I think I saw somewhere that Malacia shares the same agency as FDJ. So, we were already in contact with his representatives. So, I assume from the moment they informed us that Feyenord accepted another bid, it was easier for us to accelerate things.
Right, that's fine. Still, Feyenoord could have just rejected our offer as Lyon may have been advanced. I guess, in this case, they really weren't (merely a verbal agreement), so United could jump in and provide a formal offer.

I'm struggling to recall anyone at the moment. I thought it was Luckhurst, but he didn't report it. Maybe it was one of the Daily Mail reporters outside of Mokbel?
Was the Telegraph on the 10th of June. Can’t remember who the journo was. Definitely said personal terms won’t be an issue. I’ll find it.

Telles surely on his way then? I see right back as the biggest problem though but both sides could do with upgrading.

Jason Burt from this article.

Right, fair enough. When you mentioned the Telegraph, I also remembered Whittell stating the same thing. I personally don't consider Jason Burt that reliable, but that's fine nonetheless.
A good few journalists have reported that De Jong has been persuaded by Ten Hag.
Right, that makes two in Burt and Whittell + Luckhurst who stated a few days back that Ten Hag alleviated De Jong's concerns about joining United.

I refuse to believe we would have negotiated with Barcelona if we hadn't had assurance from the player himself.
I find it hard to believe he’d want to stay there since they’re happy to offload him. I’d want out.

Ah, I was under the impression Lyons bid was already accepted.

Thanks.
You're sort of correct. Feyenoord had a verbal agreement with Lyon on the deal. However, since it wasn't formal, United could still jump in with a better formal offer and get ahead in the race.

I'd be very pleased by all of that. Apart from maybe Dumfries I was never that impressed by him but it's not like our current options are any better.

Ornstein is the one tapping in here. Romano had it out first, from what I've seen.
I know, I was taking the piss out of those that incessantly moan about how Romano just sits around F5ing other journos tweets before copying and pasting 5 minutes later.

Scratch both Dumfries and De Ligt off of the list. None of the more reliable sources have reported on their links to us. Add Antony to the list, and you will have captured our current summer activity succinctly.

Despite Sky talking initially about Malachia they go into De Jong too and are also reporting personal terms for De Jong are not believed to be an issue.

I don't see us going for a CB until we've shifted one or two of our own but Dunfries could materialise since we only have AWB and ETH isn't a fan.

De Jong is a no brainier. Eriksen would be great on a free. Malacia is a punt which you need to take from time to time.
I am worried about the rest though (two Ajax CBs, RW). We are just going with what ETH is familiar with. It might work out great but is a trend at the club.

Ten Hag's willing to give Dalot a chance, however, and whilst Dumfries seems like a reasonable player to bring in, I've yet to see a reliable report linking us to him.

Relax :lol: He isn’t going to choose West Ham or Lyon when United are coming for him
I'm gonna cover our backs unjinxing it by saying he prefers living in London just like Eriksen who will stay at Brentford.
