Why list off 3 players that you didn't sign? Your kind of player is Maguire, AWB and James.

Kai Havertz

When we eventually need to replace Pogba we should get this kid. Absolute quality.
If you don't know what it means you really should google it. If you do know what it is (and I guess that's more likely) and this snappy comment was just a way to express your opinion that such statistics are irrelevant, I think that you don't know much about football.
Completely different player. He’s a second striker that’s all about goals and the final pass.
When pogba goes we need a playmaker from deep who can dictate. Adding a guy like havertz to the 10 can only make us more dangerous though.
He is an attacking midfielder and very versatile imo. Different player to Pogba I agree, and if and when Pogba moves we will probably have to rebuild the whole midfield, since there's hardly a copy of him, not with the quality he possesses. Havertz can work in a midfield 3 like we played with Pogba mostly, not in a pivot Ole is trying to play this season.
If Pogba left he’d be someone I’d want to replace Pogbas influence and goals but you would still need someone to take Pogbas position in the squad who is more of a midfielder. I look at Kai as more of a replacement to Jesse.
However there hasn’t been any links to us that I can see other than just people saying he’d be good for United. Haven’t watched yesterday’s game yet but I saw his goal and what a delightful finish.
This is how I’d play it.
Want to see how he develops this year and see if and how his game changes.

For the pogba money I’d take ceballos (or somebody similar style) and havertz and add sancho.
Only that way can we come out stronger than losing pogba. It has to be a huge summer if he does go.
I don’t think he’d be a replacement for Pogba. He seems to play more advanced like a number 10. Therefore he would be more a replacement for Mata/Lingard/Pereira.
If Pogba was to go, someone like Saul or SMS would be more a Pogba replacement.

According to German newspaper reports, you guys are officially in for him. It's been said that you told our representatives that you are willing to pay over 100m €. At least from what I've heard, that's the most concrete interest so far apart from Bayern's reported offer last summer (which apparently was below 100m). However, Liverpool, Juve, Barca and Madrid are also reported to be interested.
SportBild is just quoting the Sunday Express if that's what you are referring to.
True, overread that part I guess.
And let's be honest there is absolutely no chance that he will choose to join us with all the options he will have.
No chance of ever getting him. He'll be next summers Frenkie De Jong. The top 10 teams in Europe will fight over him, and without top 4, we wont be in the running.
We can but dream
He ll end up at Bayern or maybe in Spain
Adorable that people think we’ve got a hope of getting these top foreign talents when we’re currently as shite as we are. Unless we get a top manager in who inspires people again, we’ve not a chance.
Making a move for him in Jan apparently

He's a very obvious target and one we should be securing. A top class talent not playing for a 'top' club. We'll have a much better chance at him than asking Sancho to take a step down from Dortmund to us.
Ole and Havertz seems like a mismatch. It is like having Jose Mourinho coach Barcelona players. However, Jose did had success with coaching Ozil, who is somewhat similar to Havertz. So if this deal happens, maybe Ole can have similar success even though I believe Havertz will thrive under a more progressive manager.
Regardless, the few things that ole has done well in is his players acquisition. I have more faith in him finding the right players for United than any of our previous managers. Which isn’t that big of a compliment I guess.
He has Bayern Munich written all over him.
In front of Pogba and McTominey we'd have a bit of threat about us again. We still could do with a direct replacement for Herrera... but we'd be headed in the right direction!
I couldn’t think of anything worse to have written all over me
They'll probably sell havertz to bayern for about 45 mill as well.
On the contrary I think this is not only true but is a huge compliment, considering probably our single biggest issue over the past 6 years is the horrendous, appalling, truly awful player recruitment.
When you think of the money spent (close to a BILLION isn’t it?), and we are playing the likes of Young, Lingard, Jones and having to play teenagers just to field a starting 11. It’s a proper disgrace.
So Ole making the right signings is a huge benefit right now, even if he does get the sack the players he’s brought in are young and talented and almost any manager will be able to work with them.
Ed the clown should have gotten a few more of this type of signing in the summer and we wouldn’t be looking half as bad as we are.
He's an insane talent that will be wanted by many. I strongly doubt he would ever end up here.
Not that there is a huge possibility we would be able to get him, but I think his style of play is not very suitable for EPL. He is a lanky lad and tackles and body checks here would really harm his confidence.
But a front three of Rashford, Havertz and Haaland is a tasty proposition.

Jose was assistant manager at Barca, so he kinda already has coached Barca players. Google is your friend mate...
He obviously meant manage
Nope 100% said coach and he was an assistant manager, so did both roles. So obviously he was wrong.
McTominay is a trier, but he is not the midfielder that we need. We need a couple of midfielders who can control games and we don't have any here atm.
He is exactly the kind of midfielder we need - but we need a really skilled ball-player next to him.
Once the Saudis take over we'll have 3 of him like City have with Bernardo, David and KDB.
We are clearly looking to replace Pogba.
I have a feeling that if we sign Havertz, Pogba will leave.
From what I saw, I still have reservations about Havertz adapting in Epl. He looks a bit gangly and lightweight.
But I don't see him playing every week so I cannot say really.
So you are happy with a midfielder who cannot pass the ball any further than 10 yards without it going to the opposition. Too slow when players are running at him, and gets turned inside out with any skillful player. My God we have gone backwards.
Settling for people of his level is one of the reasons we're nearly in the relegation zone.
All midfielders should have skill, mate.
Probably won’t happen but Havertz in January and Sancho in the summer would be the dream. Then again I bet neither want to play championship football so.
Sanchez?
'I
Robbie Fowler'?feck, should be Sancho but Auto-correct did me over. Will edit it.
