You'd think Rabiot must be plan B to Ugarte.

Sander Berge being mooted now. Would most certainly be a cheaper option. Always liked him, not sure how he would do for us. But is a big, fast strong boy, very capable.
Ed001, you are usually bang on with player pieces. What do you say to Sander Berge?
{Ed001's Note - he is ok, good mobility but not really good enough I would say.}

I think Mctominay is better than him or at least at par.

I don't see Rabiot or Berge as alternatives to Ugarte.
Ugarte is an aggressive ball winner, a terrier in midfield, while his passing tends to be simple and focused on retention rather than creation.
Rabiot and Berge are far more creative passers, very good ball carriers, with decent but not standout ball winning ability.
They both seem more suited to be a supplementing midfield option signed alongside a more athletic ball winner to offer squad depth.

Still keen on Hjulmand but as I understand it another huge valuation.

strange one then Ed. Or united just playing the game to get Ugarte.

I wouldn’t surprise me if another premier league club are sniffing around Berge and United’s name with the obvious need for a CM has been thrown in to either speed up a bid or help increase the fee.

Old wanted to sign Barge before he moved to was it Southampton or who.
