Sheth bringing up Utd dipping into next summers budget, should absolutely do that if it landed Antony AND FDJ in next 7 days

I think there are a lot of deals still to be done this window, and our chances of signing de Jong are probably tied to a few of them. Ronaldo's wages need to be off the books, almost certainly.

I'd be hugely disappointed if we miss out on what might well be our only chance at de jong because we want to spunk 90m on Antony. Would much rather loan ziyech or pulisic if that's an option for us. Antony can wait.

If de Jong really wants to stay, which seems strange if true given the way he's been treated, then that's out of our hands.

JFK became president in 1961. Upside down and backwards that’s…1961. But if you just put it upside down or backwards, 1691.

Frenkie.

100%. By next year Ronnie will definitely (erm) be off the wage bill so that will help.

If we can only get one of Antony or FDJ this year, I think it should be Frenkie…

That would be the ideal signing to be honest, but this is United haha.
I'm hoping that we get him, i think there will a last attempt but it'll be a take it or leave it thing

The latest is United have agreed a deal with Barca for FdJ. That was two months ago, somewhere around page 400 of this thread. Since then, no updates (except for United spending massive money on an alternative midfield target - Casemiro).

I keep thinking about that video clip (if you saw it) from pre-season where he gets the ball around his own D and just puts the burners on and carries the ball straight through the midfield like the oppos weren’t even there and plays a delicious through ball.

It would just be the perfect set up with Casemiro doing the bullying, teeing up Frenkie, those too could make some sweet music together.

That's just made up nonsense from this journalist trying to add numbers and comparing to our average spend over the years.
Seems like there are lots of things being made up in the last few days of the window.
To be honest, United have been pretty good at keeping things underwraps this summer, and i'm really not complaining about it at all. I prefer that to all the leaks that were geting our hopes up and then having them dashed quickly
