Heard from a friend in Hamburg that he has heard from Felix Nmecha, who he grew up with that Man Utd are seriously planning on going in for him late in the window of they move players out. His agent has already discussed with Utd recruitment reps with an outline deal. Dortmund don't yet know. He is hoping someone else bids and then Dortmund accept so that sets the price lower as they will demand more if Utd are the first bidders because they think we would overpay.

Mr Obvious, I suspect Dortmund might have an inkling. There is a YouTube video captioned "This is why Manchester United want Felix Nmecha. "

Ssssssssh. Keep it quiet. Dortmund don’t know yet! Really…. The mind boggles!

I have it on good authority that those who run Dortmund spend at least 2 hours every day on manunitedrumours. co. uk in order to make sure they do not miss our transfer news/ rumours.

And Dortmund got a friend in Hamburg too! So they are well clued up.

He's the type of midfielder we need, athletic box to box player who'll work hard off the ball and look to progress it forward.
Ederson is the other name we've been most strongly linked with, yet he will likely cost a lot and we might need to look for better value alternatives.
Maybe players like Eliot Anderson or Lamine Camara.

Baleba?
01 Jun 2025 16:59:26
Spenno, Baleba would be the dream signing, but let's be real Brighton will want close to 100m if not more.
He looks better the Caicedo did when he was at Brighton, and he sold for 115m. Which kinda sets the precedent.
No way we can afford anything even close to that.

Baleba will cost more than Ederson and all other names mentioned. Brighton will ask for circa £100m, similar to Caicedo, he is terrific player but to expensive.
My own hope is that we go for Ederson, he is a fantastic player, not just defensively but offensively also. His skillset is perfect for RA, he is also fantastic at pressing.
He would be my first choice for any signing this summer, time will tell. Would be good if Atalanta came in for for someone we are looking to move on and do some deal around that.
Suspect he will end up at City, aaargh.

I didn't have him in that bracket tbh.

No need to be snarky gents, I told you a rumour I heard. That's kind of the point of the site. Dot. Think the attitudes are called for.

Some people can't control their self when armed with a keyboard Captain Obvious.
Great rumour ?.

Utd really need to buy the whole Brighton recruitment staff. Their setup is fantastic.
02 Jun 2025 08:09:43
Oh, the irony of your response, Mr Obvious. It's also a BANTER site, old chap.
02 Jun 2025 09:39:46
Cheers Mr. Obvious. Good post.
02 Jun 2025 14:32:15
Can we just ask Brighton who they would buy to replace Baleba, that said his contract runs till 2028, we might able to afford him by then.

Big fan of Felix Nmecha
He is good at passing as well as being very solid defensively.
