According to Fabrizio and David Ornstein, Bryan Mbeumo has decide to give priority to Man Utd this summer, if it does materialize then our attack is going to look more potent than the one we currently have right now, hopefully Amorin gets his preferred goal scorer then we might be in business next season.
1.) 03 Jun 2025 07:17:29
If this is true, then the club seems to be prioritising well. It would appear that this is the minimum activity the club is targeting
IN: Cunha, Leon, Mbeumo
OUT: Eriksen, Lindelof, Evans, Rashford, Garnacho, Antony, Sancho
Which is a squad then that looks like
GK: Onana, Bayindir, Heaton
CB: Maz / Yoro, MdL / Maguire, Martinez / Heaven, Fredricson
WB: Amad / Dalot, Dorgu / Shaw, Amass, Leon
CM: Cas, Ugarte, Bruno, Mainoo, Kone
10s: Cunha, Mount, Mbeumo, Zirkzee
9s: Hojlund, Obi
I have had to force fit some players in positions that we can debate are not the best fit (Bruno, Mainoo, Zirkzee) and there's a lot that needs to be done to improve this which will get determined by how the market plays out e. g. Bruno stays or goes, does someone buy Greenwood for a big amount, can a new striker be found in what is a pretty shallow market for good strikers who want to play for United.
But on the whole this squad already looks a lot better than what we have currently, and is a sign that we have our priorities straight.
I would personally like the following, after the list above is done
- get a new number 9. Doesn't need to be elite, but someone who can score and take pressure off Hojlund (i think he deserves time till Xmas) . David from Lille, Toney, Vlahovic all fall in my not-elite bucket
- get a new number 1. Onana can be backup or go, i don't really care. Has too many errors and unfortunately his performances don't back up his talk
- sell Shaw and Maguire and buy a new CB
- find good loans / permanent moves for some kids. Think one of Amass / Leon needs a loan, and Collyer (who I like, but clearly RA doesn't) needs a new club.
PS: now waiting for the club to announce new deals for Rashford, Antony, Sancho and Garnacho! :D.
2.) 03 Jun 2025 09:40:23
You wonder whether Zirkzee could play a role similar to Firmino at Liverpool with Cunha and Mbeumo behind him like Firmino did with Salah and Mane.
3.) 03 Jun 2025 11:19:02
@Ports
I've been thinking exactly the same thing. He has the vision and skills to do it but would need the three of them to have great chemistry like the Liverpool trio you mentioned.
4.) 03 Jun 2025 15:53:33
You have to remember Firminio was good finisher himself too, not quite sure Zirkee falls into that category…….
Zirkee needs a move to another league in another country….
5.) 03 Jun 2025 16:44:31
Goals are bigger abroad are they?!
24 Oct 2022 18:31:34
According to Fabrizio Romano, Utd are interested in Jeremie Frimpong, any thoughts? I haven't seen him played yet, is he a striker?
1.) 24 Oct 2022 19:30:26
No mate, he is a right back, ex man city youngster.
Been in Germany 2 years and performing very well, scored 5 league goals in 11 games this season, very good going forward, pretty quick.
Seemingly a fair bit of interest in him from some big clubs.
ETH is apparently very keen.
Hope this helps a bit.
2.) 24 Oct 2022 20:08:38
Forgot to mention, he's Dutch! Fancy that.
3.) 24 Oct 2022 21:59:08
Dutch? He's 100% a target then ?.
4.) 25 Oct 2022 12:05:37
Thanks I want our trophy back, yep you've been very helpful, I thought he was a striker because in my eyes is what we desperately need right now.
5.) 25 Oct 2022 10:12:53
He was at Celtic for a couple of seasons so ed007 might be the one to ask what he’s like!
{Ed007's Note - Frimpong was only a kid and was a bit rough round the edges. He was seriously rapid but was better going forward than defending, he was voted our young POTY when he was here and we were all a bit surprised by the fee we got for him. I've seen him play a few times since he left us and his defending has improved.}
17 Aug 2022 22:11:44
Is Elon Musk buying Utd? He tweeted that, is he being serious?
1.) 17 Aug 2022 22:25:13
No, he is joking.
