Trying to think who else is out there that they could be linked to. I can't think of any other obvious candidates. Maybe Cheik Doucoure from Palace?
Sofyan Amrabat | signs for United on loan
- Thread starter TheReligion
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

feck. Great signing for pool
but but but I thought he was coming to Man Utd, apparently he's being saying this (via source) for weeks
Going to Pool confirmed then.
They need to make a swift midfield signing to deviate from the Caicedo and Lavia debacle.

Really getting the sense that this season is coming off the rails already. A fecking disaster not getting this deal done.
Why do we let Liverpool hijack our primary target?
Chelsea so
The state of people here, Liverpool havent even made a bid yet and people haven started moaning.
Sangare and Palhinha
Mount is seen as the Fred replacement.
He wants to move and even if we're his preference if we don't have the money, it's just another Gakpo situation.

I'd take Palhinha. He would be an amazing addition to our club.
Not too bothered tbh, think he's overrated by many in here tbh.
Also looks more and more like we weren't really after him as a first choice. Wouldn't surprise me if we go after a different CM.
Fulham would want well over £50m for Palinha
I called it at the start of the window that Liverpool would get amrabat tbh
Jesus
And would that even give us funds to sign him? Have to assume we wouldn’t be getting much for him and might even leave on loan. Hard to believe that deal is difference between us signing Amrabat given reported fee.
Ah, that's a good call. Nearly a month ago, too.
Lottery numbers, please. Not for me - for our club.
It’s people like you who are underestimating him.
If Fred had sold at 20-15 and vdB at 8 we would almost be there of the oft-quoted Amrabat valuation was correct.
I do agree this was slightly optimistic presumptions.
Can’t wait for another midfielder to reject them
So this is the part where suddenly Amrabat is the best midfielder in the world? I wouldn't lose any sleep over this at all. Plenty more fish in the sea.
This is turning out to be a great summer
It might annoy some people when they find out how good he is by watching him play for Liv. But isn’t it true that we have the perfect “back up” players in McT and Donny?
First with Kim Min Jae and now this one .. i genuinely feel our transfer business is relatively easy to predict.Ah, that's a good call. Nearly a month ago, too.

We are at a point where unless Maguire or McTominay leave, we won't sign anyone. No need to squad number wise. And we aren't a team that stockpiles players like Chelsea, and simply don't have the money for more.
Now I thought we would've gotten amrabat and Todibo or pavard not long ago, when west ham bid 60m for the two. Don't really get why the club passed on the chance to effectively swap our 2 guys for those 2 who Ten Hag would want more. Probably difficulties with the players leaving too as we see with Maguire. I'd say we are pretty much done unless there is a surprise sale.
Chelsea are double digits clear on top of the summer window league tableThis is turning out to be a great summer
He's basically Liverpools 5th choice option at DM. They went for Caicedo, Lavia, Bellingham and Tchouameni over him....
Remember last season when people were saying Spurs had the best window, turned out well
Liverpool potentially being interested means even if we go in, we are not getting this done below 35M now.
The likeliest scenario now is Liverpool put a bid for him quickly and get him, and we dont since we didnt "get enough funds from sales".

I just think so much of our business was dependent on Mctominay, Elanga and Henderson being sold for decent fees. That would have massively improved our FFP outlook.
Just don’t see how DVB leaving will be difference between us signing anyone, especially when Amrabat is supposedly available for about 25m.
This one was always dependent on us selling McTominay anyway, which is looking unlikely now due to our incompetence at selling players.
United have become like the undateables
Didn’t realise he’d actually signed for them. Wow!
Pretty much a banker that he'll end up at Liverpool and we will sign no one.
All things considered we're some an even bigger disaster zone than last year.

Oh please you can’t force players to move & we’ve sold a fair amount this summer too.
