We surely will sign someone now, Bruno or another.
Bruno Fernandes | United not interested due to doubts over passing ability

The smart business would be sign him now even if we get Dybala, keep Pogba, etc... The Pogba circus will only come up every window until he eventually moves to RM. Bruno won't be any cheaper next season.
He broke the Dybala story.
There's nothing really been said on United and Bruno since Di Marzio and Amoyal's claims.
Erikson has to move first.
Is that it? People are acting like it has been ruled out by Ole...
I think it's been apparent for some time now our interest in him was and still is very real. The only question is whether he was earmarked as a Pogba replacement, and if our interest faded when we learned of Dybalas availability.
Welcome to this thread. Every page you will see these exact same posts - "Don't think we were ever interested in him at all" and "Only Portuguese source is reporting this, must be Gaitan v2"
That's that then
We’ve been linked with this guy for months. Initially it was expected he’d move after the Portuguese cup final at the end of May, but it’s now August and still nothing has happened. It doesn’t genuinely seem any club has put a proper offer in for him.
This should have been a piss-easy signing for us and the fact we haven’t done it at this late stage makes me feel there was never any real interest.
I do hope I’m wrong, however, and we are calling Sporting’s bluff.

I don't know, and why would you think I know? I only said that Bruno is one of the targets and that is all we know about him. Longstaff is another on the list according to reports.
Thanks.
Personally, I believe we're after Eriksen. Spurs will want a replacement of Bruno or Le Celso before they allow him to leave.
Come on that's the daily mail... that's not even a source never mind reliable.
Bruno and Longstaff are too different. When you buy a newly built flat, it’s not like you are choosing whether to purchase a fridge or a dishwasher - you pretty much need both
I’d take him over both of Dybala and Bruno. Perfect player. Let’s get the cash for Lukaku, and break club record for this guy.
It's about as reliable as the guy in the thread title who claimed a deal was close.........a week ago.
Di Marzio has been right many times in the past, he has a great track record.
The daily mail is something you wipe your arse with when you're out of bog roll.
He was flat out wrong on this one. We're being used as usual.
Daily Mail aren't the only people to say we've got no interest, but you keep on dreaming mate. Fight the Bruno fight.
We'll see if you're right. Few days left yet.
Eriksen has one year left. Spurs run the risk of one of their most saleable assets leaving for free. They need to do something in the next few days, or he will agree a contract with a foreign club in January.
Spurs won't now get a record bid from us. Best they can hope from us, if it were to happen of course, is to substitute the majority of the fee they'd pay for a Bruno or Le Celso.
I hope I'm wrong because he looks good and we're light in midfield.
Yes I am aware they play in different positions. I should have made it clear I was referring to midfielder targets, not specific positions in the midfield. I still don't understand why you expect me to know who is on the list?
Well aren’t you our manager? If you don’t know then who in the bloody hell knows?
Because you say with absolute certainty (or at least so it sounds) that we are not interested in Bruno. If you know this, you should also know who we want then
I hate to break it to ya.....
And the Kean story. And gigi back to Juve. And countless other stories that people just glance over
Didn’t know that! Then he must be our top priority. Unless he wants to join another club.
Di Marzio not always correct, no one ever is/will be. However, his information is correct more often than not.
Yes.
Correct.
Exactly.
The guy has a very good track record and gets more right than wrong. Take nothing away, he will get things wrong from time to time just like every other journalist but very rarely does he post s*** just to be attention seeking like a load of journalists out there do.
Eh? I said the opposite - Bruno is on a list of targets because it was reported by BBC's Simon Peach. I then said there is uncertainty whether we have acted on that interest. That is because DI Marizo says it is close, whereas some UK journalistsave suggested it may just all be noise from Portugal.Because you say with absolute certainty (or at least so it sounds) that we are not interested in Bruno. If you know this, you should also know who we want then
Are we going to have a match day thread for the Portuguese supercup?
It smacks of people just protecting themselves from disappointment if we don't sign him or anyone else. Seems it's better to be negative and be pleasantly surprised than to get your hopes up and then be let down.
I'm staying positive on this one. Di Marzio has the best track record of anyone else so I'm assuming it's on. Cock staying out til I hear otherwise.
This is the one signing we are crying out for. Someone who can create and score. What time is this game today?
Like your optimism and hope you are right as I really want this signing to happen
I reckon Di Marzio and his team have been fed the wrong info, probably by the Sporting side who uses our name to drum up interest. United have continually stressed we have never bid for him, just a passing interest but that’s gone now after Dybala became available and perhaps Mandzukic. We aren’t gonna sign all three
