The issue is there seems to be a very small pool of talented right wingers that are young, so they seem to be able to charge through the nose for them.

I think last season they PL teams told their squads that if players want to leave they must make their intentions clear before the deadline closes as they'll be no more sales after that. Think Barcelona might have been chasing Coutinho at that time and Liverpool just said absolutely no deal due to the window being closed.
The only players who I let Martial leave to get are Varane and Ousmane Dembele.
What rights has Martial been disenfranchised from?!
He's been marginalized. Dude, it's used in the United States as a way to say what I'm saying, maybe in England it isn't. I don't really care enough to keep arguing over it.
Disappointingly this.
It is indeed slim pickings. Thauvin, Chiesa, Pulisic and Willian are probably our best bets at this point - not convinced that any if them are world class, but they'd be substantial upgrades on Mata/Lingard on the right wing.
You’re the one saying you don’t know why he does what he does.
My answer is maybe because it makes him successful.
That’s a bit different to your flawed and self-serving interpretation of what I said.
Instead of blaming Jose which seems the lazy arguement surely yesterday confirms he's not happy with the squad and wants 2 more signings. It's down to the board/Ed to get these deals done.
So sick and tired of everyone moaning on here. We should be pointing the angry finger elsewhere.

finally a bit of sense on here.
I don't think money is an aspect one bit. The player actually needs to prefer moving here, also one who will suit Mourinho's Requirements.
As in it hardly makes sense other than him trying to protect himself again when he (most probably) struggles to get the best out of Pogba yet again. He's hardly been successful at United with his approach. And it also, yet again, sends out negative signals.
It's the same with the Pereira comments. And what makes it more bizarre is if it was McTominay delivering perfomances like that he would be singing his praises all day. One rule for his favourites and another for the others.
And you're the one saying you don't see the need for having motivational skills.
Again, I haven’t said anything of the sort.
You’re merely offering your opinion on Mourinho but stating it as fact. This is the thread regarding two new signings, not the José performances thread.
Stop moaning about Young, he's a good enough LB for us, he just can't play all games now when he's 33, if Shaw steps up we have a good pairing to rotate on the left, If Valencia recovers from his injury and Dalot kicks on we are good on the right too, plus TFM in the mix too, can see him also stepping up if given time. A lot of IFs and it is a risk from Mourinho but doable. The worst case scenario we will fluff this season, sack Mourinho and start over with some fresh ideas and players the season after... already looking forward to this one
Truly awful.. opinion
Not quite. As soon as someone says 'the FM / FIFA generation I bet' they're just a condescending old twat dismissive of 2 generations of fans.
Hello... calling all Right wingers, show yourselves!!
Anyone?

I'd rather sign a CB if it's going to be just 1 signing
Quality post, mate.
Personally, I don't think Young or Valencia are a problem defensively. It's going forward we have issues. If you Mata and Sanchez playing wide coming inside then you need players with the legs to get up in support to hold the width and deliver quality crosses into the box. Young playing LB always cuts back and narrows play while Valencia always hits the first man with his crosses.
Right wing is a huge hole for us still but right I'd be delighted with us signing anybody who is good at crossing whether its a left footed LB, a right back or a right-winger.
I agree. Young and Valencia do need to be replaced, but there's definitely other areas of the pitch that need a more urgent upgrade.
Alex Sandro fits the bill on both counts. We can't afford him.
No, they're being condescending to tools who think they know what they're talking about because they play Football Manager / FIFA all day. And rightly so.
Just some width, please.
It's bonkers that Manchester United have zero natural width in a 25-man squad.
No inside forwards, false nines or inverted fecking wingers. Just a thoroughbred, out-and-out, touchline-hugging wide man who can whip in a cross.

We need a right winger who can run an entire wing without the help of his full back overlapping, mustn't be wasteful on the ball to please our fans and then also ready to spend the entire game playing as a second full back when we don't have the ball. Can't be that hard to find one of those.
Also just in case the manager doesn't take a liking to him, must not be dependent on any time of gametime to find his form/rhythm just in case he's called up on once in 5 games.
Yes there is a clear link between people who think that United might be able to do better than Ashley Young as first choice left back and their choice of hobbies.
It's not at all a made up nonsense idea thrown into a hyperbolic rant in place of an actual argument.
Do they exist anymore?
Yeah surprised that we aren't linked more with Thauvin or Chiesa. Thauvin seems perfect for us.

I read Jose wishes to sign 2 meter players, can't be far off tho
We all know that Mourinho has had a glittering career of collecting trophies, I really can't imagine him being content with coasting along with a squad that clearly isn't going get anywhere near the biggest prizes.
So to my mind, there has to be something else going on behind the scenes, and its not just a case of Mourinho not being able to identify the players to recruit.
Maybe the board keep the bulk of any transfer budget tightly locked up unless a marquee signing comes along, and has a huge commercial value (Neymar, Bale, Griezmann)
It just seems that we can find the money for these type of marquee signings, but when it comes to players such as Perisic & Sandro we baulk at the fee.
They certainly don't seem to be in fashion.
Can't understate how overrated Dembele is around here. The reason he isn't fitting in at Barca is his near clueless level of decision making in the box. The injury didn't help his season but unless he had brain fracture it's not why he's struggling to figure out Barca's short passing system
I think these are the sort of players we'll target - albeit I have no idea who Leo Jaba is (you're making him up right?!) Aggressive, run all day, type wingers with some skill.
What does this post have to do with what I said?
We knew Jose loves his big players but damn, that's huge.
Mentioned him elsewhere, Bertrand Traore from Lyon is the best option left IMO.
He's at Martial's level. Got a few skills but not yet proven. Internet favorite though.
Honestly, I'd rather have Willian than Dembele at this point, and I am completely against Willian. Because Dembele will be exactly like Martial under Jose.
Or maybe we aren’t after a RW
