We have to rethink the loan strategy to maximise the income from players. It seems that we view loans as a way of developing the players for potentially ourselves whereas other teams, like Chelsea, view it as a way of maximising their transfer value. How many players who go out on loan make it...

I see my post has solicited a few howls of derision. My point however is we have not been informed of the reasons all the players are missing. Even suggestions that quarantine has played a part. So let us know. And, yes I do believe AF would not have let Rashford go to the Euros and if United...

I know it's been a difficult pre season principally because of the Euros, but I do not think AF would have let all this go on. Rashford going to the Euros injured and waiting weeks for the operation. Shaw playing games with broken ribs. Players being allowed back late, Pogba, Sancho. Why...

It's obvious he will not sign a contract. He is not mad keen on going to PSG unless it is crazy money they are offering in wages and signing on bonuses. United are therefore hoping that a good season will presuade him to stay. We are still discussing after 5 years his best position, this tells...

Summarizing the situation. Varane will not sign the current contract offered by RM. Varane will not ask for transfer, doesn't want to burn his bridge's, or loose his percentage of transfer fee. Varane is happy to go if a deal can be agreed. United have probably agreed informally a contract with...

Most transfers are going to happen towards the end of the transfer window. Swap deals, loan to buy etc. are going to be the order of the day.

Strikes me that Varane wants to come to United. United want to pay 45M euros, Real Madrid want more. Varane is threatening to walk away for free next year to try to force the issue. All part of the negotiations. I was sceptical at first but I think it will happen, but be patient.

How do you think another unsuccessful cup will affect United players in the coming season. I know only one side can win, but it's a few of our player's losing again. Confidence is a great part of a players performance. I expect a slow start to the season.

United's transfers are all played out in the media. It just gets more clicks than any other club. It is a myth that all other clubs are better than us. Tell me how you think United could improve? Is it we just pay what the selling club asks. Tell me you walk into a car showroom and pay what the...

People keep quoting Leicester as masters of transfers. Just think of the fallout if all United's transfers were unknown players. Think if we had signed Albrighton. Yes, some of their signings have turned out well, for them. Would you be satisfied with good, cheap signings and 5th place?

Bear in mind the suggestion of United offering a Varane/ Pogba swap is coming from a Madrid outlet. It's possible that the suggestion has been made but United are looking for cash plus Varane and Madrid want a straight swap. Hence the suggestion that it is United seeking this deal. If Varane...

When will people stop making excuses for Pogba? He has not performed or put in sufficient effort and has been disruptive. Get rid.

Sancho is a good player but not great player. Yes, he has potential but that is what we are dealing with. He is not blessed with great pace, physically he can be dominated, his defensive duties are not great. His best asset is his intelligent play and awareness. Is he worth 95M euros plus. No...

How are Rice and Phillips an upgrade on Mcfred. Some people want us to pay millions for them. Last night showed that against low block teams a double pivot does not work. You need a more creative midfielder alongside a holding midfielder. Maybe Rice or Phillips by themself may work, but I...

A lot of transfers will not get done until towards the end of the transfer window. Clubs are still living in cloud cuckoo land. Price's being quoted are ridiculous. Turned down £50M for Varane, £45M wanted for Tripper, £85M for Sancho, £80M for Rice. No wonder United do not get business done early.