2.) 18 Aug 2022 01:15:30
K listened to a podcast earlier that said if Elon Musk if tweeting about buying Man United (even if he joking he is) he is as as aware they are for sale. If you as selling something those who can afford it will have been told. Make of it what you will.
{Ed001's Note - the podcast are talking bollox. He said it because he knew it would get him publicity on a massive scale, nothing to do with whether it was up for sale. The guy is just a publicity whore, that is why he is so rich, because he knows how to milk the limelight.}
3.) 18 Aug 2022 01:31:08
Well good to know. I did get suspicious when he said I can't say who told me this etc. Like some CIA agent. Mind some of what he said is true. The club is rotten to the core and we have owners who are basically asset striping the club .
{Ed001's Note - the club might very well be up for sale, I don't know, but I do know Musk's tweets and they are just based on what is going to get him talked about. So it would not be because he had info the club is up for sale that he tweeted it. It would just be because United are all over the news.
The fact that Ratcliffe has gone public over his interest would suggest it is not up for sale or he would be more likely to just start discussions direct with the Glazers. He would not want to get drawn into a public auction in case it lifted the price up. No one but the Glazers would benefit from a public sale process and even they might suffer as a lot of potential buyers would not be interested in getting involved in that kind of situation.}
4.) 18 Aug 2022 01:36:23
Oh sorry to post this again, . but had a full length conversation tonight with my mate, on who as a neutral ( he a Sunderland fan) would you choose as the manger of Man United to be your captain. Took him an age and said Varane (if he was fit for every game) it's a major issue I keep bringing up. Not one leader in the squad.
{Ed001's Note - I can't think of one either. Certainly wouldn't want Varane as a captain personally, even if fit. He has never shown an iota of leadership potential.}
5.) 18 Aug 2022 02:08:59
I am one for a conspiracy theory, do you think the likes of the Glaziers and the billionaires of the world, help each other out. So Musk, Ratclffe ( both I don't think need publicity) discuss things like this to boost the price of what they own ( I scratch your back you scratch mind mentality) Musk does it in a way he always wins in the long-term. I personally think football will turn out like the NBA and do drafts for players. It certainly needs something (been a united fan would love to win every year) but some leagues (Scottish, French, German) these leagues have the same top two every year, I know this happened before, I just can't see any European league having any other top 3 each season for a long long time. The money gap is bigger than ever.
{Ed001's Note - quite the opposite. Most of them see each other as rivals.}
6.) 18 Aug 2022 07:47:18
Kev that would be stock manipulation and illegal. Musk likes to insert himself in whatever is the hot topic. He is brilliant at what he does but also a wind up merchant who gets a kick by the media frenzy when he says something.
7.) 18 Aug 2022 08:35:45
ED001
If it was for sale it would definitely be run like an auction. That's how you get the best valuation and bids. we do this very often and just got chopped on something unrelated to football in the penultimate round. There were 4 rounds and each round bidders got dropped based on their bids and attached conditions. its going to PIF's from what I understand.
The Glazers are poor owners in terms of knowing how to run a football club and the structure they have put in but when it comes to something like this I suspect pretty smart and will not leave anything on the table.
I personally think getting PE firms involved in football clubs is a terrible idea because of how we look at deploying capital and the end goals, which is generally an exit date where you think you are at max profitability and get max valuations and payout since your capital raise from investors always has a redemption period.
{Ed001's Note - I very much doubt anyone would get involved in an auction like that for Manchester United, due to the emotional attachments people have to clubs. It will be similar to the way they bought it themselves - someone coming in and just hoovering up all the shares they can get and gradually picking off direct from the Glazers as they look for funds for other projects.}
8.) 18 Aug 2022 09:55:28
Ed- do you think that is the way in for someone like Ratcliffe? Buy a stake now and just through time gradually add and eventually take them over?
Obviously lots of others could do it but he’s the only real name I’ve seen so far.
{Ed002's Note - No. If Jim Ratcliffe wants to take over he will enquire about availability and then put together a formal offer.}
9.) 18 Aug 2022 10:10:25
Thanks Ed.
