I don't think Sancho will be difficult.
I think Grealish makes the decision at Villa.
Haaland is highly unlikely.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Yes. But if Sancho is available for ~ £65m, get him. Not sure there are any other right-sided forwards worth looking at.
I remember when we were linked — anyone have any idea how he’s been for the last season or so?
I’m not saying he should / would play with a single DM.
What I’m saying is we only have one true DM in the entire squad and he’s probably our oldest player (Matic.)
Hence why we have to field two player in Fred and McTominay, neither of whom are actual DM’s.
With a top level DM we can partner them with Pogba and bring the best out in him, like we see when Matic is fit and firing.
It’s not about changing shape but about improving players in that position that should be one of the priorities.
We concede far too many and neither of them are excellent playing the ball forwards. Either way what we have currently is a makeshift defensive midfield and I don’t expect to make big strides until it’s fixed.

The journalist who first reported on Boca Juniors going after Edinson Cavani now claims that it won't happen this summer.

Fanstastic name, Brian Brobbey.
Brian Brobbey will definitely leave, but there's nothing substantial on Brobbey's dream to play for United; the Dutch media have nothing to report on it.
He is on about spelling Maguire as McGuire. Unless of course you are trolling.
Daylight brobbery if we manage to get him
Sorry it just irritates me that people can’t spell the name of the club captain
Don’t know anything about this guy, any good?
Brian Brobbey, 19 yrs old, Dutch, centre forward. Agent: Shitbag.
Very highly rated talent. One of the best current Ajax academy players
Dammit. I don't usually spell it wrong. Sorry Harry. That's fair enough then.
Brobbey 'ly never going to happen.
How would you rank him amongst other forwards in his generation (Rutter, Balogun, Vlahovic, David, etc.)? Personally, given how raw he looked when I watched yesterday's Lille-Ajax match, I don't know if I'd consider him to be at the top level, but he still has time to iron out his game and get even better.

I haven't watched him this season, only in the Youth League last season I think. Was very impressed with him then. I don't think I'm the best person to compare him to those mentioned as I've not personally seen much of Rutter or Balogun. VLahovic I do really like though. David too obviously, He's making some good progress at Lille.

Price: Bargain. Club contract with Ajax ends this summer.
Looks like an old-fashioned, battling, poacher-style, centre-forward. Well built for such a young player. Played a few matches in Jupiter (Dutch version) and Eredivisie, and scored a few goals. Did well for his age. Surely worth a punt? Then again, we have Greenwood, Hugill, and McNeil now; so maybe not? But he is a different kind of player to them; so maybe?

Ndidi,Soumare, Tielemans, Maddison is a CL midfield. Probably one of the best ! Leicester are really killing it.
Fantastic insight there.
Probably due to the coronavirus break.
I think that's a mistake as well, if Pogba stays it'll be a money choice and we still have nobody to partner him in midfield, we don't need a flash attacker, it's the gold paint instead of an important engine part syndrome.
Harvey Barnes is a cracking player as well. One of the first on the teamsheet these days I would imagine.
If Leicester get Soumare I'll feel slightly sick.
this isn't really the case at all.
You think so?
Brobbey has Dortmund written all over him, especially for free. Back up to Haaland for next season and then first team the season after when Haaland leaves.
They like buying from Ligue 1
Lot of rumors for him going to Leipzig too. Getting him on a free will be great business.
That makes sense for either team, I can see players moving as free agents over the next 3/4 years, as teams don't have as much money.
This is now the third article now in the last week or so that suggests Utd are in no rush to sort out their summer transfer plans and the most worrying part about it is that it's coming from such strong sources as well
Another year of Cavani should be a no brainer
Extend to 2022, fill more urgent squad needs (CB, DM) then all out for Haaland.
His True/False crap is as irritating as that Here we go nonsense from Romano.
Imagine what he's like with his wife! Geez.
Can’t find anything on him having played in Belgium?
