Just want to thank Ed002 and all the other Ed's for another window full of information and updates. I know you get asked repeated questions over and over by fans desperate to get blow by blow updates. We really do appreciate the time spent and knowledge shared each window.
Hope you get a well earned rest before the first post asking for lists for January start showing up!
{Ed002's Note - Thanks. We appreciate it.}

10.) 02 Sep 2022 21:06:44
Couldn’t agree more thanks to all involved, really look forward to scanning this site daily fantastic feedback back constantly, all the years I’ve been on here I trust nothing without you lot confirming.
11.) 04 Sep 2022 19:46:26
So, Ed002. January. what's happening? ?.
21 Mar 2020 22:26:27
Rumours of Auba to Utd. No idea if this is now just crazy time due to lack of content. But I have to say, that would be an excellent signing for us. Last year with Arsenal, so they may be tempted to cash in. Almost has the feels of an RVP but he's not quite so deep into his career.
He would be an upgrade on Martial as a 9. Scores goals for fun. What do you all think, would you take him?
1.) 22 Mar 2020 10:38:16
Rumours started last summer when Andy Goldstein from talksport said he was told Utd were in for him so maybe there is something in it who knows. Good player though wish he wasnt as old as he is.
2.) 22 Mar 2020 10:54:42
I think we're done buying older players on high wages. He's a fantastic player but you'd imagine he'd demand Sanchez type salary. Just doesn't seem to go along with Solskjaer's plan.
3.) 22 Mar 2020 12:02:02
I'd prefer lacazette to be honest. Although he's seemed a bit off this season.
4.) 23 Mar 2020 11:10:01
I would rather save the money and buy ighalo and spend the big money on right wing, cm, pogba replacement and pacey centre back.
5.) 23 Mar 2020 12:03:35
Thanks for replies guys. I think that Auba allows us to play how we have been playing, direct and very dangerous on the break, but hs also makes runs in the 6 yard area like a striker. He can score headers with more consistency. Depending on fee he could be interesting. Not for silly money either in transfer or wages.
6.) 26 Mar 2020 16:05:39
who is Auba?

Good win at this stage of the season. Brentford play some good football, and I'm sure if we had a half decent center midfielder we would have added a player in there to help clog up their play.
They scored a worldy, but you can't argue they deserved at least one goal given their chances. Lammens was superb. Casemiro superb. My god, how do we replace him?
1.) 28 Apr 2026 09:07:12
Good win, as in it's 3 vital points. However, there's no escaping the fact that, at times, we were very poor, and could just as easily have lost that match. We need a very good summer window!
2.) 28 Apr 2026 09:19:15
I thought Mainoo had a really good game as well. His tackling was first class last night.
3.) 28 Apr 2026 09:35:25
Agreed, DB.
We just keep getting results, thankfully. Big game v Liverpool next week.
4.) 28 Apr 2026 12:13:29
Big game in what way? We will finish in the top 5 now. Even if we didn't get another point, the job is done. It's against Liverpool, and we always want to beat them, but realistically both teams are finishing 3rd - 5th, so there will be as little pressure on a United v Liverpool game as there ever could be.
5.) 28 Apr 2026 15:33:18
It's a big game in energy, easy, gds2. It's Manchester United v Liverpool. There is no bigger game, imo. Huge game no matter what the circumstance is in the table.
6.) 28 Apr 2026 15:47:58
It's the most viewed match in the world from time to time, GDS. Some years even more than the Champions League final. It's a huge match.
7.) 28 Apr 2026 17:36:39
GDS, surely you are pulling our chain, right? It's the dippers, you can't be serious. ?
8.) 28 Apr 2026 17:44:23
Aww c'mon, GDS2. It's Liverpool.
Had a mare there, fella. ?
9.) 28 Apr 2026 18:20:25
Sorry GDS, not a big game at all. Only against Liverpool. ?
10 Apr 2026 13:26:02
Win against Leeds, and we should be good for UCL. Drop points and we may get a bit nervy in the run in. We've had and eternity to wait for this game, so I hope we show up and do the business with a convincing win on Monday night.
We have not played well in our Monday games this season, so they need to focus and get their heads in gear for a Leeds team getting dragging into trouble at the bottom.
1.) 11 Apr 2026 09:34:31
Oh, what happy days if we can have any part in sending Leeds down into the Championship. A state of deep joy will ensue.
2.) 12 Apr 2026 11:25:21
Fizz
I don't have the extreme animosity to Leeds of others, don't hate anyone, although the present PM is pushing it. In terms of Leeds, maybe when young in the early 70s, watching Clarke, Mick Jones with arm in a sling in the Cup Final, meant I didn't hate them. Don't get me wrong, my late brother was at the two semi-final battles in 1970; he told me how nasty it was on and off the pitch. Plus, if you ever go to Leeds and speak to Leeds fans, they hate us with an absolute passion, serious hate.
Still, maybe I think big cities with one club deserve a Premier League team more than a Burnley, even Bournemouth types.
Personally, it's Liverpool and City I don't like for different reasons.
We have to win tomorrow. If it sends Leeds down, fine.
Actually, I think it would be funnier to see Spurs go down. Don't hate them or anyone, but it would be spectacular to see the fallout.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
27 Aug 2025 18:54:39
Media are loving it. They already have the man utd fan base eating out of their hands and salivating at sacking another manager. More clicks and money for them. More years of turmoil for us.
Nobody has any patience anymore. Nobody has any trust in the club to make the changes needed. If you never allow the club to fix the problems, then the problems will never be fixed.
We have to see a project through.
BuT wHat iF it's noT wORkiNG.
Then we keep going and stay the course. We have to give some people proper backing and patience to get us back to the top. They will not always choose the path you would choose!
1.) 27 Aug 2025 19:12:23
24% win rate though DB. I think he's doing a lot of the heavy lifting. He best pray we get through Grimsby with ease tonight.
2.) 27 Aug 2025 22:36:43
Dodgy, I don’t need the media to tell me that Amorim is out of his depth. He has underestimated the PL and the size of the job on his hands.
I feel for him in a way but he has done himself no favours in his stubbornness to stick to one tactic.
He has been by far the worst of the managers in the last 10 years in my opinion.
The way he sat in the dug out tonight during the penalties was a bit pathetic too.

