I disagree, we need players of the right profile and in the right age who are either there or can develop. There’s no easy or fast fixing this. We are closer to Liverpool buying Henderson phase than Liverpool buying VVD phase. People need to realize that.

Brentford are a much better coached team than we will ever be under Amorim.
This is such a lazy tripe response
I’m talking about buying players from smaller or midtable PL teams as you seem to have something against it
Interesting
Not exactly, i pointed out for this summer, also considering that we are favorites for Delap. Good buys can be done from PL teams, just the timing and players need to be the right ones.
Lineup leaks are not the same as transfers information. It's insane how this needs to be explained to people.
I've been saying this for a while. Of the three attacking loanees Anthony is the one mostly likely to come back.
With functioning wing backs that overlap properly and can cross the ball and a no 9 who makes the right runs it's not impossible for him to become a success here.
He is the only one of the bunch who i wouldn't begrudge another bite of the apple.
Agree. Like, if Brentford finish 10th and Manchester United finish 5th next year, will we be saying "United is a better coached team than Brentford will ever be under Frank"? No nuance to it, just an angry dog barking.
Two pages since I last checked this thread, not even a rumour to keep me going. It just sounds too good to be true to get all of Mbeumo, a striker and Cunha in one transfer window.
He's definitely good, but I think I'd prefer a new attacking wingback so we can have Amad higher up.
Hope it's true. Very good player. Him and Cunha behind a capable striker would be a dream. Amad as RWB. Bruno and Case (or his replacement) as CM. We would look quite good.
He's the one who has shown his attitude doesn't stink, and I think he has the mental resilience required. But I'd be pretty wary of coming back in the fold if I were him. Seems like he's really loving it in Betis, and if he/we don't hit the ground running next season, he'll likely end up resenting the decision to stay and fight for a place.
I wouldn't mind him either, but it would still be the best solution for all parties if we can move on with a decent transfer fee and re-invest in someone new like Mbeumo.
Yup. And therein lies the problem when buying below the bar.
Amorim has specifically stated that Antony doesn’t have the physical attributes for the Premier League. He’s not going to bring him back only for him to fail again for the same reason. His stock is as high as it’s ever going to be and we will 100% cash in on him this summer. I don’t think there is any chance he is part of Amorim’s plans next season. Zero chance.
Once the fans are on your back you’d need to have some mental resilience to block them all out because one below par game and the toxicity starts up again. Don’t see any of those on loan coming back to play fir United again
United fans love their redemption arcs. I also don't think, we'll see him in the team going forward. I agree with others, there might be ways to make use of him but that applies to 99% of players at the highest level. There is always a way to play a player in a way that he can contribute. The question is, is the cost connected worth the effort.
Like many have said you play this lineup in your smaller games. For better opposition he goes in the 10 and we get runners in the midfield.
60% of games it should still work. Not like we have to worry about Inter Milan and Barcelona.
You’re saying that after not even a full season from Amorim or a pre season.
why are we talking about Mbeumo? isn't he like a backup if we don't get Cunha?
did someone say they're the same?
The best link i've seen was at the start of the month from Telegraph:
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/05/04/mbeumo-and-cunha-transfer-targets-man-utd/
Yes please
Thank you! I wonder what fee we would be talking? Surely nothing crazy given his contract status.
Finally, a link!!
The Telegraph suggested £60m.
If we sell Garna for £50-60m its a no brainer!
That’s a big outlay! I wouldn’t expect us to do that and Cunha to be fair.
We absolutely must and probably will. Rashford Antony Sancho Garnacho out and looks like we will not spend alot on the CF unfortunately so adding goals from the other forwards makes sense.
I'm quite sure we wouldn't do the deal (or similar) without offloading Garna.
The way I see it, Garnacho would fund a player like Mbuemo, whilst Cunha/Delap come out of our current £100m budget (with only £10m left over).
Sales from Antony/Rashford/Sancho together with wage savings of free agent can drive a CM signing and/or a wingback.
I think it’s possible. We have 100m for Cunha and Delap. We could use Garnacho money to get Mbeumo. Then The club plans to raise 100m from sales of Rashford, Sancho, Antony which we could use on two/three more signings
If we are serious it’s exactly what we should be doing. I reckon those two behind Zirkzee would be an acceptable front line. It’s a bit of a Mane/Firmino/Salah type composition.
We really need a new goalkeeper.
We can also spend more than what we get for Garnacho and Rashford due to them being pure profit deals
And if Amad get injured then what? We should build a squad instead of starting 11.
Amad can play on both position depending who our oponent is and that is big plus. Look at City attacking options through the years. They has Mahrez, Sterling, Sane, Bernardo for the wings... Liverpool have Gakpo, Diaz for their left wing and stil buy Chiesa.
Onana and Atlay could both leave. And we are linked with a new keeper
gets things right =/= transfer news, although I did mention it broke transfer news very early before
Yeah and I'm being a bit conservative in my thinking. For example if Antony goes for 30-35m and Rashford goes for the same, plus a 5m penalty for Sancho, we have 60-65m EUR. That can get a GK and a CM? Altay will leave I'm sure he might fetch us sub 5m EUR
Okay so when someone asked what they've done in the context of transfer news, you said they get things right and pointed to leaked line-ups.
I don't think theyve got anything on the transfer front - but I'm happy to be corrected. The Mbuemo link is an exclusive from The Telegraph as of 5th May and his recent tweet is a few weeks after that.
