JJ Gabriel has told Man United that he wants to leave the club and wants his registration cancelled immediately.
Who can blame him.

Well, based on the club's stance, we only want players who want to play for us, excluding Rashford, that is.


2.) 15 Sep 2026 16:37:33
Twenty, Brilliant!


3.) 15 Sep 2026 17:27:13
The rumour is he's going to City... lol, it just gets better.


4.) 15 Sep 2026 18:31:02
We've taken quite a few youth players from City, Arsenal, etc. recently. So, can't really complain when it goes the other way, I guess.


5.) 15 Sep 2026 19:18:55
When I said a few weeks ago, if he was not put in the squad and given some minutes, he would be off, you all told me I was crazy when I said he would be gone if not. Ken, you listening?


6.) 15 Sep 2026 19:33:33
I would be surprised if this is to do with minutes on the pitch for a 15yr old.


7.) 15 Sep 2026 19:37:18
It's indicative of how poorly managed the club is and how it is perceived by some players.

If he goes on to fulfil his potential, we will regret this, but he is only 15, and potential does not always turn into reality.

Ultimately, the club will survive his leaving, but the reputational damage to the academy will take a while to heal.



He must have been tapped up by many clubs, and if he cannot see himself performing and winning within the next few years at Utd, I understand his motivation.


8.) 15 Sep 2026 19:40:58
#freejjgabriel
Let him go. It's the same reason I was against Mainoo. You can't be calling the shots at 19, or, in JJ's case, 15 yr old. Do we want attitudes like that? Is it a good look for the club to be pandering to a 15 yr old? How many players have been the next Messi at that age, and ended nowhere.


9.) 15 Sep 2026 20:16:29
I'm with twenty in this. You can't be having a 15-year-old and his family call the shots. I think the club have shown their faith in him, by playing up the age ranges. He has made a senior appearance, albeit in a pre-season game. He was supposed to be in the squad tomorrow for a competitive game, and no doubt would have got a kick, even for the last few minutes.



I don't think this damages the club or the academy's reputation at all. It's someone who has had too much exposure too soon, and it's clearly gone to his head.

One thing players need to remember is that the badge on the front of the shirt is bigger than the name on the back.


10.) 15 Sep 2026 22:37:13
Jsu, you got it spot on, and I didn't argue with you that he would be off; I argued that at q5 it's unlikely that he will play him too early. If he wants to go, and he did try to leave a year ago, then that's his prerogative.
I think he should have been in squads, and in and around the qst team more, no doubt, and get the chance to prove himself with them more often than he has.
There are some freaks of nature. He could be one.
I hope he goes on to be great. The potential is there, by all accounts.


Massive shame to lose him, but he wanted to move last year, and he obviously has a better offer on the table. Massive loss, and it doesn't look like it's going to change. The mind boggles sometimes, looking from the outside, as to how this can happen. It's up to the club and manager to make sure they are all on the same page, but they haven't been, for some time obviously.
A 15 yo should not be refusing to train, imo. He is getting bad advice in that regard.


11.) 15 Sep 2026 23:58:38
I worry for the lad, there has been rumours circulating for the last 18 months or so around the club regarding his father specifically, and him growing ever more demanding.

The issue I see is if he will end up at City or Madrid, and won't be any closer to starting regularly for the first team, and then his development will stall as he plays less and less.

There was talk last week that, when he didn't play against Shabba, he would try to force the club to play him with an ultimatum.

I mean, it's fully 5 games into the season, and the 15-year-old has yet to play a minute. I can see why the family has thrown a wobbly..... I feel this was inevitable at some point, given the people around him.


12.) 16 Sep 2026 00:09:32
To all the people blaming the club when it's a case of this lad needs to go if that's his attitude. A 15-year-old can't look after himself for a week, never mind think he's bigger than Manchester United.


13.) 16 Sep 2026 05:29:55
We do not know the circumstances, so we should not be blaming the father, the advisors, or the club. What I do know is some of it is not about mins on the pitch for the first team, it's to do with broken promises, plus some other issues.
The kid is not trying to hold the club to ransom at all.


