Hi Ed are any future signings reliant on selling first? Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Not first.}
1.) 28 Aug 2024 13:54:01
Thanks.
19 Aug 2022 13:06:50
Hi Ed is the Casemiro signing a FDJ alternative or are we still looking to sign FDJ or similar player?
{Ed002's Note - it is unrelated.
1.) 19 Aug 2022 13:35:08
Thanks Ed.
2.) 19 Aug 2022 15:23:17
I can't see FDJ deal happening now. If he chooses to leave Barcelona it looks like Chelsea are ready to swoop in. With them being a UCL team, probably the closest team in the league to challenge City/ Liverpool for the title and them being a London team I'd expect to lose out in that battle. Personally I think he'll be staying at Barcelona now, I can't see him cracking.
However, we could see a deal for either SMS or Tielemans who are both closer in profile to FDJ still join the club this summer.
3.) 19 Aug 2022 16:44:18
Although imagine if we do get FDJ over the line, Our midfield will have gone from McFred to FDJ and Casemiro with Bruno/ Eriksen.
4.) 19 Aug 2022 17:43:09
I just hope the club don’t think Casemiro is the solely the answer to our problems. Would be great to see sms or tielemans. Still think RB is a problem and RW/ ST.
5.) 19 Aug 2022 19:44:09
Won’t be popular but they may look at Fred’s performances for Brazil with Casemiro and look to go with that partnership with Fernandes/ Eriksen.
19 Jun 2019 19:14:14
Duncan castles reporting done deal for awb 55m.
1.) 19 Jun 2019 20:03:34
A lot of money if it's true .
Just another example of other clubs having our pants down
Midfield and a striker is were we need to improve
Guess we will find out soon enough what the fuss about AWB is all about.
2.) 19 Jun 2019 20:11:28
Good moan rock.
Or If true, means we’ve nailed one of our major targets for the summer. Young, highly talented right back which was one of our biggest weaknesses.
3.) 19 Jun 2019 20:24:19
Some fans, moan when we don’t spend, moan when we do. Pretty well documented our defence needs a big upgrade.
4.) 19 Jun 2019 20:37:03
Duncan castles isn't the most reliable but if true it's good business in today's market English players are ridiculous in price.
But answer this
Does he makes us better yes
Will he be first choice yes
Hes young English and he had a great season one of the best defenders last season.
Agree with ports I'm not that interested how much money is being spent on the team as long as the players are improving us.
5.) 19 Jun 2019 21:08:37
Great progress if true, a winger and a right back signed already.
Plenty of time remaining to bring in a CB and a CM.
Good window so far. People complain about us not having a plan. Well I like this approach of signing young, quick and exciting players. I don’t care if they’re British or not, I want our players to get me out of my seat.
6.) 20 Jun 2019 00:58:03
I'll be very happy if we do get the AWB deal over the line, looks a very promising player with his best years ahead of him. Hopefully James can go on to fulfil his potential at Utd too. Its midfield that worries me though, we need 2/ 3 players in there and i do think they need be be ready made players who can go straight in to the team. I'm all for signing potential and building a future team but with Herrera/ Fellaini (regardless of our opinion of their quality) and maybe Pogba wanting out we are well short in what is for me the most important area. Mctomminay, Fred, Perreira are good players in their own right but we need world class in there. It'll be hard with no CL but we need to break the bank in midfield.
7.) 20 Jun 2019 08:01:43
I like the look of him but let's be honest it's a massive amount of money for a young lad .
Does he make us better? Only time will tell .
8.) 20 Jun 2019 12:22:33
Does he make us better? Better than Ashley Young? A traffic cone would make us better.
9.) 20 Jun 2019 21:45:24
Wan-Bissaka would be a very good buy for you guys. Prob the only RB who managed to cope with Mane this year. Would be a major upgrade for that position for you. And considering he is british, you have to expect silly money for him.

Hey ed was my clown Radcliffe avatar not allowed?

Thanks ED!

The club are getting exactly what they deserve.
Most likely 3 managers in a season.
Getting an interim in is ridiculous we don’t. Have the time to wait and waste a good foundation we have made this season. Teams are dropping points around us we have a genuine chance to get a champ league spot this season.
This whole delay in appointing an interim is to make them look like they are competent which we all know they aren’t.
There are managers available now which could have at least been looked at. I’m now leaning to the fact they want the interim to do well so they can keep him in summer and then they have the yes man and they can lean on. When that goes all wrong they again will take no responsibility.
1.) 11 Jan 2026 18:59:33
This is all on wilcocks and the board. the club is a right mess created by them. This last week has been shameful by the board. Unfortunately its us the supporters that have to suffer. when you think they can't get worse at running the club they pull something ridiculous out the hat. wilcocks is toast at utd now. Ego big baby.
2.) 11 Jan 2026 19:06:18
We're back to playing like we played under ETH. Wide open in the middle. Prone to players getting to the end line and setting up easy chances with cutbacks. Why? Because we don't have a good central midfield and our fullbacks are terrible. This is why all the nonsense about RA being stubborn in sticking to his formation annoyed the rest of us. We weren't perfect under Amorim, we gave up plenty of goals by individual mistakes but that's because we have some poor players.
We also have some really good ones. Unfortunately by ripping up the script we're going to play a formation that highlights the same weaknesses we had under ETH. I'm incredibly annoyed at how myopic the club has been.
We needed a left wing back. To play a back 4 we need at least two fullbacks and a CM. What an act of self sabotage.
3.) 11 Jan 2026 19:07:45
What happened last time we got someone we supposedly wanted mid way through the season when they wanted to wait until the summer.
If the 'right' (whoever that is) manager is due to come at the end of the season, see the season out as best as possible. There may even be a different hierarchy higher up too.
I wonder if the transfer strategy will be the same too, wait until the summer. If the manager even gets a say in.
25 Oct 2021 15:04:54
Yesterday I did feel devastated by the loss. Today I do feel the right decision is to stick by Ole it's not a time for people above to sack him. There isn't a plan, I don't want a manger that is another stop gap. We need a manager we want, that suits us and can build on what Ole has done so far. I definitely don't feel Ole is a long term solution far from it but the next manager has to be the right fit for the club. I think having a Care taker manager puts pressure on the board if they do well. I think the board should now be thinking of what they should do come the end of the season and thinking of potential candidates.
{Ed0666's Note - maybe Ronaldo can take the helm until you find a manager. He seems to be making most of the decisions anyway. And his minder Bruno can be assistant as he revels in the sidekick role.
1.) 25 Oct 2021 15:26:57
Twenty, you need your head wobbled if you think Ole should continue. The man has not learned a single lesson since he took over 3 years, had an incredible amount of luck and has been given a boat load of money to spend on players.
He serves up absolute crap, week after week after week. Keeping Ole in the job at this stage is quite frankly idiotic.
2.) 25 Oct 2021 15:52:14
Conte, an outstanding candidate is available.
He is a man with ambition and accepts nothing but winning.
3.) 25 Oct 2021 16:01:44
Conte would certainly deal wth the pre madonnas at the club.
4.) 25 Oct 2021 16:11:16
Sack Ole, get an interim until the end of the season. let's be honest the realistic target now is a top 4 finish and an interim could probably still do a better job than Ole. Then we go all in for Erik ten Hag in the summer.
Problem sorted.
5.) 25 Oct 2021 16:13:40
The real problem remains the inept club management. Until that changes things will not improve. Ronaldo has set the clock back further, pinning our hopes on a fantasy. The only chance is a manager who is strong enough to counteract the rotten core that has persisted ever since the Glazers took over.
Is there such a person out there who wants the job? I don't see any saviours. The last time the position was open the best they could manage was OGS.
6.) 25 Oct 2021 16:21:22
Big Sam gets my vote ???.
7.) 25 Oct 2021 16:28:30
How about Mick McCarthey, he’s available and a failed Cardiff manager although he didn’t score a goal 20 odd years ago.
8.) 25 Oct 2021 16:41:09
Conte is not the right choice. You all want short term success and if you want long term success you need a structure like Liverpool or city. Conte is a bit of a mourinho mould. He won’t like the structure at the club he will inevitably fall out with the board and won’t last more than 2 years. He won’t play the football we like either.
Agree shawthing. The club is just run extremely poorly which is why we find ourselves in this position.
Im not pro Ole at all. I just think we need to see the bigger picture.
What you guys are suggesting is exactly what ole was brought in for, it puts the club in a difficult position if that candidate does to well.
9.) 25 Oct 2021 16:42:36
The only way it would work if we had an agreement in place for a manager to take over in the summer prior to hiring a interim.
10.) 25 Oct 2021 16:45:51
Mad Hatter - Out of interest pal who do you think are the prima-donna’s?
{Ed0666's Note - Ronaldo & Fernandes for starters
11.) 25 Oct 2021 16:49:40
Lots of people living in the SAF Wenger era thinking long term. Chelsea with their short term culture have won more PL trophies. Liverpool have won 1.
12.) 25 Oct 2021 16:54:46
Let’s just become the Watford of the north.
