Arsenal defeat. He looks as happy as a pig in shit
We don't care about being a hero or not, winning on the field makes him a hero. However it's done, it's just internal affairs at this point.
He certainly does not have good people above him at United that is for sure, but can you imagine the face SAF would have on him after that Arsenal match?
He's just happy to be here. Don't expect any challenge of the hierarchy.
The people who own United are not football people they are financial people, they are quiet happy to just hold their ground and keep milking the club until it is not worth milking anymore. Then they will sell, to who? I have no idea, who can afford it? But one thing is for sure, these money mad bastards have fecked up United.
That's the worst part about it. Nobody but the poxy Saudis could afford it.
We're stuck with these leeches for quite some time I'm afraid and I don't much like the alternative.
United will drag the window on signing nobody but make some staged fake attempt for players out of our reach again as usual.
With statements at the end of January how the January window was not right for us and with Pogba and McTominay coming back into the fold soon they are like new signings.
In reality we need a left back and two midfielders immediately.
Only Pogba, McTominay and Fred should be starting games currently and two are injured for the next month or two atleast. I believe Pogba needs surgery and its not a quick recovery as it seems to be an overruse peroneal tendon injury from twice being played too soon after injury. The efforts with immobilisation didn't work and now they'll need to go down the surgery route. Having been through his myself I worry for Pogba being able to play at all this season if he needs surgery.
feck Ole for being a soft cnut. And feck Ed for being a daft cnut. It's the fans that suffer year after year.

The club has been hijacked by money men so we are totally out of contention for any major trophies until we get free again. Someone is sucking the lifeblood from the club.
Worse still the glazers know it, they hold all the cards.
I just thought I would follow your lead. What's your RAWK username again? I think I forgot when you told me at the Anfield stadium tour. GerrardHasMyHeart, right?I'm glad you have decided to drop the deception.

Who do you support?
Usually whoever wins the PL. Last year City, this year Liverpool, and hopefully United once they are taken over by the Saudis and buy Mbappe and Sancho for 400m each.
What a character
Fixed it for you.
It's OK we have Fosu Mensah coming back to play in midfield
I actually think Fosu-Mensah would do a really good job in midfield, but the excuses have started, it seems.
The caf, or a significant part of us, supported Woodward when he refused to get Mourinho the defender he said he needed. Can't help but think that that showed a lack of ambition on the part of Utd fans, who for some reason wanted the Glazers to keep their money rather than spend it on the team.
Getting Ole is a great thing for the board -- don't have spend money, don't have to win -- just natter on about the Utd way.
I can't help but think that we missed our chance there.
Ole just said it will be hard for Fred and Matic to play all these games. Just have to ask them to keep going at long as they can.
That's calling Ed out. Hard to be more blatant while staying professional imo.