10.) 18 Aug 2022 12:02:38
ED002,
Would Utd a good buy for any prospective new owner (s) given the work required at OT and at Carrington etc. Of course this may well be potentially covered in the offer made to the Glazers, to reflect the costs needed for the additional upgrades etc.
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - It would depend on the price and who is interested in buying the club.}
06 Apr 2022 22:26:55
According to Fabrizio Romano, Man Utd board are pushing for Erik Ten Hag, he's approved by Ralf Rangnick and His priority has always been Man Utd.
1.) 07 Apr 2022 10:58:43
Grifter.
17 Jul 2019 14:51:34
If we going to sign Maguire is best to do it as soon as possible and have him on the squead this week so the club can focus on the next signing ( hopefully a midfielder) then a right winger. we need to speed up the process, this new players need to gel with the rest of the squad specially players coming from other leagues.
1.) 17 Jul 2019 15:12:53
I'm sure everybody involved with the transfer is aware of that. These things take time. It's not like buying a packet of fags.
We should take however long is needed to get the best deal for us.
2.) 17 Jul 2019 15:33:08
still 3 weeks to go. we want the right deals nothing needs to be rushed.
we could have the perfect window if reports are to be true
wan bissaka
maguire
savic
bruno
james
and dave signing a new deal
and possibly longstaff
if come the end of the window with all of the above we would have improved the team massively
im still expecting some players to go.
im not sure we will go for a RW this window and i don't think we would replace lukaku
and if pogba goes we need another cm.
3.) 17 Jul 2019 17:43:44
Must admit, I was a bit surprised to see him come on for Leicester in their latest friendly. I know Leicester can't be expected to put everything on hold just for our benefit, but maybe it's not quite as close as we thought.
4.) 17 Jul 2019 17:51:45
Wazza's not bought a pack of ciggies for awhile. You now need photo i'd with proof of age, a doctors note, and to sign 67 page disclaimer in triplicate.
5.) 17 Jul 2019 19:18:39
Really Mort, I thought you just had to pick your favourite picture on the packets behind the cabinet.
6.) 17 Jul 2019 19:53:19
Sky just reporting we are looking at another centre back if Maguire they didn’t say who it was though.

Welcome to Manchester United Mbuemo, I hope the club now focus their attention in getting another midfielder and a keeper.
1.) 19 Jul 2025 07:57:41
CF first, then GK, followed by a CM.
07 Jul 2024 15:14:04
Is it me or Luke Shaw looks like he gained 10 lbs?
1.) 07 Jul 2024 16:38:06
Wide screen TVs do that to you.
2.) 07 Jul 2024 19:00:10
No, you’ve just not seen him for a long time ?.
3.) 07 Jul 2024 20:47:13
Love it Wazza.
06 Nov 2023 20:43:05
Idk about you guys but I think we should have signed Maddison instead of Mount?
1.) 06 Nov 2023 22:28:02
Maddison is a much better player than Mount, but he'd be a Bruno replacement. I'm not sure if Mount can be a CM for us but Maddison I'm sure can't.
2.) 07 Nov 2023 07:39:09
But Maddison could play wide, I think he did that at Leicester, or Bruno could play deeper, as he did in some matches last year. But in general, yes, they are playing in the same position.
3.) 07 Nov 2023 09:14:36
Madison better for the team than Fernandes by far.
4.) 07 Nov 2023 17:02:18
Easy to say at this point, but if it was ever an option Maddison all day long.
The signing of Mason Mount is a riddle, when other positions were far more pressing. Weren't they even talking about priorities? To be fair, no-one expected the entire defence to be wiped out a few weeks later.
5.) 08 Nov 2023 07:34:01
I have always thought Maddison is a really good player but people say he has a bad attitude. He definitely has more goals in him than mount. I agree though that they are not the same type of players and Maddison would be a Bruno replacement on the pitch. He is definitely more creative than mount and I am sure his stats will back that up.
If we are going to buy a long term replacement for Bruno, Wirtz from Leverkusen is a wonderful talent but will probably cost a fortune. at 20 he is better than Bruno imo and not wasteful and takes care of the ball and great IQ for a 20 year old.
