We needed a CB for that and should be shifting McT to Fulham to fund it.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

I think he'd need to be registered by 1pm today.
For a number of reasons id say the chances of him playing against Arsenal are close to 0%
Embarrassing!
And he will get his fairy tale ending today. Excellent news.
OK mate. If you think it's ETH to blame for the fact that we're scraping around finding spare euros to loan a player on the last day of the window, then I'll leave you to it.
The rest of us know that ETH told the club he wanted Amrabat, told Amrabat to hold on while the club sorts it all out. And then the club failed to sell anyone of note and messed everybody around to save pennies at the end. Yep, all ETH's fault.
It's strange when you take a step back and look at how desperate and excited United fans are over Amrabat on both social media and here. Comments like 'we need him' when most people have probably barely seen him play. I hope he does well for us but it poses quite a lot of questions for me, which largely centre around what our actual plan is and why we signed Mount. Something will have to give as ETH barely rotates, so somebody that we have either signed recently for big money, or Bruno/Rashford, is going to be benched. I'm intrigued by how he will handle this and what his preferred team will be.
But the excitement over Amrabat does leave me feeling like our standards are in the gutter these days. When you see some of the signings others have made, which is the market you would have hoped we would be in, then this barely moves the needle really.

Don't want to be a party pooper but there most be reasons why this guy is available for 20 to 25 million, while other players in his position went for over 100 million (Caicedo, Rice) or 65 million (Palhinha).
If he is on a similar level clubs should bite Fiorentina's hand off to sign the guy.

I was responding to the idea we'd weakened the midfield. I agree that we should still look to strengthen the area.
To be fair, while I don't think Amrabat is an elite midfielder by any means, he has been sought after by some other big clubs, and he's on the last year of his contract. His real value is probably around £40m ish?
I mean that’s a short sighted view.
Rejected Bayern didn’t he?
Good signing if we can make it happen. I too am still confused as to what our plan in midfield is, as Amrabat is not really a Casemiro backup or a Mount / Bruno replacement. I'm guessing he's our pick for a Carrick type deep playmaker who's also competent defensively, which I think suits his skill set from the little I've seen.
You read this thread and thought there is a party going on?
Will he be available for Arsenal or does he have to be signed before noon?
Think it’s just a case of having a dig type of profile to Mount or Eriksen that has some physicality and defensive attributes. He’ll play in some games where two attacking 8’s isn’t the best idea and we need a bit more protection in midfield I think.
I think him and Casemiro in the middle . Mount out wider right Bruno out Wider left with two in front of them the old 442 only problem doesn't give us much width and will need or Backs to work like dogs up and down , tbf our wingers aren't offering much at the moment . Or Just lots of rotation using system we are using now

Frenkie 2.0 lets go
Here we go soon.....At least they didn't sent Murtough madness this time .
This is on. I believe.
Didn’t Fulham have a bid accept from home yesterday?
Not sure why people are confused about where he will fit in, players pushed out as a result etc. We're building strength in depth. Anybody who follows football should know an EPL side needs strength in depth to even stand a chance of competing with City. It's not rocket science lads
Glad this is being outed as a certainty quickly to reduce any hyperbole the club hoped to create. Won't let it detract from the fact this has been a joke of a window.
Delivering the bare minimum and dressing it up as a success.
Club did but He rejected them. And he rejected Forrest. Hes rejecting any offer that isn't United.
All right mate.
4-2-3-1
Amrabat and Casemiro deep. Rasmus up top.
And a trio of Bruno, Mount, Rashford, Sancho, Antony, Garnacho between them.
Where is the Don heading too then? Working on that Mbappe deal
Ah Unicorn Island. The place where all your dreams come trueWhere is the Don heading too then? Working on that Mbappe deal
Clown show.
I've heard that he flew to France to complete the double signing on Mbappe and Todibo.Where is the Don heading too then? Working on that Mbappe deal
YES OR YES were his last words.
We probably need a better centre back but we do have loads of options there. Without Maguire going it wasn’t feasible to look at a new centre back I don’t think.
Varane, Martinez, Lindelof, Maguire, Evans? +Shaw when back fit can play there.
I truly admire Your positive attitude.
Maguire shouldn't be an option to play for us. We're one injury away from Maguire/Evans starting btw - imagine that away to Munich
Manchester United should put the words FOOTBALL CLUB back on the badge to remind those at the top. If not CASH COW wouldn't be out of place and certainly more accurate.
I love the player, but I just can’t stand the people running the club right now. Truly incompetent.
Jaypers!Maguire shouldn't be an option to play for us. We're one injury away from Maguire/Evans starting btw - imagine that away to Munich
They think we are stupid and will get our cocks out for Amrabat on deadline day when it could have been done ages ago.
They always set it up this way. I cannot stand it.
Oh don't start.
I was speed reading this fo
I kind of agree with you but ETH is still only one season in and I still have faith in him.
A great team doesn't consist of 11 world class players. We need some functional, pragmatic type of players that allow our "stars" and our system to flourish and hopefully Amrabat is that player.
If we don't manage to get him signed on at least a loan, we're the biggest cock tease of a football team in the entire world. The bloke has been sat in the reserves since the end of June waiting for this to happen.
