I did see some talk on twitter that it’s Bayern his most likely destination. I do wonder if Napoli are trying to ignite a bit of panic bidding so they don’t lose him for his buy out fee in July.Does this mean we're losing the race to sign KMJ?

I think he's meant to put 'less sure' there tbf - which would make the whole tweet make more senseLess unsure = more sure?
So he's saying more likely DDG deal will get done?
How hard is it to just say - "UTD more sure of DDG new deal happening" or "UTD less sure of DDG new deal happening"
Standards for what we accept from journalists is so poor these days....
Oh... That's how I read it the first time. It must be a typo because as you say it doesn't make much sense as written.I think he's meant to put 'less sure' there tbf - which would make the whole tweet make more sense
Gone south rapidlywith the early move for mount, the links to kane and KMJ and rumours of Maguire et al moving on, the summer started so well for us muppets. a week later it all seems to being going a bit south.
We shouldn’t be offering him a new deal in the first place. The whole thing makes no sense, we’ll hold off and hope our error prone keeper who can’t pass signs a new deal before looking to sign a superior one who is good with his feet and a much better fit for the managers system? Yeah, sounds like a plan.Tweet

I still have my fingers crossed we will manage to convince Phil Jones to sign a new contractWe shouldn’t be offering him a new deal in the first place.

Doesn't sound very concerning to meTweet

Yeah exactly we need to be ruthlessDoesn't sound very concerning to me
Possibly, could also be backup options just in caseDoes this mean we're losing the race to sign KMJ?
I'm growing concerned that the club thinks it's worth getting concerned over him leaving.Tweet

A club with ambitions to win the league wouldn't be concerned, they'd just let his contract expireTweet

Feels like we wait until May / June to even start thinking about transfers. At which point many of the pieces are already off the table.Looks like the players Manchester United were linked with when the season ended are joining other teams. Mad to think the Felanni transfer wasn't a one off, it was setting a standard for united transfer policy for the next 15 years.

If we don't have a backup plan (and I'm not necessarily saying we don't), then it makes sense that they're playing hardball with us.Improved bid yes but do they expect us to go from 40 to 70+. That won't happen
A lot of top players are in the shop window, while we are in the clearance aisle at the back of the shop. By the time new owners are in place, this summer's transfer window will have been thrown away.Feels like we wait until May / June to even start thinking about transfers.

Hard stance on this is good and can only understand walking from Kane IF we get GK
Another one we held onto for way too long. Could've gotten a decent fee for him a couple summers ago.Official: Axel Tuanzebe's a free agent

This all feels a bit like the Pogba situation where there was an offer on the table but deliberately structured in a way where the player won’t accept it.I'm growing concerned that the club thinks it's worth getting concerned over him leaving.
Yeah I'm not sure why we even bother wasting our time. Just release a nice PR statement "we'd like to thank him for his services over the years but we've decided the time is right to move on, yada yada yada". No hard feelings, just business.This all feels a bit like the Pogba situation where there was an offer on the table but deliberately structured in a way where the player won’t accept it.
Would rather we were just blunt enough to not bother with an offer at all but it feels a bit like a PR game where we’re trying to avoid being the bad guys.
