Would you take him here? I know it wouldn’t happen but I would be interested to see people’s opinion on him, it’s dropped in recent times I feel.Tweet

Why on earth would they do that? Hakimi is a one man recking ball on the right going forwards. Can only dream about him being at Utd.Tweet

Yes in a heartbeat, classy CB. Would be happy to buy Varane from Madrid so Laporte can go there and we strengthen ourselves and weaken city. Result.Would you take him here? I know it wouldn’t happen but I would be interested to see people’s opinion on him, it’s dropped in recent times I feel.
Yeah totally agree. I think he’s good and a level above what we have (aside from Maguire.)Yes in a heartbeat, classy CB. Would be happy to buy Varane from Madrid so Laporte can go there and we strengthen ourselves and weaken city. Result.
Definitely. I'm not sure why he fell out of favour with Pep but I have seen Sam Lee from the Athletic write that Laporte wants to return to Spain and he made this known to City so maybe that's why. He's a very good player and I can see Barca snapping him up.Would you take him here?

Yeah totally agree. Shame the City/United link puts this one off the table because he’s a very good CB.Definitely.

Someone get the "Welcome to Manchester" poster out.Tweet

Not sure if Laporte would want to go to Villarreal. I'd imagine it would only be Barca and Madrid.Probably end up with City doing a swap deal for Pau Torres with Laporte going the other way.
If I may ask, I would like to read on what was said about Mata and other players. PM me if it isn't is too nosey and if you're ok with the request.I did the stadium tour this weekend for my sons birthday and the guy showing us around made a point of talking about just how good a presence Juan Mata was in the club and what a fantastic person he is and a great representative. It really stood out as the guy wasn't afraid of dishing out a few backhanded compliments for other players!
He's clearly very well loved at the club
United have got the ball rolling on a deal for Kieran Trippier. Trippier has reverted to a UK mobile number, his family have settled back in Manchester and his wife, Charlotte, has pallied up with Fern Hawkins and Anouska Santos, Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw's partners.
Raphael Varane has never been more attainable for United but a source said matters are 'quiet for now' as Varane is on France duty. Real Madrid have already announced the signing of David Alaba, effectively a ready-made replacement for Varane, and are prepared to sell the Frenchman to United.
Sancho and Varane would set United back around £140m and the club has never broken the £150m barrier for permanent signings in a single summer. Solskjaer has asked United players for their opinion on provisional fall-back targets that would command frugal fees. Declan Rice is interested in joining United but the expectation is he will spend at least one more year with West Ham, who value him at close to £100m.

I'd argue anyone who costs 5m and isn't a youth talent you don't really want.Whoever pays more than 5m pounds for Trippier needs his head examined.
He's a bang average 31 year old RB in the last year of his contract, he really isn't worth much.Don't be ridiculous
What is his proper value from our perspective?I'd argue anyone who costs 5m and isn't a youth talent you don't really want.
If it's Jesse out for 20m and Trippier in for the same price I'd take it. I haven't watched him much but he's just won La Liga with nearly 30 starts so bang average is under selling him I feel.He's a bang average 31 year old RB in the last year of his contract, he really isn't worth much.

Jesse is younger and midfielder/attacker which tend to fetch bigger sums. Despite that, anything above 10-15m for Jesse and we are robbing that potential buyer. Trippier is really a very average RB, and would be very stupid to spend 20m on him while we have AWB and players like Fred and Lindelof starting in the heart of the team.If it's Jesse out for 20m and Trippier in for the same price I'd take it.

You can keep banging that drum, but most AM-fans consider him among their three best players this season. The club that won La Liga this year.Jesse is younger and midfielder/attacker which tend to fetch bigger sums. Despite that, anything above 10-15m for Jesse and we are robbing that potential buyer. Trippier is really a very average RB, and would be very stupid to spend 20m on him while we have AWB and players like Fred and Lindelof starting in the heart of the team.
Laporte didn't fall out with Pep, he simply doesn't want to stay and fight for his place like Stones last summer. However, I don't think Barca can offer €70-80m right now.Definitely. I'm not sure why he fell out of favour with Pep but I have seen Sam Lee from the Athletic write that Laporte wants to return to Spain and he made this known to City so maybe that's why. He's a very good player and I can see Barca snapping him up.
The way we deal with transfers I think he may leave for free.Not exactly a good source. Im sure if he is not signing he’ll be sold
I'm not so sure . Who can afford whatever price United will have for him? unless they sell him dirt cheap, which they arent very known to do..Not exactly a good source. Im sure if he is not signing he’ll be sold
Given Jesse's form for West ham we'll probably get 20m for him.Jesse is younger and midfielder/attacker which tend to fetch bigger sums. Despite that, anything above 10-15m for Jesse and we are robbing that potential buyer. Trippier is really a very average RB, and would be very stupid to spend 20m on him while we have AWB and players like Fred and Lindelof starting in the heart of the team.
If telles cost what he cost then trippier is surely 15m for an England internationalHe's a bang average 31 year old RB in the last year of his contract, he really isn't worth much.

Would be unusual for us to let someone leave for free who has that type of resale valueThe way we deal with transfers I think he may leave for free.
Your opinion is not worth much then, mate.Tweet

I'm beyond bored of it tbh. Stay or go, it won't actually have much of an impact on us, IMO.
