Some rumours that we may be after Willian - not sure about much there is in it or even if he will consider moving to Manchester having had the chance once before. But if we are serious, it would be an astute signing for the RW position. Hardworking, pace, decent finishing. Especially if the sancho fee is as ridiculous as it currently stands. I very much doubt the fee will increase next year and the gaping hole at RW is the only reason for us to pay that amount. WIllian will help fill that gap and allow us to evaluate our options come end of next season.
{Ed002's Note - It would have to be a three year contract for Willian.}
1.) 16 Jun 2020 17:19:07
Are we interested in Willian Ed?
{Ed002's Note - I don't see that Manchester United would offer a 31 year old a three year contract.}
2.) 16 Jun 2020 19:48:06
ED002, you did say they are amateurs.
3.) 16 Jun 2020 19:55:16
Shame. Thanks for the info Ed. We could do much worse.
4.) 16 Jun 2020 21:29:45
If we needed a short term solution Jose Callejón would fill the gap nicely.
5.) 17 Jun 2020 08:11:22
It would be a huge side step from recent transfer policy. No way we’d offer him 3 years. A move to China surely beckons. Rather us play Greenwood there / give Chong more minutes.
6.) 17 Jun 2020 13:32:46
Agree on the 3 year contract - two years tops. We need a first team starter in RW till we can get a long term solution in place. Not sure Chong or greenwood are the answer.
{Ed002's Note - It won't happen then as he has that offer from Chelsea where he wants to stay.}
7.) 18 Jun 2020 10:50:10
We’ll never know unless they’re given a chance. If Bayern are keen on Chong, he just have something about him.
Signing Willian to block their progress would be ridiculous.
02 Jun 2017 09:57:34
Would the AG situation make us see James rodriguez as an option? similar player - not in quality, but possibly ability? If real want degea so bad what do you guys think of a ge gea + £70m for james, kroos and morata? Plus I will not be surprised if we see Zlatan by October, so we may not need a talisman forward so urgently after all.
{Ed025's Note - is that you ed woodward?...come on ryan mate real are not going to buy that..
1.) 02 Jun 2017 10:11:36
i know ed. bit of a stretch. it may be upwards of £100m if we got all 3. On a side note, does anyone know what is happening with rooney? Surely he can't be considering China, although it may be worth it when we see him try to speak mandarin.
{Ed025's Note - now that would be fun ryan...hes still struggling with english!, i expect wayne to leave united this summer and everton could well be his destination but im spending a lot of time in church praying that hes not mate.. :)
2.) 02 Jun 2017 10:21:41
I don't know ed, he may make a decent replacement for barkley in the squad and can have a good impact on the youngsters - davies being one.
{Ed025's Note - if we want our youngsters hanging around old peoples homes looking for top totty then your right ryan.. :)
3.) 02 Jun 2017 10:58:45
Wouldn't take James or Morata. Neither are good enough.
4.) 02 Jun 2017 11:18:29
Morata is definitely good enough what attacker has scored 20+ goals starting mainly in the bench in Europe still younger enough to improve! Just real madrid overprice every single player he's a 25-30mill player at most!
5.) 02 Jun 2017 11:40:07
Morata is actually quite good at Juventus. It's just that Zidane preferred playing Benzema that you people get a bad impression of Morata.
6.) 02 Jun 2017 16:16:22
Morata for me please.

Gotta say. None of the World Cup managers linked with United have covered themselves with glory in the tournament. Ancellotti, Pochettino, Nagelsmann, Tuchel have all been average and managed teams which have not done great. Carrick seems to be a shrewd appointment and saves us a load of grief and pressure if we had appointed one of these.
1.) 15 Jul 2026 23:50:58
You need to separate results from the impact of the manager. I would say Ancelotti achieved about as expected, Pochettino the same, Tuchel over achieved. But, talking about that requires delving into the stats and team strength, expected goals (not xG), and it's too small an audience for that!!
2.) 16 Jul 2026 12:55:13
DonRed, how did Tuchel overachieve? England probably have the 3rd best team on paper and are in the 3rd-4th play offs. I'd say only France and Spain have a better pool of players to pick from.
3.) 16 Jul 2026 14:12:15
England had Saka injured, have a very ordinary defence, and lack creativity. I think you are massively overestimating the strength of that England squad.
4.) 16 Jul 2026 15:19:13
That was down to the manager's selection and not the pool of players available to him. Foden, Palmer, Trent would have solved the creativity issues. Hall/Shaw and Trent would have made the defence better. I stand by England having the 3rd best pool of players to pick from in the world, and they achieved the bare minimum with it.
