Bryan Mbeumo | Improved offer not actually placed yet (Ducker) | United confident they can close the deal

Cunha is ambidextrous, shoots and passes with both feet.

He's clearly right footed and will move the ball to his right foot, and will use the outside of his right foot over using his left foot at times. When he uses his left foot its good but he chooses it less

He may have a preference but he can score and assist with both as his highlights show. Hence ambidextrous.
 
When you look at Whitwell latest article it seems we see him as a backup striker target to Delap. Personally I find that baffling as his best stuff comes from the right side.
If tonight goes well, there could be both on there way ? Hojlund goes out on loan then.. because can't see us selling for any kind of decent cash but maybe season long loan then off ?

Yeah him and Cunha makes me less concerned about Delap as main striker, however just don't think it's a realistic possibility even with more money

Ambidextrous would be someone who is equally good on both feet. Then he would have no preference and no reason to use the outside of his right foot. He would also take as many set pieces and penalties with his left foot as his right. Someone like Forlan who took corners with both feet.

He's just got a strong weaker foot when he chooses to shoot or pass with it. He will mostly do everything in between with his right foot, set pieces and sometimes cross with the outside of his foot like Bruno.
 
That's why this deal makes a lot of sense, the problem is being able to fund it in our financial situation
i think if we are able to sell rashford, sancho and either garnacho/mainoo we should have the financial flexibilty to get the task done
 
If they replace Hojlund with a player scarcely better than Hojlund, then they have no one but themselves to blame if we find ourselves floundering in 10th over the holidays.
if they don't bring in a striker who can find the back of the net or at least 2-3 attacking threats.....Amorim might as well get ready to pack his bags by december
 
People can forget about anything the extra signings like this, Semenyo or Gyokeres now.

It'll be Delap and Cunha and then we'll have to see what we sell, where we are short... Technically with Delap, Cunha, Zirkzee, Mount and Amad we are fine with the 9/10's for a no European football season.
 
20 goals and 8 assists for this lad in the league this season

Would be my top choice to replace Garnacho
 
If we can get him he is a must. Excellent player
 
Amad is a good player, but he shouldn't be a guaranteed starter. United need to get this guy to rotate or play with him.

Willing to bet we are not selling Garnacho to just sign Cunha and Delap. Especially when we are offloading Antony Sancho and Rashford and the main area of issues is lack of goals.

We will obviously do business elsewhere but I expect at least 3 attackers maybe 4 if we are selling Garnacho and even maybe Bruno

Obviously if Bruno goes a lot changes. If not though, our options would be:
Delap, zirkzee, Chido for striker
Cunha, Amad, Mount, Zirkzee, Mainoo/Bruno for 10.

Fewer injuries next season, less need to rotate, and we already have 2 per position without further signings there. Unless we sell one of the above, I doubt it

Its not a numbers game its a quality game and its clear a number of those options are not favoured. If not sold they’ll be loaned.

Its already been reported we want another number 10 after Cunha

Eh you have to look at the full picture. Numbers play a part. Amad is a starter, I don't really think we'll use him consistently at wing back so I see him as a right 10. Cunha left 10. And we have decent backups. I'm not crazy of Mount but it's clear Amorim rates him so he has to be considered with the role that suits his supposed ability (and wage).

Maybe we sell Zirkzee in addition to everyone else, but don't really see it happening.

It was reported we want another 10, but it's also been said by our manager that we had 2 different plans. One of we won the Europa league, one if we didn't. Amorim specifically talked about the depth required in the 2 scenarios.

Amad is a starter due to lack of options. He has 7 league goals
 
He'd be a good versatile signing (10, ST, RWB) but he'll have better options and we're highly unlikely to have the funds.

Ok, don't want to keep crossposting simiular things, but... basically that reported 100m is already priced in (sales or not), then in terms of the additional money, Garnacho's impending sale given that he's a home-grown, would give us multiples on the balance sheet, to spend. Rashford likewise, even at 40m; Antony is very likely off for 35m minimum, whether to Atletico or to ETH's Leverkusen once they get the Wirtz dividend; Sancho started today for Chelsea and seems to be in Maresca's squad plans

Additionally, there's the 16-20m we're going to get from Benfica selling AC to Real. Outside chance of Greenwood getting sold on from Marseille for good money and with our 50% sell-on. Even Onana, if he goes, is being replaced by a cheaper keeper in terms of the books, which will help. BM is absolutely an option, although Cherki or the kid from Argentina are cheaper options depending on whether a) they can be persuaded and b) Amorim's preferences
 
Imagine signing Mbuemo with Cunha. That’s 2 quality prem players who’ll add goals and assists. Please make it happen.
 
20 goals and 8 assists for this lad in the league this season

It’s mad how both him and Wissa have 39 goals and 11 assist between them this season.
 
------Gyokeres-------
Cunha---Mbeumo

Damn that would make me excited for next season! Open the cheque book Jim Rat
 
We could probably do it if we sold Bruno, along with Garnacho and all the other players who are regularly mentioned.
True. The question would be whether they want to join without CL football. Cunha is definitely coming. He loves us. The other 2 will probably have offers from CL teams