He could be a generational talent, he might not, but I would have rather we found that out at United, but alas that's not to be, so good luck to him.
But don't barrack his father or the kid without knowing the circumstances.

Rumours about United putting in a bid in January for Adrien Truffert from Bournemouth for 60 million. David Ornstein is the source. Looks a perfect fit for us, good defender and also good going forward. Looks like he cross a ball as well and a perfect age 24.

sim01975

1.) 11 Sep 2026 12:16:56
Whatever your thoughts on Luke Shaw are, he's already picked up an injury and has had a sketchy injury past. A left back is needed.


2.) 11 Sep 2026 12:48:13
It's a shame it wasn't done in the summer window...


3.) 11 Sep 2026 16:21:15
It's generally accepted that, after that horrific double fracture he suffered v PSV in the Champions League, Shaw almost lost his leg due to blood clots, and the injury has affected the muscles in his leg ever since. It's pretty amazing that he came back to the level where he became a regular LB for England, where he performed well. Last season he was one of our top performers. It shows an incredible sense of purpose and desire, and I, for one, have no doubt that there's no way he's skiving off, lazy, or lacking the desire to play. He must be very frustrated. In my opinion, the abuse he gets on this site because of his injuries is utterly unjustified.

Last weekend we began to see some of his attacking prowess when playing behind an out and out LW, performing at a high level, as was Rashford. Does he make mistakes? Of course. All LBs/players do. He got blamed for the 1st goal v Everton, but in reality the opportunity was caused by a weak clearance from the centre of the defence, direct to an Everton player, which left Shaw tucked in towards the centre.

He almost made it out in time, the angle was narrowed, but in the end Lammens was beaten by a perfect shot. Plenty of excellent players at United have been failing. Why? It's because it's a team game. If someone makes an error in build up, marking, or passing, it often leads to exposing a team mate, who then gets blamed. Shaw has been badly let down by the general management and standard of team play, both on and off the field.

That said, it should be obvious to the club by now that, however well he performs, given his age and propensity for injury, we need a quality back up, someone who can take his place immediately and in the future. I doubt Amass will ever be good enough. The fact that we didn't buy anyone over the summer is verging on criminal. It's not like the club isn't aware of his propensity for injury and the causes of it.


4.) 11 Sep 2026 21:46:06
Let's hope Dorgu learns to defend then.


5.) 12 Sep 2026 07:52:29
Good post, Newname.


6.) 12 Sep 2026 11:46:10
Very happy if we get Truffert. Hall has potential, but I'd rate Truffert much higher. Others disagree, but Antonee Robinson would be the other player I think we should look at.


7.) 13 Sep 2026 12:02:39
Leif Davis looks better every time I see him. Not a bad alternative.


8.) 13 Sep 2026 10:11:59
Truffert has always been my personal preferred choice. I like Hall, and he has huge potential, but for me Truffert ticks more boxes of what we need right now. He's more experienced (we have a lack of that throughout the side), he's currently better at defending, and he plays more as an overlapping fullback rather than a inverting fullback. Given the options we have on the left wing and the strength we now have in midfield I feel we need our left back to offer attacking width more than providing midfield solidity.

We also have two right backs in Dalot and Mazraoui who are better at inverting rather than overlapping, and you don't want both full backs inverting as it will make us too narrow.

I doubt we'll be able to get Truffert in January, Bournemouth were adamant that they weren't going to sell any of their key players in the final weeks of the transfer window, and they have no need to sell in January unless we made a silly offer (which we won't under this management thankfully). However, trying to get the deal done in January, even if unsuccessful, should hopefully help us get everything in place to get a deal done early next summer.