{Ed001's Note - why does no one even mention Gibbs-White? He was the best English player at the end of the season.}
01 Sep 2025 20:51:00
A very good window. Possibly the best we could have had given the pitiful financial state of the club and the massive leverage the bomb squad had over us.
Now 5 players in the starting 11 will have been bought for this manager and system. The remaining 6 include some very good players such as Yoro, Bruno and Amad who would not look out of place in a top 4 side.
The top 4 from last year have strengthened well, but we were never in contention anyway. Newcastle, Villa have gone backwards - could work in our favour.
With one game a week, top 7 must be a minimum. Many managers will do more with less.
1.) 01 Sep 2025 21:15:49
Newcastle have been unlucky. They outplayed Liverpool and deserved to win.
2.) 01 Sep 2025 22:15:42
Newcastle have had a pretty good transfer window. Obv losing Isak is a big blow but they have brought in four other really good players which will boost their squad and team as a whole.
3.) 02 Sep 2025 00:30:01
In the last 4 years the team finishing 7th has lost between 11 and 14 games, if we are thinking 7th is about right we really need to stop the nonsense overreaction to every bad result. We will lose games, if we didn’t we would be challenging for the title, the extreme reaction to every defeat is crazy and needs to stop.
04 Jun 2024 20:16:18
In other news looks like Man City are suing the premier league… who saw that coming?
1.) 05 Jun 2024 11:51:18
Totally predictable. In football terms attack is the best form of defence. I have no idea if what City allege is factually correct but the timing of their challenge is suspicious. why wait til now to make it. Or is that just me being cynical thinking that it has something to do with the charges they face themselves.
2.) 05 Jun 2024 16:04:08
--------------Take it to the Manchester City page-----------------
26 Nov 2023 21:43:05
Whoever is going to be recruiting for SJR should have Olise and Evan Ferguson top of their list.
On a side note, it’s great to see Mengi, Chong, Garner and Elanga doing well in the top flight.
Also Robbie with a K seems like he has been playing for the Barcelona first team for years… what a performance. Garnacho Holjund Kobbie all bode well for our future. Shame about Greenwood.
1.) 27 Nov 2023 04:28:02
Greenwood' loan ends in january I believe. Hope we keep him, he might do a good job in the RW/ ST spot.
2.) 27 Nov 2023 06:58:46
Greenwood is the best talent we have produced in the last 20 years and that came from a very senior united person at the FA cup Final sponsors event I went to.
If we ignore the off the field issues, he is at a different level to anything we have. Antony would not be here or get a game if Greenwood was in the squad.
I was thinking 24 months ago the last place we would have thought needed buying for would have been the wings given who was there. Now we are playing rash on the right wing, which is not his natural position because we are short of options.
I know its not a popular opinion but I would have him back and reintegrate him. He is better than a new 100 mill signing imo and you never know what you will get with a new signing. Greenwood, Hoiland, Rash/ garnacho would be fun to watch and probably scare the living hell out of teams and good luck defending that.
3.) 27 Nov 2023 07:09:16
I'm sure it was a season long loan deal.
4.) 27 Nov 2023 09:32:16
Ahmad, your last paragraph is why he was loaned and not let go.
I think you’ll see him in a United shirt again. I won’t comment further on whether that’s right or wrong as that debate has been had many times on here.
5.) 27 Nov 2023 10:12:25
Does anyone actually know what the plan is regarding Greenwood? Any inside info?
6.) 27 Nov 2023 11:05:44
Caolan
It a possibility especially with the SJR coming in. His contract runs out in 2025 and we have an option to extend for one more year. There is a lot of time for the club to decide what's next.
Personally I rate him higher than Rash and Garnacho. He is a proper two footed slick effortless silky forward/ winger. He also is much better crosser of the ball and will provide a lot more assists.
7.) 27 Nov 2023 11:45:48
Ahmad, it was clear to me they just kicked the can down the road for the next owners to make the final call.
Plenty of PR about him and judge then.
People will point out the moral situation, others will point out it’s a football club first. Tough situation, but as I said above. I won’t be shocked if he’s back.
8.) 27 Nov 2023 11:55:32
I have watched loads of Getafe matches this season, probably only missed one that coincided with a Utd game. Greenwood is slowly improving, his body language is looking good, getting fitter and that club absolutely seem to love him. Maybe a PR spin, but they never pass up an opportunity to gas him up.
