Kone medical expected over weekend, expect it to be announced early next week. Club will look to move thashford on next for Summerville, although not against keeping him if Carrick fancies him pre season.
Neco Williams of Forest is under consideration, but no talks of yet.
His agent has said he would be open to the move, but Forest have offered new terms.
After that we will be done in regards to senior players incoming. Carrick wanted deals done early so he can have somewhat of a pre season with them.

5 days ago, You said personal terms agreed for him, not a single word about that from the reliable journalists. Now he's even about to do medical...
2.) 16 Jul 2026 16:03:57
Kone rumours agent led.
3.) 16 Jul 2026 16:31:12
I've heard the opposite: United are absolutely not interested in Kone. It's difficult to know what is truth, what is clickbait, and what is deliberate misinformation from agents.
4.) 16 Jul 2026 19:17:02
Villa are in for both too, so I'm not sure anything is agreed.
5.) 16 Jul 2026 22:56:21
Villa have/are about to sign Gomes.
6.) 17 Jul 2026 14:37:47
I like Tielemans but wonder if Villa have got a better deal selling him and buying a younger version with more years ahead of him.
7.) 17 Jul 2026 15:35:28
Interesting point, Salford. Proven quality over potential. We have bought potential in Santos, so I am cool with the addition of Tielemans.
We bought EPL-proven quality when we bought Cunha and Mbuemo, supplemented with the potential of Sesko. I am liking the balanced approach.
8.) 17 Jul 2026 18:46:14
Tielemans and Gomes are the complete opposite.
One a ball-player, one a destroyer.
Carrick wants footballers.
11 Jul 2026 01:02:38
Personal terms agreed with Kone. He wants to join and the deal will be done after the World Cup, provided he passes his medical, of course. Fee of around 46 million pounds should be enough, maybe a few add ons. Summerville will be worked on next.
1.) 11 Jul 2026 07:40:58
I'd true.
No coincidence that we've found an issue with Ederson if Kone is available?
2.) 11 Jul 2026 08:18:19
Manu Kone has had more than his fair share of injuries.
Personally, if Ederson isn't going to happen due to something in his medical, then Joao Gomes would be top of my choices as a similar player.
3.) 11 Jul 2026 10:13:14
Don't know much about Kone. But, I did see he started for France in the quarter final. If he starts for France, he must be half decent.
4.) 11 Jul 2026 10:30:36
Kone's injury record is concerning. You can't expect it to get better all of a sudden.
I wouldn't go after these injury-prone players. We already have enough in our team.
I don't care about his talent.
5.) 11 Jul 2026 11:55:33
Shappy, I agree regarding Gomez. I have actually heard that his move to Atletico Madrid collapsed, and we are in for him again, as he was one of the top targets. Kobbie, Kone, Santos and Gomez would be some high energy options in midfield.
Energy is something we've been lacking in midfield for a long time. If you can get Kone, Santos and Gomez for around 150 million, that is brilliant business.
6.) 11 Jul 2026 13:38:26
High energy is probably the last thing I'd call Mainoo.
7.) 11 Jul 2026 13:51:58
I checked his injury record. Didn't look that bad to me.
8.) 11 Jul 2026 14:00:28
Jd123, he actually was when Carrick came in. I was lucky enough to go to 4 or 5 games in the 2nd half of the season. Yeah, he's not the fastest, but he doesn't stop running, you just don't always see it, especially on TV.
9.) 11 Jul 2026 14:28:49
Kone would be an excellent signing.
Him and another physical specimen as the 6 options.
Mainoo and Santos as the technical 8 options.
Bruno and Mount as options at 10.
Thank God Ederson seems to be out of the picture. I've never been as sure that a United signing wasn't good enough as I was with him.
10.) 11 Jul 2026 14:30:04
Also, checked reports, so many conflicting ones again. We've approached him, he's going to Arsenal, he's coming to us, take your pick.
11.) 11 Jul 2026 14:45:07
Jd, he was. Next to Casemiro, he had to be. In fact, he was very energetic and very aggressive in the last part of the season. He surprised us all.
12.) 11 Jul 2026 15:27:02
Given our data-led recruitment model, his injury record will be flagged as very worrying.
Very unlikely signing. More likely J.
Gomez and Alex Scott.
13.) 11 Jul 2026 23:56:57
His recurring injury was a thigh problem which he's had an op for, and so far seems to have fixed it. He did suffer a hamstring issue, but that's par for the course for most players; usually fine as long as it's not a tear. He came back too early, but now again seems healed.
Main reason Ederson failed was due to his knee.
Knee injuries end careers, Rossi for example. Muscle injuries can be treated by operations, but not always successful.
Again, United will want to run the rule over him and will pull the plug if anything is flagged. If the deal's off, expect Berge to be the next target. Gomes is of no interest at this moment.
14.) 12 Jul 2026 17:37:18
I personally would take one of Kone or Gomes and sign Guimaraes. I think Santos, Bruno G, and Kone / Gomes would be excellent business.
Perhaps make Newcastle an offer of Bruno G and Lewis Hall for 150M.
15.) 12 Jul 2026 19:14:12
Joao Gomes won't happen.
He's tiny. You can't possibly have him, Mainoo, Santos, and, say, Alex Scott as your four midfielders in the Premier League; they'd be eaten alive. Not to mention how many goals we'd concede from set pieces.
Our big midfielder signing needs to be a big old unit.
16.) 13 Jul 2026 09:56:35
Downsie, What do u mean by tiny? As in height? Gomes is 1.76m, which is taller than Kante and Makelele. Santos is 1.8m, which is Roy Keane's height. I really do not understand why you'd think they'd be eaten alive. Do you want another Fellaini?

The World Cup is scripted, Argentina will win it and Messi will win the golden boot, check back to this post at 10pm.
1.) 19 Jul 2026 21:16:00
I hope the team that plays the best football wins.
2.) 19 Jul 2026 22:36:13
Checking in at 22.35. ?♂️?
3.) 19 Jul 2026 23:12:09
Woeful final. All that is bad about football.
4.) 19 Jul 2026 23:27:56
Devlin, between signings and predictions you're not doing so well.
5.) 20 Jul 2026 12:53:04
Worse final in world cup history, created by the antics of Argentina. They were shameful throughout and after..even messi started in trying to get a player sent off, which I've never seen him do. But some of the Argentina players, wow just down right nasty talentless thick thugs, unfortunately one of them plays for us. Hope United get rid in the next 4 weeks
6.) 20 Jul 2026 13:28:34
I don't believe Licha was involved in any of that. He played tough but fair when he was on the field. Some of you are really going overboard on him. It's turning into nasty, jingoistic rhetoric, and it's as unpleasant to read as some of Argentina's play in the final.
Fwiw, I think the final was a completely different level from the semifinal. The ref didn't get a handle on it. More akin to the Paraguay - France game imo.
7.) 20 Jul 2026 14:23:35
Hey Devilin,
I've got a broken watch you can have if you like? That way, at least you could be right twice a day. Or we could track down the octopus for you? ?
