This story is from Mirror and Sun just reposted it. Like others said, they just went through Leipzig squad and named one CM.
Who will also presumably be away at the AFCON in January. How do people still fall for this stuff?

That was pretty rarely though. He could play in an advanced role in a three man midfield, but that's about it. Not exactly what we will be looking for imo. Mostly plays on the left.

edit: In our current 4-2-3-1 setup he'd compete with Rashford or Bruno but definitely not McTominay.
Szoboszlai exclusively played as a CM at Liefering and it's only under Marsch at Salzburg/Leipzig, that he's been used in a more advanced role on the left.

Not in a midfield two as far as I'm aware, so don't see the need for him. He could be an option if we decided to drop Bruno, but that's unlikely.

He's been utilised as LCM/RCM in a 3 man midfield.

But I only mentioned him as a long-term signing.

No way Haidara should be a United player. Saw him many times in Salzburg, he was a good but not a great player. Needed much time to settle in Leipzig.
Mo Camera would be a Reb Bull player we could use. A DM/CM who is not a finished player but already one of Salzburgs best. A small fighter, sometimes holding the ball too long. A better, modern version of Fred.
Hr would be a great cheap signing.

I would love to see us sign his team mate Szoboszlai, he reminds me of Schweinsteiger, who also used to play as a left sided winger than transformed himself into a box to box midfield beast. Szoboszlai seems to have similar qualities.

Not for me from what I’ve seen for Salzburg and Hungary. Had heard he was highly rated - Has great technique but not sure his all round game isn’t good enough.

If there's one player I would get out of Leipzig, it would have to be Dominik Szoboszla. Only 21 and the guy is a star in the making. Him and Rashford battling for the LW spot along with Sanchez and Amad for the RW spot would be good. Martial can be sold to Barcelona and Tchouameni to hold the base of our midfield in a 4-3-3 would be phenomenal.

Tchouameni, VDB/ Fred, and Bruno could work with the right coaching in place. Come on R2!

Sounds like an FM regen of Ander Herrera.

He's a versatile player that has shown the ability to even play at fullback. But if Rangnick wants a player adept at applying pressure in a coordinated manner, then Konrad Laimer would be better IMO , and is an absolute machine in that regard. Laimer was superb at leading the wolf pack from deeper after the initial trigger.

Maybe Laimer's cost is too high and Haidara's lowish release clause as well as him being a Man Utd fan is what appeals?

Would cost a lot of money.

I love how comfortable he looks on the ball compared to our current alleged central midfielders and right back.

Still don't believe this at all, sources are crap.
I thought Paul Hirst was a decent source? I’m out of the loop with that shit mind.

Is this guy a #6? That should be the signing we make before anything else. He looks way more like a box-to-box player in the video above.

Haidara is good but I prefer his partner in Mali's central midfield....


It's Bissouma btw.

Amazes me how many journos can read minds and tell us what people are "considering".
or maybe just text the man and say


"hey ralf, this is Paul from the times, on background, give me an idea of any players you may be considering to bring in January, I will give you favourable write ups for the next couple weeks if you do"

So something like this - 4222 ?


Bruno - - Sancho
Fred - Haidara

Not bad.

We need a DM, he's a box to box from all I've seen. My guess is some lazy journalism. Maybe we are looking at him, but I doubt it's to hold the midfield.

He is for United, but not sure how he would be for the inner transfer workings of Rangnick and his preferences.

Hope, We Lose
Wouldnt seem to fit our DM role. Although we could be changing formation with Ralf where a normal central midfield position is open

I like this player - I remember watching a match in which he stood out massively and I immediately went to buy him on SM only to be disappointed as usual.

I hope the rumour is true - a Kante type - just what we need.

Whatever our style or fit was no longer matters. RR will play completely different style of football, I’m not sure we have anywhere near enough players currently to play his style of football though.

Been saying for a while that Bissouma would be perfect for us. Won't be cheap though that's the major problem. No chance that move can happen in January either.
