ED002, I saw further down your analysis of United's transfers so far this season and mention that CB was one area we looked at but obviously never got anybody.

Who was we looking at? I'm guessing Hummels/Otamendi/Stones.

{Ed002's Note - Mats Hummels was the primary target, if available - which he wasn't a move to Old Trafford was always going to be unlikely at best, but there was a chance and there was interest in him from Juventus. Godin was also of interest but was unlikely to be available in the summer. Garay would certainly have been an option for the summer - but the club failed to move for him. The likes of Howedes, Virgil van Dijk, Dragovic, Mings, Miranda were considered but only made sense at a much, much lower fees than were being asked or as potentyial future players. Terence Kongolo was possibly the one who got away. Otamendi was of interest to Barcelona, Zenit, Chelsea, Napoli, Manchester City and CSKA before a move to Valencia in January 2014 and a subsequent loan to Atlético Mineiro. As Otamendi has only effectively been playing in Spain since August 2014 a move in January was unlikely - but he was of interest. There has been interest in but if he forces a move from Dinamo Kiev I suspect he will end up elsewhere. Marquinhos won't happen as he has signed a new contract.

Otamendi was of interest to Barcelona, Zenit, Chelsea, Napoli, Manchester City and CSKA before a move to Valencia in January 2014 and a subsequent loan to Atlético Mineiro. As Otamendi had only effectively been playing in Spain since August 2014 a move in January this year was very unlikely - but he was of particular interest to Manchester United who did have offer rejected - with both Manchester City and Real Madrid asking to be kept informed of his availability and , of course, he did eventually make the move.

For me, the answer would have been Garay and Kongolo.}

With Chelsea, United, Madrid and I would guess Barcelona and may be even Arsenal all in the Market for a CB next window or next summer, who do you think is attracting the largest interest out there and will be the big name that people will look to sign.

Do we have an interest in Stones and did chelsea really offer 40 million for him as reported.

{Ed002's Note - Manchester United were interested in Stones before this window. Chelsea did not offer £40M for him.

Chelsea made a couple of offers for Marquinhos (not yesterday as reported) and could return to looking at him. They have a long-term interest in Varane but it is seemingly too difficult although perhaps next summer circumstances may make that viable.

Barcelona will likely look to Laporte again but much will depend on a background issue that has yet to be resolved.

Garay and Dragović will be the notable CBs that could be achievable in January. Balanta could be another with interest rising.}

Laporte will be moving in Jan it might not be us but he will defo go from Bilbao 😆😆

{Ed002's Note - There is no agreement with any club for that to happen.}
