Depends on how much money Utd want to spend this window. They need a CB, RB, DM and a RW. Looks like everyone is going to try and fleece Utd for transfer fees so they might need to pick up a freebie or two. I do think that he might go to the MLS anyway though.

Woodward 4D chess move. Making everyone dead tired of this news, so no competition for his signature.My friend wich is a Liverpool fan even said to me yesterday "Im so tired of reading about Sancho to Manchester United that at this point i just want you to sign him, even if i dont want you lot to get him!"
Sergio Ramos smells like a Chelsea signing. They're looking for another CB but they're focusing the cash for forward signing, and Hakimi. If they hell bent on making Dortmund blink, they need to offer a ridiculous fee. Getting someone like Ramos on free transfer just like Thiago Silva, would allow them with that scenario.

Reminder that there is no such thing as a freebie and sergio ramos would likely cost something like £20M a year...
Pau Torres on, say, £8M a year would be cheaper on a yearly basis for example

United dont care about logic like this. Everyone already wants Ronaldo why not Ramos. Heck we could get Bale as well while we're at it.
A hell of a lot of people were saying similar things about Cavani last year.
I'm not sure Silva & Ramos would work together but that wouldn't stop Chelsea I guess
Maguire and Ramos together would be slow as all hell. A ball over the top with Vardy in behind, for example, and we'd be toast.
Exactly. So if thats our policy we should get them all
Don't forget we're also bidding for Trippier so that's another 30+ year old. Average age of the squad would be heading each in the wrong direction.
Come on do we have to be so childish against someone who’s been at the club his whole life and is a fan as well as a player?
That will hopefully be a really short conversation, "Hi Jessie, I've cleared out your locker, here's your stuff, all the best"
I think most people realise that free transfers still have wage costs and signing on fees. I think the Glazers are happy to absorb the wages in the weekly running costs. I think they are less happy to stump up large quantities in transfer fees as it will probably involve taking out additional lending. The Glazers don't spend their own money on Manchester Utd.
What? That doesn't make any sense?
How often does that happen to United? People keep saying Maguires pace but we’ve literally never had a goal against because of it
Don't get where this idea that ramos is slow comes from either
Didn't mean he was better than Veratti.
Gueye, Herrera, Danilo Peirera he's miles better than them.
Yeah maybe it was a bit harsh
Tbh I’ve seen similar from others too so it’s not just that post. Lingard literally could be one of us
He’s an older player so therefore he must be slow. That’s the thinking rather than actually going and finding out from madrid forums or something
Even funnier that the player used as the example of a pace merchant, Vardy, is about the same age as Ramos
Donny is a good player with great talent but yeah he was not the type of player we needed last summer or this summer.
Again we see the scattergun approach they used for many years, instead of spending more on one player with the quality needed the next season instead of 3 for the future and not really fixing our problem areas.
Haha either that or we have the world`s worst negotiation team on the planet and greedy cnuts for owners
Good pointI thought it was widely acknowledged that a problem we've been having is that our backline rarely pushes up because in Maguire and Lindelof there's feck all pace, so typically we sit deep and rarely squeeze opposition high up the pitch. It's partly why loads of people are clamouring for Varane - he's absolutely rapid.
Is that what football has come to? The prerequisite for having an opinion on players from other clubs is to scour international club forums? Sounds like a fecking bore. I watched him against Chelsea in the semi-final and he was absolutely crap, he couldn't keep up with them whatsoever.
I completely agree. Whilst I don’t think renewing Pogbas contract is worth it considering the wages he’ll be demanding, he’s had to play with mediocre midfielders in our team so far.
Just by adding Bruno and playing him on the left wing, we’ve seen glimpses of what he’s capable of in a setup based around amplifying his potential. By replacing Fred/Scott or both with new midfielders, we might get to see a whole new version of Pogba.
Everton at home springs to mind. Pass to DCL , before his cross.
Also we tend to play a deeper defensive line due to his and Lindelof's lack of pace. When Baily is next to him we tend to play higher up the pitch and is usually Baily that tends to mop up.
FYI if we play higher up the pitch , less of a ground for the DMs to cover, so no need for top-quality DM/CM to bridge the gap between the CBs and forwards.
I would actually be willing to sell him and use funds elsewhere as long as we recuperate the funds we used to acquire him.
Clearly he’ll always be backup to Bruno at #10 and he’s also clearly not reliable enough to play in central midfield in the PL.
Do you or anyone else know how Mengi did this past season?
I would love to see him brought into the first team fold and see how he does.
Apparently there are no issues with pace in our centre backs

The fact Villa have the confidence to go after one of Arsenal's best players shows you what a mess that club is in. Anyone thinks they can pick them off at this point.
