Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.
RdT good striker, but their best player is Sergi Darder, top class
Sure we are.
Ok, that has cheered me up a little. Really liked him last year.
If he is anything like the OG Raul then sign me up
17 goals in La Liga last season, not the worst record. Definitely seems better for actual goals than some of the other links
Probably shit, but get him in anyway.
Not the worst record?!
Bullshit link. Be prepared for a lot of these in the next couple of weeks, even more than usual.
Every time we try to sign a player settled in Barcelona it falls on its arse
Leave him alone to the topless beaches and gorgeous food

Literally anyone but the players we have please, oh, and Arnautovic.
Spent most of his career in the second division. Meh.
28 years in a couple of months and spent only 4 seasons in la liga

Most of our current players should be in the second division.
Looks good. Might camp in here if it’s any hold in this.
This gets me excited. Hope the links are true
I think he's one of the worst players in Europe when it comes to pressing stats, can anyone confirm?
He’s not settled and was left out of their squad this weekend.
Bottom 5th percentile. He’ll fit in.
Better then Rashford and Martial combined.
He's a playmaking forward who drops deep often to initiate attacks.
Sounds like they want to get rid and use our name to generate some interest.
Anyone know if the journalist reporting it is reliable?
Yeah why not.
Who?
Atletico was chasing him all summer last year and eventually missed out and got Cunha instead, he was seen as "trequartista" in their 2 striker system. So he isn't someone who really leads the line himself, but very mobile and lurking in the pockets kind of striker.
Diego Simeone was/is very fond of him and there was a detailed analysis on his style of play for him.

Why haven't we signed him yet?

Heres a fairly recent article. Some points to consider from it:
It doesn’t mention his abilities to press but I imagine dropping deep would lean him more towards he can do it. It may be that he can press and it’s just that he’s not really instructed to with Espanyol.

- Elegant player with good technical abilities and good movement
- Can drop deep and create for other players
- Good at turning with the ball and shielding

Thanks mate
RDT is just a great name as well. Would prefer this over Morata.
Ask Lou Macari
Will be the Benzema for Ronaldo for us (if we somehow sign him)
End the conversation thereWhat are the gospel (SPORT) saying about this?
Never heard of him, so he's the most exciting forward we've been linked to so far by default.
A non pressing forward. Sounds exactly like the type ETH wants right now. First of 20 new player links before we finish the window with no more.
Wow. He's tailor made for United then.
If ETH can sign RDT and FDJ I am going to be like WTF!
