Yeah both would be brilliant
Bruno Fernandes | United not interested due to doubts over passing ability

If it’s end of the year like June 30 then that makes sense but not in a new physics fiscal year. Different months within a year don’t make much of a difference.
And technically we can get both for 70m which is crazier.
We are buying everyone ! Woody is going to strut out like Connor McGregor first game of the season
Just don't understand the delay in getting the transfers completed. Maybe with Dybala but not with Bruno and Harry, if it ends up we get them.
Really can’t see us getting both. Just my opinion but I think we will try and get a fairly quick answer from Dybala. If he turns us down we will go hard (sorry muppets) for Bruno. If Dybala agrees to join I don’t think we will go for Bruno. Maguire and a CDM more important than having both Dybala and Bruno.

its the vince mcmahon walk. conor just copied him like everything elseIt’s Woody. We haggle over 5-10m until the last minute and then pay what they initially asked anyway. Makes no sense.
This isn't true at all. Last season was a prime example.
I dont get it either. The quicket we sign the, then quicker the can get used to Oles's tactics and gel with the team faster.
Who is the cdm, please don’t say Longstaff.
Kermit warned me that the devil would tempt me with his corrupted gospel. Be gone from this place foul demon!
Yea, it is hard to see us getting both. The briefing against Fernandes seems troubling, but for the first time I'm starting to think we might pull it off. If we do? And get Maguire? It's the sort of summer we can use to finally start to build a new longterm foundation imo
And why isn't that possible? We were supposed to have a big spending window this summer, and so far we haven't. Obviously that changes if those 3 players come in.
Fair enough Viince McMahon so
Hopefully is.
I can understand us not signing them while we were halfway across the world but why didn't we wrap any deals up as soon as we got back and involve them in the Norway trip etc?
Based on everything I know about them (which I freely admit largely comes from other caf posters) I'm struggling to see how they would both fit into the starting eleven without either a) Pogba going or b) one of them being played out of their position.
Let's face it: Pogba goes now or goes in 12 months. I'm fine with preparing for that early
Not for me. But I guess we will see.
the Fernandes deal is just clicbait !
Some publications secured a deal between Sporting and Manchester United that would only be revealed after the Super Cup, which will be played next Sunday in the Algarve.
Sporting have assured RTP that this news is "completely false" and looks forward to "even the Super Cup replicating identical rumors on the same channels." So far there is no proposal, let alone an agreement by Bruno Fernandes.

No idea mate, but he’s the only one we seem to have been linked with. Really don’t think it’s McTom’s best position but he’s been doing a good job there tbf. As long as it’s anyone but Matic I don’t mind.
I haven't got a clue. It would have been the most sensible to do when we got back. Too sensible for Woody it seems. Although I would have liked signings earlier I think we should at least get hem in to give them some minutes to gel with the team before the season starts.
Dybala is forward, Fernandes is a CM.
Fernandes does a lot more defensive work and tackling than Pogba despite being more prolific. He would play right of a midfield three with Pogba left. That’s how I interpret by what I have seen of each player. Having a top CDM would be the cherry on the cake of course.
Of course I don’t know much about Fernandes besides watching extensive highlights and the nations cup this summer but I have watched Dybala dozens of times.
Dybala is a forward who, by all accounts I've read from Juve fans, is less effective when moved out wide (to RW, say).
So if you want to get the best out of Dybala, you play him centrally. Which is where fitting him, Bruno and Pogba into the same team becomes trickier as far as I can see.
3 man midfield of McTominay, Pogba and Bruno. Dybala false 9 and 2 wide pacy attackers eg Martial and Greenwood
Yeah I’m also anyone but Matic. I just don’t have a strong feeling for Longstaff, if a James type fee fair enough but not a ridiculous amount like Newcastle are stating. I really wish we went for Kante when at Leicester. Anyway I think this season we could fudge it with Matic/Fred/Pereira/McT all covering but if we get top 4 we would need to spend big on a Veratti, Kante type signing.
I think it's very unlikley Rashford wouldn't start ahead of Greenwood. At which point the question becomes "how well do Martial/Rashford do when played a RF?".
It might be fine but one would have hoped that if we were signing someone like Dybala it would be because we see somewhere for him to seamlessly slot into the side. Which for all I know we do, I'm just curious as to what it would be.
Probably saved a few million in wages.
Yeah I agree with the Juve fans but I think with a narrow front three interchanging he would do fine. You look at the majority of his goals from open play they are pretty equally shared centrally and coming in from the right.
To me it would be very similar to Mane Firminho Salah if we played Martial Rashford Dybala.
As for Pogba he predominantly plays left of a midfield whereas Bruno plays right, so personally I think it would be a perfect pairing or be it with a better DM than Matic behind them. Anyway just my thoughts but it would certainly put a dent in Lingards and Matas first team plans if Dybala was signed.
This would be my preference. Rashford/Dybala/Martial/Greenwood all interchangeable in a front three based on form and fitness.
4-2-3-1 also used in some games where this suits us.
Yea it wasnt meant to be properly hidden, it doesn't work very well with paragraphs.
Saw the white text too. Pull it off
I mentioned he could be a poor mans KDB. I see it.
Just don't see it. English journalist have kept on dismissing this all summer basically. Whereas Dybala, we briefed the media we're in talks.
We genuinely must not be in for him, otherwise why the constant denials?

Looks like a pretty good version of him on YouTube to be fair. Some passing on him and that shot.
Deadly combo. Would be a completly different United.
Out of the non-Maguire players we have been linked to this window I shall be most disappointed with Woodward if he fails to sign Fernandes, you can just see City buying him as Silva's replacement next season and us regretting it for the next 5+ years (as per the original Silva deal).
I want him more than Dybala, though obviously I want both. Am I crazy?
I think he actually fits the way Ole want to press and play a bit better.
Didn't Di Marzio or some other supposedly reliable journo claim the deal was done over a month back? Now it is close. So either we've decided to unagree the deal slightly or, perhaps surprisingly, journalists are full of shite.