On the pitch he takes their free kicks and corners from both sides because he is ridiculously good on his weaker foot. Now up to 4 goals and 3 assists I think. Can't help but feel his stats would be much better if he played in a more attacking team.
9.) 27 Nov 2023 13:39:34
Nevermind, Mad Hatter is right its a season long loan. Nevertheless I still hope Greenwood will play in Man Utd shirt again.
{Ed077's Note - I don't.
Its going to get a lot of people talking, I mean however the situation gets handled. Opinions will flow, headlines galore.}
17 Nov 2023 12:45:39
Looks like Everton will be fired up for their next home game… just what we needed. btw, anyone know what’s happening with Man City’s charges.?
1.) 17 Nov 2023 13:17:10
It's amazing isn't it. I can only imagine due to the significant amount of charges (and possibly more which were not leaked) that it is going to be a drawn out process especially with City's lawyers dragging it out for as long as they can I imagine. Good that the allegations didn't effect City making, sorry, reporting record revenue this week!
2.) 17 Nov 2023 13:26:13
Interestingly, Everton have put in their Club Statement:
''The Club will also monitor with great interest the decisions made in any other cases concerning the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules. ''
The Premier League perhaps have put a lot of pressure on themselves now to follow things up.
3.) 17 Nov 2023 13:30:18
It always seems to be Everton who get shafted. Would not be surprised to see City miraculously escape any wrongdoing.
4.) 17 Nov 2023 13:32:12
Kicked into the long grass after a few brown envelopes changed hands I suspect.
5.) 17 Nov 2023 16:03:05
Praying City do a Rangers but can’t see anything happening to them
How many years have these charges been hanging over them.
6.) 18 Nov 2023 09:46:30
Looks like onana and maybe rash are out. Not great news and pointless injury to rashford given england had already qualified. These internationals are a real pain in the backside.
7.) 18 Nov 2023 13:41:32
We just aren't getting any luck in terms of injuries.
8.) 18 Nov 2023 15:28:06
Well most on here been calling for Rashford to be out of the team so what difference will it make going by that….
Best get used to playing back up keeper anyway with Onana trotting of in January another great bit of forward planning by the headmaster not sure he will be anysort of loss anyway he was only purchased to play out from the back and we given that up already because Martinez injured! More great planning.
9.) 19 Nov 2023 02:35:06
Maze,
We get it, you don’t like ETH, 36th different username to tell us.

He should give us what we expect from Ugarte and help close our games.
13 Jul 2024 11:21:53
We will not be getting Branthwaite and Yoro. Slim chance we get Yoro anyway. Willy leaving means one of Lindelof or McGuire are staying and we have a smaller spending budget.
01 Jul 2024 22:52:52
Fingers crossed Ahmad. Been a while since we had a competent window.
01 Jul 2024 19:39:45
I think the Branthwaite train has passed. It may be Zirkzee, Ugarte, de Ligt in the next couple of weeks. Then look at Rabiot, Ait Nouri and maybe Trevoh Challobah late in the window based on sales. Decent window if it turns to be the case. Good experience and depth across the pitch.
21 Jun 2024 20:50:19
Would actually be a shrewd transfer unless we break the wage structure. Good foil for Mainoo and Mount. Reliable, physical, mobile, left footed.
Ryans left foot!'s banter replies
02 May 2025 21:09:24
Sorry. Lindelof was abysmal. Great win but let’s not change what happened. Casemiro Bruno and McGuire were all really good and carried the team for a lot of that game.
06 Jul 2024 12:23:45
A fully fit Mount, Ugarte and Mainoo isn’t a bad midfield by any stretch. You could argue having Zirkzee will ease the loss of Bruno and help with link up play.
If we were thinking of a straight swap for a similar type of player then Wirtz, Olmo, even Kudus, . Ideally Palmer, but there is no chance of it happening.
04 Jul 2024 06:37:09
Yes was bound to happen. £12 -£15m is a lot for a business making little to no profit. I imagine this is partly funding the renovation to Carrington for the bead counters.
04 Jul 2024 06:32:50
Good shout Bobbie. Have been wanting us to go to a back 3 for ages. Will suit the squad very well. But it’s not the Dutch way and we have an almost all Dutch coaching setup….
02 Jul 2024 08:58:10
He was our no1 target not so long ago as the Ed’s mentioned. Don’t know if that has changed. Would suit us well.