14 Jun 2023 23:48:05
So opening bid for Mount have been rejected by Chelsea. Thoughts?
1.) 15 Jun 2023 01:20:19
Testing the water bid. Chelsea want a lot more than man utd want to pay. Ed002 is often very good on Chelsea info, and says they don't need to sell. I think we will try to be firmer with our valuations this year, we cannot continue to be played like tunas by every club out there. The only way we get our reputation back is by communicating well, clearly and being prepared to walk away when the price goes over our valuation.
2.) 15 Jun 2023 09:26:40
United and Mount are in the driving seat.
Mount is pushing for the move.
Chelsea either sell this window or loose him for nothing next year.
3.) 16 Jun 2023 12:55:25
My thoughts are that United will have to up the offer to get Mount.
13 Feb 2023 13:37:58
Am I the only one who thinks Garnacho is going to stay at Utd 1 or maybe 2 more years tops then off to Real Madrid? I see another Ronaldo situation happening with him.
1.) 13 Feb 2023 15:27:23
Have you spoken to him then? Or his agent? Parent? Neighbour? Ed002?
2.) 13 Feb 2023 16:09:15
I wouldn't be stunned, but that's how it goes sometimes.
Players are transitional, some play for the for a short time, some for a long time. But they all leave in the end one way or another.
I don't expect players to spend their entire careers with us. All I want to see is them doing their best for us while they play for us.
3.) 13 Feb 2023 16:33:46
@badredevil not at all, it's just that I see a lot of arrogance in his celebrations same way Ronaldo used to do it and I think he is just here to get his dream move. I hope I'm wrong though.
4.) 13 Feb 2023 19:42:19
If he plays well enough that top clubs want him he'll have done for himself and the club can get a handsome profit.
5.) 13 Feb 2023 20:53:22
Nothing wrong with his arrogance. I like it even more when it’s celebrating a goal ?.
6.) 13 Feb 2023 22:45:33
Arrogance never did King Eric any harm.
{Ed014's Note - well apart from when he kung fu kicked that dickhead in the crowd! ??
7.) 14 Feb 2023 12:20:10
Ed014,
It was brilliant though, that idiot did deserve it. The Lee Sharpe story about that match is brilliant aswell.
{Ed014's Note - it was mate and he did, not read the Lee Sharpe story, will have to look that up!
8.) 14 Feb 2023 15:53:51
Ed014,
Worth a read, I think there is a YouTube clip of Sharpe telling his story about that day.
{Ed014's Note - I’ll check it out mate, thanks. ??
9.) 14 Feb 2023 22:48:09
They is a You Tube clip where Sharpe is doing on of those audience with type things when he tells this story. You can just imagine all the characters saying the things he says they did.
26 Sep 2024 15:48:01
Hi Ed, Is it true Ole was asked if He'd accept to return to Utd as manager?
{Ed002's Note - By a journalist - not the club.}
14 Nov 2022 21:59:04
Thanks Ed ?, I feel Erik Ten Hag didn't want Ronaldo but it was imposed to him by the owners, too bad to see Ronaldo leaving like this but I don't think he is being fair to Ten Hag with his comments, let's hope the club finds a solution asap as this distraction needs to end soon.
{Ed002's Note - It will be complicated by money but I suspect a way out in January.}
14 Nov 2022 20:06:13
Is Chelsea one of those clubs trying to sign him Ed
?
{Ed002's Note - Many clubs have been approached but nobody will be trying to sign him until they understand the situation the amateurs face and what they want to do.}
04 Nov 2022 17:18:24
A CF should be the priority IMO.
25 Oct 2022 12:05:37
Thanks I want our trophy back, yep you've been very helpful, I thought he was a striker because in my eyes is what we desperately need right now.
01 Aug 2025 18:45:34
@East Stand Nick lol.
04 Jul 2025 18:24:25
I would send them all to the reserves team, I would tell them if they stay they will not be playing for the first team again. ??♂️.
13 Jun 2025 14:58:51
What happened to Mbuemo?
16 Oct 2024 07:04:46
@Keefyt143, I agree.
02 Sep 2024 14:00:11
I want to see more of Collyer this season.
