There goes Darwin.

That's what happens when you try and play the long game. I'm sure the club were waiting to see if we had a free run at him so we could save a few quid. Liverpool being proactive and wrapped a deal up with Benfica and the player in a few hours.
Disappointed if he was someone Ten Hag identified and wanted. Looks like the "new regime" still have the same bad habits as their predecessors.
Sadly I think Timber and De Jong might go sideways too. Rumours neither are too keen. Hopefully we can get them over the line or move onto new targets fairly soon.

Not that I think it’s happening or that there is even interest but I’d love the club to go for nkunku over Nunez.
Konrad Laimer would be someone I’d like too.

The transfer window opens in 2 days time. I would hardly describe United as playing the long game on Nuñez. It is far more likely that the player would simply prefer a move to Liverpool. And that goes for some of our other targets too, who will prefer the relative glamor of Champions League football. EtH has yet to prove himself in the EPL.

No worries we have a few youngsters coming through for sure. A few experts here will give out a few dossier on them. Superstars in the making, like Rashford amd Greenwood perhaps.
The transfer committee is filled with asses. It took Liverpool 2 hours to get it done and we have been going at it for months.
08 Jun 2022 20:01:10
Shawthing, the window being closed or open is a moot point. This is a player we supposedly have interest in and it looks increasingly likely he'll join our rivals.
We know there's interest in the player so what exactly are we waiting for?
08 Jun 2022 20:51:59
He probably preferred Liverpool over us, and as a Uruguayan non united fan, they are the far more attractive option currently. Can you blame him? ??.
08 Jun 2022 21:17:40
UA if greenwood wasn’t an absolute waste of space he could have been a superstar.
08 Jun 2022 21:48:55
Mumbles. my comment still stands. If the money is equal then it will be up to the player. And I think we are absolutely right not to get into a bidding war.
08 Jun 2022 23:26:51
Everyone needs to calm down and judge the club on the first day of the new season and see who we’ve signed by then. Loads of time. The fact we are shopping for players that other clubs also want has always happened. Let’s wait and see.
08 Jun 2022 23:32:49
I haven’t heard anything to suggest he’s gone to Liverpool, just that they are looking to bid, the same as we have been, so maybe they are useless too, or perhaps they have been looking at him for months too but the press haven’t been aware.
08 Jun 2022 23:44:28
We could have signed him when we talked to mendes back in may
Were embarrasing when it comes to transfers.
Whats more embarasing is the billy big balls promise we must have made to ten hag to get him his players he wants
And as previous managers have stated they never get plan a its always plan d or e
And they wonder why we are 10 years into a another "RE BUILD"
09 Jun 2022 00:15:49
Apart from the obvious attraction of a team close to their peak verses a club starting a painful rebuild. Nunez probably sees a good opportunity to slot straight into the first team. At man utd he has to somehow navigate the significant presence of a certain player of all ages, who will command a starting place probably as the main striker.
A versatile forward who can play wide right or central might be a better option for us anyway. I think Nunez looks great, but not sat on the bench getting frustrated with game time.
09 Jun 2022 00:36:04
He wpuldnt be sat on the bench, ronaldo isn't going to play every game,
We have no other striker in the club.
A striker should. have been the first player signed.
09 Jun 2022 01:53:20
Good luck telling Ronny that. He is simply not going to accept being benched, and absolutely not for any big games. Even worse, he won't even accept coming off with 10 mins to go.
No potential world class striker is going to come and play behind ronny for a season, it will be a season wasted.
09 Jun 2022 07:43:38
Right now, Ronaldo also better than Nunez so €80m on a back up is farcical. I agree with the comment above - a versatile forward is far more effective for our needs.
We also have no idea what the club are actually going to do with Greenwood depending the outcome of his case.
We do need reinforcements up front that’s for sure, but midfield is the priority area where major surgery is required first in my view.
09 Jun 2022 09:04:29
Eric i'm not sure greenwood has a way back,
Even if proven innocent that voice clip alone is discusting will he be able to find a way back? i'm not so sure.
09 Jun 2022 12:46:55
The bid is usually the last thing to go in, so I'd imagine they've had some indication from the player.
By indication, I mean that Klopp gas probably called him ?.
