Very unpopular by Hearts supporters and lost his place in the first team.
Well there go any hopes of making some money off this guy. Won’t contribute more than 10-15m at max I suppose. Specially post covid.

Could be Joel Perreira. With Hendo now in the picture I don’t see Joel sticking around. He’ll probably fetch a decent sum too.

Do you know how he did on loan this season?
He was at hearts. Some of my mates are hearts fans and they were wondering how he was a professional footballer. So he didn't do very well I think!

Was nicknamed poppadom fingers by the Hearts fans. I stay in Edinburgh and the word I was continuously hearing was how on earth is he on Man Utd’s books?

Not sure if I’m allowed to post this here since it’s not directly related to a specific transfer so my apologies but just curious to know if anyone has more info about who these 9 players could be.

I hope to God this is true and we just get rid of all the deadwood once and for all.

I was expecting maybe 4/5 outgoings at max but this is music to my ears!
We hear the same thing every summer. Not a chance this is going to happen. I expect Sanchez and Smalling to leave on permanent deals. Likely Rojo and Lingard will be sold. The rest will end up staying. I would love to see the back of Jones out of any player. Embarrassing he still plays for this club.

He played in Belgium for couple of months too, last season. Awful keeper tbh.

You mean they are good at business? Like the exact opposite of Utd?
There is a difference though.

As they found with Perisic, they drove a hard bargain and we left it, now he is worth nothing.

We drove a hard bargain on Lukaku and got a really good fee for him because they were more desperate to get Lukaku than us letting him go.

With Sanchez, they know we want him out at all costs, so why would they offer more?

Its simple business... the team more in need of the player will pay the price.

A good example is Bruno - Sporting wanted £60m upfront in the summer and we said okay thank you very much we will walk away. In January we paid £45m initially.

Not what i was expecting from the article but good to hear, we should play him, Fred and McTominay as the midfield 3 in all the EL games.
"Lingard, 27, is not pushing to leave Old Trafford but has seen limited game time this season and only has one year left on his £100,000-a-week deal. United can extend his contract by a year next season but the popular academy product is likely to leave Old Trafford."

Great way to start the article by completely contradicting it in the second paragraph.

Wonderful. Just Wonderful.

Yeah it is a ludicrous title. The idea of Lingard trying to play well in the Europa to win a new deal elsewhere is comedy. He wants to stay here as long as he can, and why wouldn't he! 100k a week, biggest team in the country, close to where you've lived your whole life. Club you supported etc

And as he's had to look after his siblings, the last thing that would suit him is moving miles away.

Do you not see the difference between pushing for a move and expecting to leave?

This Calciomercato article was written by Fabrizio Romano. It explains why Juve are targeting Milik; David Amoyal's concise translated summary provides the key info.

Pulisic wouldnt get in front of Rashford. Unless its for 5m or something really obvious then the funds were better off being spent elsewhere.
It just further highlights what I've said for a long time on here. Our scouts and management haven't pulled in the same direction with the manager being given too much power. And in Pulisic's case it was likely Mourinho who didn't want him.

I'm sure we were also recommended a bunch of other players by this scout who didn't turn out to be very good, those ones won't get mentioned though
That's irrelevant because when you have scouts a structure must be in place where everyone pulls in the same direction hence why the most successful clubs have a Sporting Director.

United fell to the depths it did post SAF was due to the above reasons and many on here blamed our scouts which was wrong.

Were they the two main targets? Or were they the only two of about twenty names that he put forward that went on to be successful? Without that information it's pointless.
My previous post explains this...

Hope, We Lose
The problem being we have loads of scouts and theres probably loads of them with their top 2 players being quality players we should sign, but for each one of those scouts we probably have 3 more that are picking players who wont deliver what we pay for.

That would be delightful
I can't work out if this would be a good thing. That is a lot of players off the books, out of the squad, that won't be replaced by signings. Unless we have very obvious youth players to step up that seems like a risk.

Yeah, Davies seems to have been a real find at LB for Bayern.

I don't know much about him, outside of highlights, but wasn't he a midfielder until very recently converted to fullback by FCB?
He was a winger mainly at first for club and country until he moved to Bayern and played his way into the XI as a LB. He's got the skills neccessary to be a class winger in Europe too but he's sort of made that FB role his own this past season so I'd expect it to continue especially given Bayern's embarrassment of riches on the wings.

Their attack is going to even more lethal with Sane and Davies on that left flank :eek:
