Transfer Tweets - Manchester United - 2024/25

Isn't Alfie Daughty a left back?
Yeah he's a LWB. He has and can played as a RWB but it's not his position and he's much better on the left. It would make zero sense for him to be on any shortlist for RBs.
 
Maguire is better. May as well bring back Woodward if this is the new level of scouting.
 
Just a thought about Varane.

He's being linked to clubs like newly promoted Como. My guess is he will only be getting a fraction of the wages he got at United.

Could we not have just offered him say £100k a week and he wouldnt have had to uproot his family and potentially miss out on more trophies for the same pay abroad?

Yes he's injury prone, but the last few games he had at United were fantastic and if we can get half a season out of him it would be worth keeping for another year instead of blowing £40m to replace him + still needing another CB.
He was on 300k+ he would probably not have accepted 100k. There was an option to extend which we didn‘t take.
 
And we really shouldn't sign either given price tags, wages and other available options.
Who are those do you think? Todibo has been ruled out (pending appeal). And Yoro reportedly much prefers Real Madrid. If you rule out Branthwaite and De Ligt (which is valid given their prices / wages / injury issues with the latter) then who do you think we should move on to?
 
Is he not at the Copa America? Usually transfers drag out for players at tournaments
As long as the player's agent/camp on the same page as the player himself, then this shouldn't take too long to advance. What will take a while is the completion of the deal, which will most likely require Ugarte himself to be involved.
 
Any chance of agreeing a fee with anyone this weekend?
 
There's a lot of talk about who Ten Hag wants, with this and De Ligt. Seems we forgot to add a scouting department still and the manager is still calling the shots.
I do think Zirkzee is being looked at purely for style of play. He ain’t the clinical goalscorer we all crave. But he’ll improve our wingers and we’ll probably play our best football like we did with Martial leading the line.
 
Will be pleasantly surprised if we sign anyone before end of July
I’m expecting to have at least 1 new signing. Possibly 2 by mid July. I mean we’re talking to a few players already and it’s not the beginning of July yet.
 
If we get the striker, midfielder and two centre backs we are linked with. A big if. Then that's a big improvement to the squad.
 


The left back one divides me a bit. Clearly we can't have another season like last in that position and surely we'd be unlucky to do so. But then signing a new one really leaves little path through for Amass who by all accounts has a decent chance of making it. I suppose if he's fit and Martinez isn't then Shaw is likely covering left centre back.
 
We need to target more players with (reasonable) release clauses. Saves us being taken to the cleaners by twatish clubs like BvB, Ajax and Bayern.
