For cm it looks like Ederson +1 more.
Anderson is he set on City imo likelihood 5/10?
Tonali really good player imo likelihood 6/10.
Fernandes huge potential looks a player to ne likelihood imo 8/10.
Baleba is he too like Ederson? Imo likelihood 4/10.
Wharton bit of a dark horse down the list of options imo likelihood 2/10.
They appear in my order of preference in that list.
I still think 5 is a bit light for the 3 positions given the games Bruno, Mount, Mainoo, Ederson? Other? Unless there is somebody from the academy who can step up.

Not sure there is anybody who can step up yet, Tumble. Collyer will surely be sold this summer too, as his loans have not been productive, and Kone needs a loan to develop after his injury.
Carrick may have seen enough in Tyler Fletcher to keep him in the squad for next season?

Yeah, I think we need 3 mid signings. We're losing two, with Ugarte on his way out, and we have far more games next season. Would be silly to go into next season without 4 quality central mids.

Hayden from Boro, quite a likely purchase. Known and rated by Carrick. Prob happy to be a squad player, and won't cost a fortune, so limited downside.

I'd love Fernandes. I think he's a really good player and a good alternative to Anderson. I'd be very happy with Ederson, Fernandes and another techy CM to complement Mainoo. imo, that would be a very energetic and strong CM, and will change the game for us.
If we can add a CB and another forward, it would be fantastic.

Agreed, Angel. Ederson + M Fernandes, and then maybe Hackney, or, probably too ambitiously, Alex Scott, would be great. For forward, I hope the Mateta links are true, he'd be ideal. I'd be looking at RB, and then LB before CB, but that assumes De Ligt is anticipated to make a full recovery.
02 Jun 2026 07:17:05
Mateta is not clinical enough.
02 Jun 2026 07:52:04
Hackney would be an astute signing, I'm really not convinced by Mateta.
02 Jun 2026 08:57:36
Don't like Mateta. Never seen Hackney. We need at least 1 cb badly and full backs.

Utd need to spend their money well and wisely this summer. Hackney would be a very good squad signing, as he wouldn't cost a lot, as he only has a year left on his contract. I'd imagine he would cost circa £15 million.
