The outlet that's reporting the news is very bad for reliability, including the journo who has got a lot wrong contrary what some have said about him.
But it wouldn't be a surprise if he did end up at Liverpool, like the other French player (Konate) I wanted us to sign.
Just got a feeling despite the great manager acquisition this is going to be depressing transfer window for us. Watching top players move around whilst we can't do much because we don't have UCL football to offer.
Whats an "instagram player"? Surely we (utd) pretty much have a "instagram" squad never mind a instagram player or two.
To be honest, I am not worried about who we sign now. What recent times have taught me that signing shiny players who everybody wants does not get you anywhere, unless you have a manager who knows what he is doing and gets them to play a certain style and gets them to play as a team.
Take last summer for example we signed Ronaldo, Sancho & Varane, everybody was so jealous of our window, even on paper we had this team:
Ronaldo/Cavani
Rashford/Martial Bruno Sancho/Greenwood
Pogba Mctominay/Fred
Shaw Maguire Varane AWB/Dalot
Or the summer we signed LVG we signed plenty of players and everybody here were going crazy. On paper this is the lineup we had where except defence we had a brilliant team.
Rooney/Falcao RVP
Mata
Herrera Di Maria
Blind/Carrick
Rojo Smalling Jones Rafael
So lets not get too gloomy over who anybody signs and lets hope Eric Ten Hag has a plan for us and signs players that suits his style of play, and are comfortable carrying out instructions, where we could be playing better than sum of its parts, rather than star studded team playing like individuals and hapless.

Yeah I fancied him as a CB too, gutted that he went there
A highlights player basically, has flashy moments here and there and that's it. So yeah, basically 90% of our squad, the 10% being Ronaldo and de Gea.
Thanks for that, made me feel slightly less depressed
Signing top players hasn't worked for us in the Woodward era. We need to sign hungry ones for a while and have a spine that actually works for the team
What is it with young people and sticking their tongues out in photographs. It’s so bizzare.

Someone is desperate to find a buyer to his player.
He's 27 and doesn't worth that much.

Another player to add to the Sneijder/Gaitan club of players who'll be linked with a move to us until they retire.
We see this every summer, Alfredo “bullshit” Pedulla.
Straight swap for Maguire.
So true. Even all the rubbish speculation in the media isn’t bothering me now. We’ll be linked with two dozen players in the next few months and may not sign any of them. Fans will be dismayed, journos will get their quota of clicks.
Would prefer to see ETH and his team bring in some new faces under the radar and get to work resetting the culture at the club.
There's still hope re: Gaitain.
Not this again

We let go the real Pogba then proceed to spend another 70M on a poor man’s version of him?
Well if the same scouts.... never mind
New Gaitan as mentioned above.Doesn't make sense with Bruno there unless he is moved in to the front three somewhere.
Most of the players we are supposed to be interested in are 70 - 110 million each.
Can't see us going for these type of players if our budget is between 100-150 million, unless we are going to sell some of our big name players.

Players I would like to see come here this summer.
Pau Torres ( 2nd choice Akanji)
Tchouameni (2nd choice Philips)
Nkunku ( 2nd choice Antony)
Nunez (2nd choice Kane)
Yes I know we need a RB and maybe another midfielder but with these 4 places filled, it would be a great start to our rebuild.
Add to this some of our youngsters like;- Garner, Williams, Mejbri, Garnacho, Shoretire, and possibly a few more.

If Barca are sniffing round and Neves is ‘crazy’ about going there - why on earth do his agents want our interest? Easy payday?!
Increase in wages no doubt
oh dear lord no....why go back to having another Fellaini
this guy is the type of CB that ETH will want as opposed to Maguire, Bailly, Jones or even Lindelof. This kid is more like a VvD type of CB.
That's going to be a hell of a commute for him
Milinkovic-Savic again, come on, who makes up this BS?
I'm pretty sure I saw rumours of that Savic bloke to Fulham a few weeks ago.
Barca asked their players to reduce wages and we seem to be giving away inflated contracts.

This screams of the same dinosaur recruitment that brought us Maguire and Wan Bissaka.
I think he's a step up over both, but there's no way someone can convince me that we can't find better for £50 million if we cast our net wider