13.) 25 Oct 2021 17:06:43
United manager is a poisoned chalice. Ole has gotten us so far. I fully agree with Jamie Carragher that we can’t expect Ole to compete with Pep Tuchel or Klopp. Chalk and cheese.
Carragher admits he was never good for England because rio and terry were just better than him and he couldn’t do anything to get better. It’s the same with Ole.
On a side note, I love Gary Neville but his whole reluctance to accept Ole is the wrong man is becoming his undoing. He was laughed at by everyone in the studio yesterday. Carragher is a much better pundit!
14.) 25 Oct 2021 17:33:40
DLIB,
I'll add to ED0666s list, Pogba, Lingard, Martial, Shaw.
15.) 25 Oct 2021 17:32:52
Ed0666 - I’ve always thought Bruno works very hard however I must agree he seems to have gone rouge. Running around like a headless chicken, pressing on his own and leaving the midfield horribly exposed. He’s acting like a petulant chid. Running all over the place and throwing his arms around blaming others rather than leading. It’s not like him, many wanted him to be our captain. He’s been head and shoulders our best player since he arrived I do wonder what’s gone wrong?
Ronaldo is Ronaldo, play to his strengths or send him back to Portugal.
I’ll have Pogba and maybe Martial but it wasn’t their fault we were 4-0 down at HT yesterday so I’m just interested are the others?
{Ed0666's Note - you have a talented motley crew. It’s obvious no one respects OGS. His half time team talks must just go in one ear and out of the other. He’s the sweetest man in the world but sweet don’t make you winners. You need a nasty son of a bitch who won’t tolerate inflated ego’s with a winning mentality. The obvious and clear candidate is Conte. Yes it will probably end in tears after a couple of seasons but he’s the disciplinarian you need right now to steady the ship because soon enough there will be a mutiny. I truly believe Ole won’t see the end of the week as United manager.
05 Oct 2020 21:28:35
Have it on good authority Judge took plane to London and that gunnersaurus is currently having a medical and signing to be announced shortly.
1.) 05 Oct 2020 21:54:53
Made me chuckle.
21 Sep 2020 22:02:11
Imagine how many players we missed out on because judge had his phone off. You think gaitan and sneijder are still calling it?
1.) 21 Sep 2020 22:56:45
made me chuckle that. Needed it after watching a very emotional uncle pat talk at 2 AM sipping green tea.
What a mess.
12 Jan 2026 20:15:54
We have just signed a midfielder loan til end dof season welcome Michael Carrick.
05 Jan 2026 21:23:28
2toms he’s a rat ?
No I wasn’t suggesting that but they will prob get someone in who g Neville won’t say anything against as it will be an ex team mate. Amorim said in his last press conference that if people can’t handle gnev criticism we need to change club.
It was clearly affecting the Wilcox’s and berradas.
Gnev is happy to spout on about Amorim but never the owners strange that.
05 Jan 2026 19:11:16
First of all I couldn’t disagree more with the club sacking Amorim. I believe he was the man to change us given time and getting in players he wanted. For the club to ignore the need for a dm in the summer over an Additional number 10 was baffling and also predictable.
Knowing how our club is run they will look to make an appointment on the interim that will in their eyes silence any possible backlash and will get someone in the fans would support and also more importantly someone the media won’t go after ie Gary Neville.
We know how silent he was when OGS was in the hot seat.
02 Aug 2025 14:17:27
I completely agree Shappy. He is still young and learning, he had zero service all season the stats back that up. I think with cunha mbuemo around him they will create chances for him. No doubt if he leaves he will score goals and develop into a great striker. Look at how other players have left and done so well.
07 Feb 2025 22:48:07
Maybe we are looking to play him at left back.
16 Jan 2026 15:09:37
It amazes me these so called pundits laud the glasners and iraola’s. Last 2 seasons crystal palace have finished 10/12 and bornemouth last 3 seasons 15/12/9 they are mid table managers.
We should not be looking at these types of managers. I can’t see it inspiring the squad or future players.
We need someone who has been there and done it consistently.
Glasner has won a europa league in Germany that’s it and some would say it’s a weak league. His league finishes in those 2 seasons 11/7. Mid table manager.
14 Jan 2026 16:03:09
Thanks ED!
14 Jan 2026 13:06:49
Mine too.
14 Jan 2026 00:01:09
Only a matter of time ?.
13 Jan 2026 21:33:10
It’s a conversation about him possibly being the next manager? And you are saying he’s done well deserves respect for his achievements of nothing. Southgate did well at beating the likes of San Marino. i would say no top half club who have ambitions to win the league would be looking to employ him actually i don’t think anyone in the league would employ him I really don’t.
His level is championship and I’m not sure he would do great in that league.