If we are going to continue this process of sorting different key parts of the team out in successive summers (attack last summer, midfield this summer), with defence the focus next summer. Then in my opinion it's more important next summer that we get deals done for key defenders early, as defence more than any other part of the team is about how they play as a unit rather than as individuals. So getting those players in early so they can be part of the entire pre-season and start to build that on pitch unity will be important to how successful we are in the first half of next season.

We will need a first choice LB, a first choice top level CB, and a first choice RB, as well as possibly/probably a second CB who can offer experience as a rotation option given that we will lose both Martinez and Maguire at CB and Shaw at LB all of whom are out of contract. I can see us moving on one of Dalot or Mazraoui (more likely Mazraoui).

Meaning our options before we sign anyone will likely be: Dalot, MdL, Yoro, Heaven, Amass, and Dorgu.

Ideally if we can get Truffert that solves LB, personally I'd like to see us signing Michael Kayode from Brentford for RB, then we will need a peak top level CB, ideally a left sided/footed player, and then a second "older" (over 30) CB who can bring some experience and support to the younger lads such as Yoro and Heaven, but whose happy to be a rotation option.


9.) 13 Sep 2026 14:14:41
Kayode is a good shout. Murillo, for me, at CB would be the number one target.


10.) 15 Sep 2026 15:42:08
You actually think we have sorted out midfield?

You actually think we have sorted out forwards?

So, you're saying if you put whoever you like in a completely new back 4, you seriously think we would be pushing for a title and Champions League? With what we have available in midfield and forwards....

I really don't see that at all.


11.) 16 Sep 2026 05:13:41
Looks like Zabarnyi from PSG is going to be available for 60m.


 

 

20 Aug 2026 17:26:19
Few rumours knocking about that we are interested in the Barcelona left back Alejandro Balde.

sim01975

1.) 20 Aug 2026 20:10:38
He had played 168 games for them, but I don't remember him at all. I'm not a big Barcelona fan, but I don't recall him. That may be a good thing!
He is a Mendes client, so Mendes will offer him around to the highest bidder.


2.) 20 Aug 2026 21:57:56
Loan with an option to buy that we have zero intention of using, plus Barca subsidises a portion of his wages.

Like most clubs do to us.


3.) 20 Aug 2026 23:38:30
I think he's being offered on loan. He wants to stay, and Barca would be happy to let him leave. From the little I've seen, he looks defensively suspect.


4.) 21 Aug 2026 08:18:45
Not the LB I'd go for, but if he's the club's choice then I'd be happy to see how he pans out.


5.) 21 Aug 2026 10:41:08
Not good enough for a Barca team in an easier league. Not good enough for us. Positionally suspect.


6.) 21 Aug 2026 14:31:48
He doesn't want to leave Barca. From what I remember he's almost as injury prone as shaw. I'd stay well clear.


 

 

19 Aug 2026 10:52:51
Carlos Beleba fee agreed. 60 million.
I think that's a cracking buy.
Only 22 years old and he has been desperate to come to Man U since last season.
If we managed to get Lewis Hall from Newcastle I would say it's been a cracking transfer window for us.

sim01975

1.) 19 Aug 2026 11:21:33
Where are you seeing that a deal has been agreed. Most reports suggest that they turned down a £60m +£5m bid, but that talks are ongoing.


2.) 19 Aug 2026 12:26:46
Redseven - wher edoes it say that the 60m plus 5m has been turned down?


3.) 19 Aug 2026 12:57:58
My first choice.

Think he will be an excellent signing and exactly what we need.


4.) 19 Aug 2026 14:45:02
Ornstein, who broke the story, said that the bid was below their valuation, and that talks were continuing.

By all accounts, it sounds like all of the parties involved want to make a deal happen, but from what I can see, no fee has been agreed yet.



Hopefully we can get this one wrapped up quickly. The sooner we can get him in and around the squad, the better.


5.) 19 Aug 2026 14:50:35
It doesn't matter, redseven. First bid usually is rejected, it's part of the process.


6.) 19 Aug 2026 18:19:50
It's good news. Seems a much better price and worth waiting for. Well done to those on the recruitment team.