Cunha given number 10 shirt, message to rashford to hurry up and sort his move!
1.) 04 Jul 2025 17:23:20
Sancho, rashford, garnacho, Antony all given extra time to try and facilitate moves. If not they will be welcomed back. Seems like the club are telling them to get going, pity their wages will probably scupper most moves, that and their big egos.
2.) 04 Jul 2025 18:10:18
The problem with open heart surgery is, although you can survive and heal, things are long lasting and never the same.
3.) 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. ??♂️.
4.) 05 Jul 2025 09:35:53
Yes monkey balls and when done well and successfully it improves things considerably.
17 Mar 2026 02:51:09
Rumors are, Je Suis, that over 28 is against new club policy for new signings. Until we sign someone for the first team (not a back up goal keeper, for example), then I think this rumour will continue.
21 Jan 2026 14:29:01
Loftus Cheek or Ndidi.
24 Oct 2025 18:37:01
Notimesoon
Maybe your next persona could be shakesfistatcloud?
19 Aug 2025 01:50:16
We are probably trying to cover his book value so no loss hits our accounts. If he tries to get his wages too, that is an extra 10m plus his book value to avoid loss.
Embarrassed for sancho if noone is willing to pay 30m for them. Say everything really.
24 Mar 2025 21:41:40
Maybe an e-sports team will sign him to play fifa from his sofa?
06 May 2026 00:14:04
Dorgu looks class to me, still very young, bags of energy, makes things happen. He was excellent playing right wing, and can play left and put crosses in too.
We need class CMs, Casemiro leaving, and our squad is already threadbare. Not convinced anyone in our youth is ready to step up, but maybe someone could be 4th choice if it means we get 2 high end players to rotate with Kobbie. I also think we need a left back, banking on Luke Shaw to stay fit is the road to ruin.
He only does that in World Cup years. Maybe Dorgu can be that guy, he certainly has the energy to get forward and back like we desperately miss when Shaw plays.
Imagine Kobbie and Tonali in midfield, Kobbie could get forwards a bit more knowing Tonali is holding behind him. I think he needs a big time player who can be the leader in the most important area of the pitch.
04 May 2026 16:01:54
Maybe RA will help to make Mainoo's career. He had everything very quick and easy, and certainly was not the same player that burst into the scene.
Yesterday, on 86 minutes, Mainoo was caught upfield (after supporting an attack) as Liverpool broke on us. He sprinted back like he was on double speed to everyone else, and got back into dcm position to cover Casemiro, who was out at rightback, making a tackle covering Dalot.
He was not doing that before.
He was floating around the pitch, covering ground, but not max sprints in last 90 mins. Maybe he grew into his body, became stronger? But he was far more physical and influential yesterday than he was a year ago. He can be a top player, he needs to keep these standards up and I think he will.
We still need 2 starting midfielders as a minimum this summer, and another first team player to make 4 genuine rotation CMs.
30 Apr 2026 15:04:14
How many strikers in world football do you think are better now than peak Giroud was?? Not many!
28 Apr 2026 01:38:53
I think Amad had some personal upset this last year, no doubt it has knocked him a bit. He desperately needs a coach to tell him it is his job to create for others first, score second. He has a knack of making things happen, definitely keep and see how he does next year for me.
27 Apr 2026 03:31:59
And Rashford.
