Napoli have offered 25m euro for mctominay. Sounds like we've rejected it. Really think we need to move him on so hopefully a compromise can be found. I don't see how he's worth the 30m we want considering he's only 1 year left.
23 Aug 2024 22:35:08
Others saying there's a broad agreement around 22/ 23m with addons to be agreed yet so could see a deal done.
Also talk of a loan with obligation for sancho to juve.

Sounding more and more like Scott will leave. Sancho has been dropped from the matchday squad as well, which seems pretty ominous.

They both need to be moved on asap as well as obvious others that are clearly not up to get us from mid table level where this team currently are to a squad capable of pressing onto top 4 let alone competing for title. Today’s performance prime example of lack of cutting edge up top and poor decisions in basic defending and needlessly giving ball away when playing from back. First team has not sufficiently moved forward.
Ugarte is a must and is poor (disappointing at best) that this deal hasn’t been completed prior to start of season.
Branthwaite should be brought in if finances allow and Lindelof leaves. Possibly Maguire as he’s a “fit” asset.
Ederson who I really rate would be big plus (if SM goes along with Hannibal)
A wide player if sancho and Antony can be moved out in addition to Pellestri.
I’d love to see the club bring in another striker. maybe Toney however unlikely.
I think we a still missing an amount of athleticism, by which I mean pace, height, power, physical presence and leadership. Still too easy to play against and easy to dominate.
However I don’t see too much happening prior to Saturday but want to remain positive and with the manager, management and SJR
Always important game but is MASSIVE now next Sunday, at home, vs Liverpool to set the tone for season ahead.

Seems odd. Rashford yet again anonymous, when we have a decent player like Sancho, who apparently wants to play on true left, not even in the squad.
Now I don’t know what happens behind closed doors and in training, but that seems an obvious solution here.
25 Aug 2024 07:53:05
I'm starting to think, we should've changed the manager not just for the sake of the system/ tactics, but for the sake of some players as well.
25 Aug 2024 09:16:38
Blame the manager again. Rashford still can't be bothered tor in and when he does he is in an offside position. He shouldn't be caught offside so easily, yet he is.
Perhaps Sancho and EtH made up for the sake of it etc as more of a PR thing. The reality is, we really need another top winger this season. Perhaps holding out on players like McTominay may come back to haunt us. Last season Utd turned down £35 million, now, we can get just over £20 million.

I didn't blame just the manager (he had his part yesterday though), I've said that something has to change. And what is the most common thing in football to be changed? Yesterday (even in the game vs Fulham) we saw the team playing like last season, which is very disturbing for me. Some players came in and still the style or lack of it is the same.

ziko87,
I would have kept Mount and Bruno on. I do agree with you about EtH in that respect. With hindsight it's easy to criticise.
The lack of quality on the bench is there to see. Hopefully Garnacho starts ahead of Rashford on Sunday.
25 Aug 2024 10:21:03
Yeah, Mount had a better half than Kobbie, but he had some issues and had to come off apparently.
25 Aug 2024 14:17:04
I do get the feeling that ETH will gone by Xmas and RVN will be caretaker. Just a feeling that’s all.
25 Aug 2024 21:31:44
Eric79, Don't you think is too early to crucify ETH. The league just kick start. There are some team who might some how win their first 6matches but might not make top 4. In my Opinion though, the first 3matches are like pretty season.

Both need go ASAP, sancho has been an attitude disaster and mctominay just isn't good enough. love his attitude but limited. If only sancho and a few more players had Scott's attitude, utd would be in a better place.