7.) 19 Aug 2026 18:22:07
Carlos Baleba Close – Is a Left-Back Now All Manchester United Need?

Manchester United appear to be on the verge of completing what could be one of the most exciting deals of their summer, with Carlos Baleba close to joining from Brighton.

Sky Sports reports that United are close to a full agreement, with a five-year contract already prepared and the 22-year-old expected to travel to Manchester ahead of a medical once the final details between the clubs are concluded. The overall deal is expected to be worth in excess of £60m.

If United get this completed around that sort of figure, I think it represents excellent business.

Baleba is only 22, already has extensive Premier League experience and gives Michael Carrick something his midfield has been crying out for: power, athleticism, recovery speed and the ability to carry the ball through pressure.

Perhaps most encouragingly, this isn't a name United have suddenly turned to late in the window. Sky Sports says Baleba has remained one of the club's leading targets, with United having enquired about him as far back as the January window.

He would join Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans, completely transforming the midfield options available to Carrick. Tielemans arrived for £35m and Santos for around £50m earlier this summer.

Suddenly United can choose from the likes of:

Baleba – Santos – Tielemans – Mainoo – Bruno – Mount

That is a completely different midfield group from the one United entered last season with.

£60m+ for Baleba? I Think That's Very Good Business

Transfer fees have become ridiculous, but context matters.

United aren't potentially paying £60m-plus for a player approaching 30 with little resale value. They're buying a 22-year-old Premier League midfielder who could conceivably occupy the position for the next seven or eight years.

Brighton's valuation of Baleba was being reported at more than £100m only last summer, when United were also interested but unwilling to go anywhere near that figure.

Getting him now for a figure potentially much closer to the £60m mark therefore looks particularly attractive.

There will obviously be some concern over the ankle ligament injury he suffered during pre-season, but Sky reports that the problem is not expected to keep him out for an extended period.

Assuming the medical presents no concerns, this feels like exactly the type of signing United should be making.

Young.

Premier League proven.

Huge physical upside.

Still capable of improving significantly.

And bought for the team rather than because he is the biggest name available.



So What Do United Need Now?

For me, the priorities have changed considerably.

A few weeks ago I would have said:

1. Defensive midfielder
2. Left-back
3. Striker
4. Possibly left wing

If Baleba signs, I think that becomes much simpler.

1. LEFT-BACK – THE FINAL MAJOR PIECE

This is now comfortably the biggest remaining weakness in the squad.

Patrick Dorgu looks increasingly dangerous playing higher up the pitch, while Luke Shaw is currently the only natural senior left-back.

Dalot and Mazraoui can fill in, but United are back in the Champions League and will be competing across four competitions. Building the season around Shaw remaining available every week would be an enormous gamble.

Sky Sports reported only days ago that United still need a left-back following pre-season, while Carrick has openly said he wants further additions before the window closes.

Lewis Hall

Hall remains my preferred option.

He is 21, English, Premier League proven and has the technical ability to play as a conventional overlapping full-back or step inside and help control midfield.

The problem is Newcastle.

United have already made an enquiry and Newcastle have told them Hall is not for sale.

That doesn't necessarily mean the conversation is finished – particularly this late in a transfer window – but United would almost certainly have to make Newcastle an offer sufficiently large to force them to reconsider.

If the price isn't completely ridiculous, he's the one I'd push hardest for.

Myles Lewis-Skelly

This has now become much more interesting.

The Guardian recently reported that Lewis-Skelly has been offered to United, with Arsenal potentially looking for around £45m.

United are understood to be considering the possibility.

At 19, his upside is enormous.

He can operate at left-back but also has the technical qualities to play in midfield, which gives Carrick another tactical option.

£45m for Lewis-Skelly versus potentially considerably more to persuade Newcastle to sell Hall is a genuinely interesting decision.

If Arsenal are really willing to sell to United, I'd be looking very closely at it.

Antonee Robinson

Robinson remains another credible option and has been monitored alongside Hall.

