Pretty sure Dalot can play left side too, so he’ll get opportunities even if Shaw got injured... plus Dalot kinda has that young Gareth Bale feel about him where you’re not sure whether he’s going to eventually become an attacking winger or develop into a competent full back.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Price aside, he'll be a huge success here. He's way better than what we currently have. And that's what successful teams do....upgrade on what they have. Successful teams don't dither about the development of younger players who may not even prove to be good enough.
He’s effectively a breakdancer; never seen a player spend so much time on the deck, arms and legs all over, trying to salvage his woeful positional play.
For a fan base who’ve spent the past few years condemning the solid Valencia and Shaw for their lack of impact going forward to be so excited by the club spending a large chunk of the transfer budget on a technically inept, awkward fullback.
Might as well have got Tom Edwards from Stoke, newly crowned player of the season, for a fraction of the price to battle it out with Dalot.

Nonsense
This is either a joke or you have never seriously watched him play.
That article suggests a "world record fee" for a 21 y.o. fullback, with only one year of Top Flight football, comes from 12th League position team.
It does send a message to other teams we will buy the players from.

He would change his tune if City were about to sign him.
Wrong question. Why are we so inept at this since Fergie and gill retired .
Never seen more divided opinions than here. Half the posters are claiming he isn't good on the ball and is not great as an attacking FB and the other half are saying the exact opposite.
Dunno myself what he's like, but I'm hoping for the best.

Every thread is like that.
I wonder why.
Alot of full backs are converted to be fair. The same happened with Ashley Cole to name one.
City have been linked, but I can't imagine there's anything in it - he's the least Guardiola-like fullback imaginable.
The forum just has polarised views. There’s never a consensus on any player. I’ve not seen enough of him - but if he does sign, it really won’t be hard for him to improve on what we have had for the last 5 years.
I have said there is more full backs about at a more decent price, but saying that Ole wants young blood, and he is AWB.
If Oles he'll bent on getting him in then the Board needs to back him and get him? I think if the bid is upped a bit, with add ons we get him?
I think reading he wants the move as well, if so that's a plus we would be getting a top full back and young.

It's gonna get done at 50m plus 5-10m in add ons. This is just negotiating with a little give and take from both sides.
I agree that the board should back the manager - I said the same when Mourinho was here, even when he was targeting players I didn't really like.
Ultimately, it will be Solskjaer who gets the chop if things go badly next year, so he has to be given a fair crack at it.
We need to get cralearive ti complete this.
Wonder if Roy will take our club captain Ashley to finalise the deal.
Maybe they get TFM on loan again.

Pay up, I want this lad.
For a 20 year old player, he had a quite solid season in toughest league in the world and Ole obviously think he can build on that experience much more complete player.
It's a longer road but potential is there for a solid defender that will help stopping the avalanche of goals conceded from last season.

I think he is an absolute must personally. Not one you’d necessarily sign on Fifa but Sanchez is an 87 on there .
If you look at his consistency, performace levels and stats from last season he's more or less on par with Kyle walker, better than trippier and only really comes behind TAA on assists, and consider he did that in a mediocre to poor crystal palace side. Thats key. Not his name and price tag, how he plays

I hope you're right,i just wonder if there is any truth in the Sky Italy news that the Juventus director is at United's London office to discuss a Pogba deal that involves Cancelo.
Utter shite i reckon. Theres no one there apart from the commercial team etc whos going to negotiate the sale?
Hard to trust Woody to get deals done and done quickly. We're in for a long summer. So is OGS in fact.
Give them the damn 50 Million Ed and get it over with!
You're now haggling over a few million.

Suddenly gone quiet.
Hope this means we are wrapping up the deal

Considering Solskjær wants the bulk of our transfer business done before July 1st (which is the start of pre season), there should be some very busy people at United right now.Suddenly gone quiet.
Hope this means we are wrapping up the deal
There was literally stuff out yesterday saying that it'll take £50m to land him.Suddenly gone quiet.
Hope this means we are wrapping up the deal
Ed is haggling with Palace. Its normal in football when dealing with millions of pounds. We want the best deal, so do Palace.
It will happen and it will be soon I think. If a fee is agreed in the next 5 days or so, it will still be a week, maybe 2 until we see him in the colours of red on sky sports news. Patients my freind
What Solskjaer wants and what Woody does appear to be mutually exclusive events. Doubt we'll be done with our signings by 1 July as it would imply we have a degree of strategy around our execution of transfers.
Well in fairness, the World record fee for a fullback is ridiculously low compared to several other positions. £50 million for AWB will prove to be a steal in 3-4 years time
I forgot they even existed.
Awesome.
You do realise it’s not like ordering something off of Amazon right?
Managers can say they want this player by such and such a date but if the other club doesn’t want to sell or is asking for a price you don’t deem to be acceptable it’s going to take time till you hash out a deal. Every manager ever has probably said I want them in before pre-season starts. Doesn’t mean it’s always going to be possible.
Quality control
Ole is simply a dick. We need someone more ruthless who will give the money and wrap deals up straight away without fecking around with haggling over pennies. Pisses me off.
Bit harsh, no?
40m up front + 10m once he gets 25 England caps would be a fair deal.
If the AWB deal goes through, Dalot is the unfortunate victim of collateral damage caused by our clown car of a club switch managers for fun. If Ole doesn't rate Dalot, he has no future. Just look at lukaku. Jose's main guy, relegated to a bench warmer for rashy. The manager dictates the players he wants, seemingly, he doesn't want dalot as a starter.
How on Earth is this Ole’s fault? He isn’t the one doing the negotiating, in fact don’t think any manager does that part of the deal?
Unless you’ve been playing too much Football Manager.