He would probably provide the most immediate certainty: proven Premier League quality, tremendous engine and excellent going forward.

The downside is simply age profile.

Robinson is approaching 29 whereas Hall is 21 and Lewis-Skelly only 19.

If United are going to spend £40m-plus, I'd prefer them to secure someone capable of owning the position for the next five-plus seasons.

David Raum

The Guardian has also named RB Leipzig's David Raum among the players United could assess.

At 28 he would again be more of an immediate solution than a long-term investment, but he's an experienced attacking left-back and could become relevant if Hall proves impossible and United decide Lewis-Skelly isn't the right profile.

My left-back order

1. Lewis Hall
2. Myles Lewis-Skelly
3. Antonee Robinson
4. David Raum

Hall remains my favourite, but at a reported £45m, Lewis-Skelly suddenly becomes very tempting.



Do We Actually Need Another Striker?

A few weeks ago I would have said yes.

Now?

I'm increasingly thinking no – at least not this summer.

And interestingly, that appears to be where United themselves are heading.

Sky Sports reported that, as things stand, another forward is unlikely, with Marcus Rashford's return providing Carrick with another solution up front.

Rashford has been fully reintegrated under Carrick and travelled with the squad for the final stages of pre-season.

That changes the calculation considerably.

United already have:

Benjamin Šeško
Joshua Zirkzee
Marcus Rashford
Matheus Cunha
Bryan Mbeumo

with several of those players capable of operating centrally.

Šeško should remain the first-choice No.9 and continue developing.

If Rashford genuinely buys into Carrick's project again, there is little point spending another £50m-£70m on a Watkins or Mateta simply to add another body.

Rashford can play through the middle when necessary, Cunha can operate centrally, Mbeumo can move inside and Zirkzee has shown encouraging signs during pre-season.

That is plenty of attacking variety.

Save the money.

Give Šeško the opportunity to become the striker United bought him to be.

Give Rashford a clean slate.

And reassess the position next summer if necessary.



Left Wing Can Wait Too

The same argument applies on the left.

Dorgu has looked increasingly interesting further forward and Carrick clearly sees attacking potential there.

Add a reintegrated Rashford and Cunha's ability to start from the left and suddenly United aren't desperate for another winger either.

That gives them:

LW: Rashford / Dorgu / Cunha
CF: Šeško / Rashford / Zirkzee / Cunha
RW: Mbeumo / Amad

That is a very healthy collection of attacking options.

Rather than buying another winger simply because one is available, I'd rather United wait until next summer and decide what they actually need after a full season under Carrick.



Just Get the Left-Back

If Baleba crosses the line, I'm genuinely struggling to remember a recent United transfer window that has felt this coherent.

United haven't simply accumulated names.

They appear to have identified weaknesses and attacked them.

Andrey Santos adds energy, mobility and enormous potential.

Youri Tielemans adds experience, passing quality and control.

Carlos Baleba would add power, ball-winning ability and athleticism.

Rashford's return potentially removes the need to spend heavily on another attacker.

Dorgu's development further forward provides another attacking option.

Which leaves one glaring hole:

Left-back.

Get Lewis Hall or Myles Lewis-Skelly through the door and, for me, you can shut the transfer window.

There will always be another player supporters want.

There will always be another exciting name linked.

But at some point you have to allow a coach to work with the squad you've assembled.

A final window of:

Andrey Santos ✅
Youri Tielemans ✅
Carlos Baleba ⏳
Lewis Hall / Myles Lewis-Skelly ❓
Marcus Rashford reintegrated ✅

would be an exceptional summer.

Then it's over to Michael Carrick.

For the first time in quite a while, United wouldn't simply have a good starting XI.

They'd have a squad that looks capable of competing properly across the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup.

Get the left-back and let's go.


8.) 19 Aug 2026 19:28:51
I'd agree with a lot of that, Philip.
I'd rather Rashford and/or Zirkzee moved on and we get a dedicated no9 to share the load with Sesko.
But if both refuse to leave, then we can only hope they do better than before.
Hall is very good, imo. Lost his place to Dan Burn towards the end of last season, so not sure what happened there.
Lewis Skelly has said he wants to play in midfield, apparently.

So would he want to come as a lb?
There are other very good options, as you say, and others, so we will get one.
Hall is 1st choice by the look of it, so reassuring is the right approach, as long as they have an option lined up, it might be last-minute. Com, but most of us can live with that without throwing out toys out of the pram.


9.) 19 Aug 2026 22:26:33
Square pegs, square holes required.

If Baleba signs, and I hope he will, he's the best option we could have hoped for this window for the DM role and aid that last week.

We need more specialists now. Left back is imperative. Hall is the only one I've seen play, so can't comment on the suitability of Salinas or Seys.



I do think we need another specialty striker, but I can't see us doing it this summer unless we sign Vlahovic for free and one of Zirkzee or Rashford leave.


10.) 20 Aug 2026 06:13:10
Square pegs, square holes? But Hall was still playing in midfield when he left Chelsea 2 years ago.


11.) 20 Aug 2026 07:20:36
That's probably why he didn't make it at Chelsea as he was played out of position.

Reading a few rumours online that we have been looking into getting a midfielder according to Ben Jacobs.
The rumour is that it is Ruben Neves.

I’ve seen that knit’s NOT Ruben Neves ?.


2.) 16 Jan 2026 15:49:50
Saw that online earlier. Didn’t he say secret midfielder? One with epl experience but not currently playing there. The inference was then that it’s neves as Jacob’s is the Middle East football guy. Wouldn’t be against it as it’s an extra body but I think we need more of a defensive minded player.


3.) 16 Jan 2026 17:04:59
Roll up roll up, magical mystery midfielder. probably Carrick ? but seriously I hope its a solid player who can get around the pitch. Heard it might be mckenna from juve, but that was from talk plop. so pinch of salt with that one.

Weston McKennie. I’m telling you it’ll happen.


5.) 16 Jan 2026 18:51:47
Weston McKennie not a world beater but a decent midfielder if we're going to play a midfield 3 I think we need another midfielder would be a good option.

I read it was Sneijder.

That’s a blast from the past, who did he end up signing for? Marsielle I think?

I honestly don't see us buying another two midfielders. I think they will buy one more and I think it's going to be a cut price Baleba from Brighton.
Makes perfect sense to United, they won't be forking out 80-100 million pounds on the transfer and his wages will be cheap.

Won't cost him a penny to get and i can't see him (Glasner) commanding a high wage.
Perfect fit for the next 12-15 months until he gets the boot.

Wouldn't look to much into it sim ancelloti tuchel naglesman iraola are all out of contract in the summer too all names that have came up.

I hope your right Johnreese.
Tuchel would be my pick.

Lots of good managers are out of contract in the summer.
I have to say i don't have any major preferences at the moment. There are a whole host of managers out there and i don't really have any strong argument as to how one would fare any better than another.
We have a few good players but huge deficiencies right throughout the squad.

The only problem with the world cup managers is that they will be missing out on pre season planning and recruitment. I remember this being an issue for LVG in 2014.

Could see it being Di zerbi in the summer.

I‘d fly to Paris and have a croissant with Luis Enrique.

Id be happy with that dsg.

Jonny8, he’d be my number one preference.

By all accounts it’s a hoax! Disgusting if that’s true, even worse by his wife! What’s the world coming too.

How can it be a money saiving excercise, he's going to be earning probably 50 - 100 grand a week and that could be spent on a new left back.

It will be the same s*** show no matter who comes in.

That kind of performance is just standard now for United.

The passing last night was so sloppy and the pace we played at was walking pace. What i don't understand is how Carrick just stands there with his hand covering his mouth and very rarely says anything. I would of been going f****** mad watching that sh*t on the sidelines.

Tim_99 - but he's brilliant at running 50 yards and high fiving everyone.
